We are Into the Light – a new branding and packaging design agency based in Liverpool and Stockport. We’re a straight-talking bunch of branding and design experts who help consumer goods brands achieve clarity & distinction, stand out from the crowd and deliver commercially.
We offer expertise across brand strategy, innovation, brand design and packaging design. Despite our small size, we work on great briefs from big FMCG clients including Premier Foods, Horlicks and Birdseye, as well as smaller challenger brands.
About this role
We’re looking for a North West-based Midweight Designer to join our team. We need someone with strong creative skills, a can-do attitude and a passion for their craft. Packaging design experience is a must.
In this role, you will work on a variety of predominantly Food & Drink brands. Some will be household names and some will be new challenger brands that you’ll play a part in creating. You will have the chance to work on concept development and with strategists as well as crafting beautiful packaging designs. You may also be called on to produce branded visuals for the retail space / shopper marketing purposes.
The role is hybrid with two days in our lovely central Liverpool studio, and 3 at home.
As a Middleweight Designer at Into the Light, you will:
1. Collaborate closely with our senior team to conceptualize and execute creative solutions for our clients.
2. Work hand-in-hand with the technical team at our sister agency Pulse Media to ensure a seamless integration of design & print, delivering a holistic service to our clients.
3. Help to develop the agency brand and marketing assets for digital channels.
What we’re looking for from you
We are seeking a designer looking for the chance to help shape a new studio and will be comfortable with a start-up culture as opposed to a large, established agency. Your portfolio will be strong on pack design and conceptual thinking as well as craft and versatility. You will be the type of person who gets stuck in and is happy to flex between jobs and work in a fast-paced environment. You love to go that extra mile to create brands that really stand out.
