Multimedia Designer – Social & Digital

NNC is looking for a Multimedia Designer who can move comfortably between design, motion, editing and content creation.This is not a role for someone who only creates static layouts.We are looking for a visual thinker who understands how content moves, how stories unfold on screen and how design changes across platforms.You should be equally comfortable building a social carousel, animating a key visual, editing a fast-paced Reel, creating motion graphics for a campaign, supporting a live event or working with a creative team to turn an idea into a complete visual execution.You will work closely with Art Directors, designers, copywriters, videographers, filmmakers, editors, social teams and account teams across a wide range of clients and projects.What You’ll DoSocial & Digital DesignDesign platform-native content for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and other digital channels.Create static posts, carousels, Stories, paid social assets, campaign content and digital adaptations.Understand hierarchy, composition, typography, layout and visual storytelling.Adapt creative concepts across multiple sizes and formats without losing the strength of the original idea.Design with the platform and audience in mind rather than simply resizing artwork.Motion DesignCreate motion graphics, animated social content, typography animation, transitions and visual effects.Turn static key visuals into engaging motion executions.Develop visual sequences that support storytelling, pacing and retention.Work with After Effects or equivalent tools to create polished motion content.Understand timing, rhythm, easing and movement rather than applying animation for decoration.Build reusable motion systems and templates where relevant.Video Editing & Social ContentEdit Reels, TikToks, interviews, event content, campaign videos and social-first short-form content.Select the strongest footage and structure edits around a clear story.Understand hooks, pacing, retention and payoff.Work with music, sound, supers, transitions, graphics and footage to create cohesive content.Adapt edits according to platform behaviour and audience expectations.Create multiple versions, cutdowns and format adaptations where required.Content Creation & ProductionWork with videographers, filmmakers, producers and creative teams to develop content from idea to execution.Contribute ideas for how concepts should be shot, animated or edited.Support shot lists, visual references, storyboards and content flows.Attend shoots, events and activations where required.Capture content directly when appropriate using cameras or mobile devices.Identify useful visual moments and content opportunities on the ground.Understand how what is captured during production will ultimately work in the edit.Live Events & Real-Time ContentNNC works across major events, conferences, cultural platforms and public-facing experiences.You may be expected to:Work on-site with social and production teams.Produce fast-turnaround visual content during live events.Edit and deliver Reels, Stories, interviews and highlight content under tight deadlines.Adapt quickly when schedules, speakers or content priorities change.Work with copywriters and social teams to identify the strongest story or moment.Maintain quality and brand consistency even when turnaround times are short.Speed matters.But speed should never mean careless work.Visual Concept DevelopmentParticipate in brainstorming sessions and creative development.Translate campaign ideas into visual directions.Develop moodboards, styleframes, visual references and motion approaches.Work closely with Art Directors and Copywriters to strengthen ideas before execution.Suggest visual solutions rather than waiting for detailed instructions.Understand the difference between a reference and an original creative direction.Brand & CraftMaintain visual consistency across client accounts.Work within established brand systems while knowing when a campaign needs a fresh visual approach.Demonstrate strong typography, composition, colour, imagery and visual hierarchy.Ensure final deliverables are technically correct and ready for publishing or production.Pay close attention to details such as alignment, spacing, safe zones, subtitles, supers and export quality.Review your own work critically before submission.AI & Emerging Creative ToolsWe expect our creative team to understand how emerging tools can improve the work.You should be comfortable using tools such as:Adobe FireflyMidjourneyChatGPTRunwayKlingVeoFluxor comparable creative AI platformsYou will be expected to:Use AI for visual exploration, image generation, storyboarding, ideation and production support.Write and refine prompts.Evaluate AI-generated outputs critically.Recognise when outputs look generic, inconsistent or visually weak.Refine AI-generated material through traditional design and production tools.Maintain consistency in characters, environments, lighting and visual language where required.Understand copyright, likeness, confidentiality and brand-safety considerations.Know when AI adds value and when traditional design or production is the better solution.AI should expand your creative possibilities.
