Freelance Social Designer; Static and Motion

We're looking for a conceptually strong Social Designer with razor-sharp taste and a genuine feel for trends, making social ads for a roster of global brands. You'll know what resonates with a culturally switched-on audience, especially Gen Z, and make work that feels native to how people actually scroll, save and share.

A big part of this is collage. Static and interactive, editorial and organic, nothing that reads as stock or overly polished. If you have a strong, current sense of visual culture and you love that kind of work, we'd like to see it.

• Design social ads from brief to completion - statics, motion and video, and layered editorial-style collage
• Retouch and composite packshots and product visuals, turning a small set of brand assets into content people actually want to share
• Build collages that rely as much on your eye as your craft: sourcing images and elements that genuinely suit each brand, combining texture, colour and type with real style. On brand, but never brand-heavy
• Generate on-brand lifestyle assets using GenAI tools (e.g. Figma Weave), with real care for brand IP accuracy
• Take ownership of projects independently, working closely with our Creative Leads across multiple brands

• A portfolio with real cultural fluency - work made for a Gen Z audience, not adapted for them. Collage, editorial or moodboard-style work is a strong advantage
• Both static and motion/video work in your portfolio, with strong composition and confident product handling
• Confident Adobe Suite skills (Photoshop and After Effects essential)
• An eye for what's visually relevant right now, and the instinct to know when something is on-trend versus dated
• The ability to work autonomously to a high standard and hit the ground running with minimal onboarding. GenAI experience (Figma Weave or similar) is a plus

We move fast and hold ourselves to high standards, and we back that with clear briefs and honest feedback.

This is a rolling freelance brief rather than a single booking. We're building a group of designers we can come back to regularly, so if the work suits you, we'd like to work with you again.
