Job Description

We’re looking for a Junior Motion Graphics Designer to join our Marketing Team in London and help develop our brand across a wide variety of channels including social, website, digital and product.

The star candidate will be a fresh/entry level graduate with a budding passion for gaming culture alongside their craft of motion graphics and a splash of VFX/CGI/3D thrown in for good measure. A good sense of humour will go a long way too, as we want our content to always be funny and shareable online.

Whilst your role will not involve gaming design, it does centre around creating 'viral-style' social media content within the world of esports.

This includes watching loads of live streamers playing games on Twitch/YouTube/Facebook, ripping it and applying your own creative juices to turning it into unique bite-size social content we can use to go viral across Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok and more!

Here are two examples of viral-style VFX/CGI/motion graphics accounts we love:
