Who We Are

Food Truck Promotions creates mobile brand experiences that bring brands into the real world through custom vehicles, pop-ups, and interactive activations.

We're looking for an imaginative experiential and spatial designer to help us push our creative work further. Someone who can take a brand, a brief, and a footprint and turn them into an experience people want to walk into, interact with, photograph, and remember.

Your work will shape everything from the overall activation environment to the smallest custom detail: a sculptural product display, a playful customization station, an unexpected serving window, or a dimensional sign that makes someone stop across the street.

What You'll Do
  • Develop original concepts for mobile tours, brand activations, pop-ups, sampling experiences, and retail environments.
  • Translate brand identities and campaign objectives into physical spaces through form, materials, color, lighting, graphics, and interaction.
  • Design complete activation footprints, including vehicle placement, guest entry, queues, activity zones, product displays, photo moments, staff work spaces, and storage.
  • Design custom fabrication elements such as bars, counters, shelving, display fixtures, seating, oversized props, interactive games, and personalization stations.
  • Design vehicle interiors and exteriors, including dimensional signage, rooftop features, serving windows, integrated displays, and surrounding scenic elements.
  • Develop mood boards, sketches, spatial layouts, 3D models, and compelling renderings that clearly communicate your ideas to clients.
  • Prepare dimensioned design drawings, material and finish references, and annotated details so production partners can estimate and develop the build.
  • Collaborate with producers, graphic designers, fabricators, and installers to refine concepts around budgets, timelines, transportation, and site conditions.
  • - Review fabrication drawings, samples, and progress photos to help preserve the design through execution.
  • - Develop reusable and modular elements that can adapt across brands, vehicles, and tour stops.
Your Design Approach
  • You know when a brand calls for something whimsical and theatrical, and when it needs restraint and precision. You can make a compact footprint feel intentional, immersive, and visually distinctive.
  • You think about how an experience works as carefully as how it looks: where guests stand, what catches their attention, how they interact, how staff replenish products, and how the installation packs up for its next stop.
  • You bring fresh ideas and can explain the creative reasoning behind them. You're also comfortable simplifying a design when needed while protecting the element that makes it special.
What You Bring
  • A strong portfolio of experiential, spatial, exhibit, scenic, retail, or hospitality design, including examples that were physically built.
  • Experience owning projects from initial concept through design development and fabrication collaboration.
  • Excellent understanding of scale, proportion, materials, finishes, lighting, and environmental storytelling.
  • Proficiency in a professional 3D design workflow, such as Sketch Up, Rhino, Cinema 4D, Blender, or equivalent, plus presentation and drawing tools.
