The Sting Companies — Design — Lijnden, NLAbout the role
At The Sting, everything is built around brands that stand out. Five labels, Daily Aesthetikz, O'bleu Projects, Hallinger, Club Republique and AMY & IVY, create a world where fashion, culture and creativity meet. As Senior Graphic Designer, you give each of these brands its own visual face. From campaigns and branding to social content, in-store communication and window displays, you make sure our brands are recognisable and stick.
You're a key creative force on the team. You develop visual concepts and translate them into strong designs that fit the identity of each brand. You're in the room from the first idea, and you're the one who works the concept through to the last detail. You have a sharp eye for branding, typography, composition and image language, and you know how to make a brand visually distinct. You think beyond a single campaign or asset and help build a consistent visual identity.
You work alongside the Creative Director, marketers, editors, designers and other creative makers. You also give direction and feedback to designers on the team and help push the creative level further. Retail asks for speed, so you combine creativity and quality with tight deadlines and a high production pace. You're conceptually strong, but you get just as much energy from actually making the work.
What you'll do
- Develop campaign concepts and visual campaigns for The Sting and our five brands, from first idea to final execution across online and offline channels
- Build the visual identity and branding of our brands, including logo, typography, colour, image language and graphic style
- Translate the marketing calendar into strong visual communication for social media, e-commerce, campaigns, in-store communication and window displays
- Guard the creative quality and brand consistency of every output and lift concepts to a higher level
- Coach and inspire other designers by giving feedback, thinking along and sharing your knowledge and experience
- Work closely with Marketing, E-commerce and Retail, and liaise with external creative partners such as photographers and producers
- Experiment with new techniques and tools, including motion, 3D and AI, and apply them in relevant ways
What you'll bring
- At least 6 years of relevant experience as a Graphic or Creative Designer, preferably within fashion, retail, a creative agency or a strong consumer brand
- A portfolio that convincingly shows command of both concept and execution, with strong work in branding, campaigns and visual identity
- Excellent feel for typography, composition, image language and graphic design
- A finger on the pulse of fashion and culture, with a feel for trends in music, sport, street culture and lifestyle
- Conceptual strength combined with a hands-on approach, comfortable developing designs from A to Z
- Comfort with short deadlines and a high tempo without compromising on quality
- A strong sparring partner who enjoys making other designers better
- Excellent command of Adobe Creative Cloud, with experience in Figma, Canva, motion, 3D or AI tools as a plus
