Designer (Contract, Potential for Extension)

Brandgage is a creative agency specializing in digital and interactive experiences for trade shows — from touch-screen apps to immersive games and large-scale branded installations. We’re looking for a designer who’s passionate about creating engaging visuals and has an interest in helping us expand our marketing presence.

This is a 3-month contract position with the potential to transition to full-time based on performance and workload.

About the Role

This is first and foremost a design role — you’ll be supporting our current project load by working alongside our design and development teams. However, we’re also looking for someone who’s excited about the idea of helping shape our outward-facing materials: case studies, social media content, marketing collateral, and portfolio pieces.

In an average day, you might:

• Attend daily check-ins with the design team to review tasks and progress
• Collaborate with developers to prepare and optimize assets for production
• Translate concepts into mockups, wireframes, and storyboards
• Create visuals and layouts for touch-screen experiences, presentations, and games
• Participate in brainstorm sessions for new client activations and proposals
• Help create marketing materials such as social posts, project highlights, and pitch decks when time allows

What We’re Looking For

• Strong design skills with a portfolio that demonstrates creative thinking and attention to detail
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Familiarity with layout and UI tools such as Figma or Sketch
• A strong interest in marketing, content creation, and brand storytelling
• Bonus: experience or curiosity about motion design (After Effects, Blender, or similar)
• Comfortable working on a Mac and collaborating remotely with developers and other designers
• Positive attitude, adaptable to shifting priorities, and eager to learn new things

Why Join Brandgage

You’ll be joining a small but fast-moving team that creates work seen at major conventions and exhibitions across the country. We value collaboration, curiosity, and initiative — and this role offers room to grow creatively while also helping shape the future of our brand.

How to Apply

Please send your resume, cover letter, and portfolio link to careers@brandgage.com.
We’d love to see both project work and any self-initiated or marketing-related design samples that show how you think and create.
