When was the last time a business you engaged with or bought something from a brand advertising on Instagram or Tiktok? What made it stand out?

I’m willing to bet, you can’t really remember.

And yet you’re a Motion & Video Designer. So you should know better. Right?

Heck, you could do better! You just want the right brand to go do it with. Right?

How about this:

• A jewellery retailer which specialises in high-quality luxury goods
• Fast growth firm, offering a sustainable product
• They’ve already got around 1 million customers, and are looking to add more customers to their family.
• A full remit to create engaging motion on video content that's predominantly delivered across social.

Your audience will be discerning with expectations for high-quality content with similarly high production values. So an understanding of the luxury market and how customers tend to purchase is essential to the needs of this role.

This is retail, so the environment will be fast-paced with quick turnarounds to meet certain trading deadlines. Especially around specific calendar trading points like Black Friday, Christmas, Valentines, etc.

Projects can vary in complexity and scale, and can run between 2 weeks and be quite large. To be quite quick and fast and need just a couple of days to turn around. But with each, the output has to be on point and align to the brand.

The environment itself really similar to what you might find in a Growth Marketing or an eCommerce agency but in-house, working directly for the brand.

It’s a well-oiled machine which functions day-to-day very effectively and well organised.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The role is going to be working directly with the Marketing Director, she is a truly inspiring leader with a great marketing pedigree within premium and luxury brands.

The sky is the limit, with the opportunity for you to develop into becoming a Motion/Video expert who will keep an eye on trends and constantly be coming to the table with new ideas. The brand is particularly focused on short form video content and educating its customers on the world of sustainable diamonds and jewellery.

Another key part of this role will be to look at the business’ Social holistically.  They have a great foundation of Digital Design activity internally but are now looking for a dedicated professional who is an expert in Motion/Video to join the team. They want to build long term relationships with their customers, as jewellery is bought to mark life occasions. So they want to be front of mind when those occasions arise.
