Job Description
Istoria Group’s Event and Exhibition agency, Ignition, is looking for a visionary 2D trailblazer to join our busy studio and take control of all things 2D.
The role is perfect for a creative lead with ambitions to self-develop, help grow our business, and open doors to untapped opportunities. It’s also a prime and rare opportunity to make and shape this department as your own.
One week, you could be putting together slick marketing brochures and tweaking websites; the next week, you would lead the 2D creative for a large-format exhibition programme. There’ll also be ample opportunity to blend pure graphic design work with digital storytelling.
As the lead, you will be responsible for delivering the work and planning the best way to achieve it. You will be able to think commercially and have the experience of knowing when to push it and when to let it slide.
You will collaborate closely with our 3D lead to form a solid creative alliance. You’ll be obsessive about how your 2D designs straddle 3D forms. You’ll be curious about what the digital and marketing teams are up to and will not be shy about rocking the boat when needed.
As part of the senior creative team, you will help guide and mentor others, ensuring all work aligns with the department goals and broader business KPIs.
The role requires someone who can work steadily under pressure, with exceptional attention to detail and strong technical skills. Being a team player is an absolute must!
What you’ll be doing
- Overseeing and managing the quality, accuracy and output of all design documentation, visual communication, and 2D storytelling methodologies and deliverables.
- Designing 2D creative concepts for large-format exhibition panels.
- Presenting 2D concepts and finalised ideas to the creative director, Senior Leadership Team, clients, and other stakeholders.
- Ensuring that all 2D creative delivers on the agreed-upon scope.
- Being the brand ambassador for Ignition, ensuring all documents and external facing material are within the company brand guidelines.
- Championing best-in-class design practices and liaising with all other departments to establish and maintain excellent communication lines
