Bring the Brand to Life. Create the Moments. Shape the Experience. We build brands that make life brighter. But great brands don't stop at the identity. They live in experiences. Campaigns. Films. Spaces. Events. Content. Conversations. The moments where people actually connect with a brand. That's where you come in. We work with brands shaping how people actually live - in the real world. From Third Space health clubs to Peligoni's Greek escape, from The Thinking Traveller to Rosa's Thai. Travel, leisure, hospitality, wellbeing, experiences - the good stuff. We're looking for a creative who loves turning ideas into reality. Someone who can take strategy, positioning and identity and transform them into experiences people can see, feel and remember. If you're excited by the thought of creating campaigns, directing motion, shaping environments, producing films and building brand experiences that live beyond the logo, let's talk. The Role at a Glance: Senior Brand Experience Designer Clerkenwell, London, Hybrid (3 days in studio) Circa £45,000 - £50,000 DOE Reporting to: Creative Leadership Team Company: Without is a strategic branding agency for tomorrow s lifestyles Pedigree: Founded 2006 Multi Award Winning Culture: Intelligence, Entrepreneurialism & Kindness Clients include: Third Space, The Thinking Traveller, Breadstall, Wahaca, Rosa s Thai, Kelly Loves, Peligoni Your expertise: Brand Experience, Motion Design, Campaign Design, Film, Creative Production, Experience Design, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite Why we re here: Without is a strategic branding agency building tomorrow s lifestyle brands. Founded on the belief that when a brand becomes part of people s lives, it should make life brighter, healthier and more rewarding, we help ambitious organisations create meaningful connections with the people they serve. Our work has been recognised through multiple design effectiveness awards, but our ambition remains firmly fixed on what comes next. We re building brands for tomorrow s lifestyles. And we need people who want to help shape that future. Our beliefs: 1. Without preconceptions: our team must challenge the accepted. 2. Without ego: we accept & give criticism generously, for the good of the project/results. 3. Without limits: we go beyond what's expected and imagine new ways to create results. Why you're here: This isn't a traditional graphic design role. And it probably isn't the right role for someone who simply wants to create identities and hand them over. You'll sit at the intersection of brand, creativity and experience. Your role is to ensure great ideas don't stay as ideas. You'll take strategic thinking, creative concepts and brand identities and transform them into campaigns, content, motion, film, experiences and real-world applications. You'll collaborate closely with strategists, designers, clients, freelancers and production partners to ensure every touchpoint feels coherent, engaging and brilliantly executed. You'll be as comfortable creating work yourself as you are directing others to bring ideas to life. Most importantly, you'll be someone who naturally asks: "How does this come to life?" rather than: "What should it look like?" Where your brilliance will add value: Brand Experience & Campaigns: Transform identities into immersive, engaging and commercially effective experiences across physical and digital channels. Create campaigns and activations that help brands connect more meaningfully with their audiences. Motion, Film & Storytelling: Bring ideas to life through motion, film, presentations, social content and visual storytelling. Create compelling narrative-led experiences that communicate strategy through creativity. Creative Production & Delivery: Lead the execution of complex creative projects, collaborating with freelancers, suppliers and production partners while maintaining exceptional standards of craft and consistency. Innovation & Exploration: Explore emerging technologies, creative tools and new applications that help clients stay ahead of the curve and create more meaningful experiences. You'll Thrive in This Role If You've spent several years creating work within a branding, creative, design or experience agency environment and understand how brands move from strategy into the real world. You're a multi-disciplinary creative with strong design fundamentals and experience across motion, campaigns, content, film, activation or experience design. You enjoy both concept development and execution, and take pride in seeing ideas through from initial thinking to final delivery. You're confident collaborating with clients, creative teams and production partners, and can balance creativity with practical delivery. You're curious about emerging technologies, AI and new creative possibilities, and actively explore how they can enhance the work. Most importantly, you're proactive, collaborative and excited by the challenge of turning ideas into experiences people genuinely connect with. What Success Looks Like • Brand identities that successfully come to life across multiple channels and touchpoints. • Campaigns, experiences and activations that create meaningful audience engagement. • Exceptional creative output delivered on time and to a consistently high standard. • Strong relationships with clients, collaborators and production partners. • A reputation within the studio for bringing energy, imagination and executional excellence to every project. Why join Without? You may currently be a Brand Experience Designer, Motion Designer, Creative Producer or Multi-Disciplinary Designer. You've mastered the fundamentals. Now you're looking for more variety. More ownership. More influence. A place where you can shape ideas earlier, work closely with clients and see your creativity live in the real world. Travel. Hospitality. Wellbeing. Experiences. The kind of brands people genuinely care about. If that sounds like the next chapter you're looking for, let's talk. Application notice We take your privacy seriously. As you might expect you may be contacted by email, text or telephone. Your data is processed by our talent partner RR (Recruitment Revolution) on the basis of their legitimate interests in fulfilling the recruitment process.
