  • Develop designs for marketing campaigns that can be rolled out across multiple media platforms including web and print for the biggest events in our marketing calendar, including Halloween, World Book Day, and Christmas.

Purpose and objectives of the role:

During my time at Angels Costumes, I have worked across a diverse range of projects as part of a small in-house marketing team, designing elements of digital, print and branding across their three core brands.

Working as part of the marketing team, the Graphic Designer will use a range of skills to produce visual arts that are in keeping with each of the 3 individual brands under Angels Costumes, as well as the parent company. I worked heavily with the adobe suite, specifically Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects, and used StorePro to work with the Buying, Merchandising, and Marketing team.
