Who We Are

Spatial is an innovative creative design and marketing agency that brings brands, ideas and experiences to life. We work on brand identities, digital experiences, social content and integrated campaigns, mixing creativity, strategy and design to make work that grows the brands we work for.

The Role

We're looking for a Midweight Graphic Designer with a sharp creative eye, a love for digital and social, and a real feel for what makes D2C brands stand out.

You'll work across a varied mix of brands, designing social content, campaign assets, point of sale and retail materials, and website layouts. You'll use AI tools as a natural part of how you work, to explore ideas faster, build concepts and lift the quality of what goes out. We want someone curious and proactive who brings their own ideas to the table.

What You'll Be Doing

Social Media and Digital Content

• Designing scroll stopping content for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and other channels
• Creating graphics, carousels, stories, ad creative and campaign assets that stay true to each brand
• Turning creative concepts and marketing briefs into visuals that work for each platform
• Keeping on top of social trends, formats and digital culture, and bringing those ideas into client work

D2C, Campaigns and Point of Sale

• Designing campaign assets that run across paid social, email, web and retail
• Creating POS and in store materials such as shelf displays, posters, packaging inserts and promotional collateral
• Adapting campaigns across formats and touchpoints while keeping them consistent
• Supporting product launches, seasonal campaigns and key retail moments

AI and Creative Exploration

• Using AI tools to speed up concepting, mockups and asset production
• Testing new tools and workflows and sharing what works with the team
• Using AI to make the work better, while keeping craft, taste and brand integrity at the centre

Concept Development and Brand Design

• Bringing ideas and visual references to creative brainstorms
• Supporting brand identities, visual guidelines and marketing materials
• Exploring creative directions, moodboards and design concepts for client projects
• Keeping a high standard of quality, consistency and detail across everything we deliver

Collaboration and Execution

• Working closely with designers, strategists and the marketing team to bring ideas to life
• Juggling multiple projects and hitting deadlines
• Taking feedback well and refining work through the creative process
• Owning your tasks from brief to final delivery

You're Who We're Looking For If You...

• Have proven experience designing for brands at a midweight level, ideally in an agency or for D2C brands
• Have a strong portfolio that shows social content, digital campaigns and website design, plus POS or retail work
• Know Adobe Creative Suite inside out and are comfortable in Canva and Figma
• Already use AI creative tools in your workflow and are keen to keep learning
• Have a strong grasp of typography, composition, colour and visual storytelling
• Understand social platforms and know what makes content engaging
• Communicate well, stay organised and manage your time
• Care about detail and enjoy learning, experimenting and growing
• Bonus points for motion design or basic video editing skills (After Effects, CapCut, Premiere).

What You'll Get

• 28 days holiday
• Workplace pension
• A lovely studio in Notting Hill (with a very cute dog) that you'll actually want to come into
• Flexible hours
• A relaxed, friendly team with a flat structure and no micromanagement
• Regular team socials
• Direct access to the founder and real ownership from day one
• Work across a varied portfolio of brands
• Room to grow as the agency grows
