What you’ll do

We're looking for a Motion Designer to join our multidisciplinary team in London, bringing brand identities to life through best-in-class motion design. Working across all Landor clients, you'll use your expertise in 2D and 3D motion design and video editing to create dynamic brand assets, brand films, social content and campaigns that elevate brands and engage audiences. Motion plays an increasingly central role in our branding work, and you'll have the opportunity to shape how global brands behave across digital products, campaigns, experiences and social platforms.

In this fast-paced studio environment, you'll collaborate with designers, strategists and creatives to push the boundaries of motion. Your core focus will be motion design and animation, supported by strong video editing skills that help craft compelling brand stories across multiple touchpoints. From high-energy digital activations to refined, cinematic brand expressions, you'll bring a deep understanding of movement, pacing, editing and storytelling to every project.

What you’ll need

You are a motion specialist with a passion for bringing brands to life through movement. With an expert grasp of animation principles, you know how to transform static design into fluid, engaging and expressive motion. Equally confident editing short videos, you understand how pacing, rhythm and sequencing can shape powerful narratives and create memorable brand experiences. You have a sharp eye for detail, timing and craft, ensuring every piece of work feels refined and impactful.

Comfortable working across multiple clients, industries and visual styles, you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where no two projects are the same.

You're highly proficient in Cinema4D, Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator, with the ability to develop compelling motion narratives that extend brand identities beyond the static. Experience with generative AI workflows for motion, as well as emerging tools such as Cavalry, would be an advantage. You're a natural problem-solver, always experimenting with movement, transitions, composition and editing techniques to find the strongest creative solution. Above all, you bring energy, originality and a deep understanding of how motion and film can amplify brand storytelling.

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.

We build brands. We build futures. Landor, a WPP company, is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics, committed to a culture of respect where everyone belongs and can progress in their careers.
