You'll be confident in responding to briefs with original and interesting ideas, managing your time on projects, working closely and collaboratively with the team around you and be no stranger to tight deadlines.

+ Senior Motion Designer at Defiant Digital - Remote

About the job

Defiant Digital is seeking a Motion Design Lead to join our team. In this role, you will lead our experienced in-house creative team to produce direct response video ads for various social media channels, such as Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube.

You'll be working with some of the most talented creative performance marketers in the industry, who invest millions of dollars monthly in social media advertising.

Our company culture is performance-based and innovative, and we're looking for someone who is up for the challenge and hungry to deliver world class, high converting creatives that grow our clients brands.

Who you are

• You're a natural born storyteller able to craft compelling narratives that HOOK people into your creatives
• You lead by example, setting the bar high with every project you touch and inspiring your team to replicate your excellence in their work.
• Motion & digital design is in your blood, you're constantly pushing the boundaries & learning new techniques to deliver world class work.
• Collaboration comes naturally to you, as you understand the value of keeping projects on track to ensure success.
• You thrive under pressure and remain calm, recognising that tight deadlines are part and parcel of the industry.
• Our company culture is performance-driven, with a focus on delivering results quickly and efficiently, without ever compromising on quality. This is the type of challenge you're seeking in your next role.

If this is you, please read on, as you're precisely the type of unique talent we're looking for.

What are the Key Points?

• Benefits: 100% Remote, Personal Development Budget, Performance Bonuses
• Hours: 9am to 6pm AEST (Performance Culture / Up to 50 Hours Per Week)
• Culture: A small crew of High-Performing, Happy & Humble People (no ego, no assholes, clients first)
• Personality: Obsessed with Details so We can Simplify the Complex for Others

What's the Ideal Candidate's Background?

You have deep experience in a digital agency, performance marketing creative ad agency, or an internal creative department as a senior editor producing direct response video ads for social media channels.

You are an expert with the entire adobe suite. Your creativity and editing have resulted in MILLIONS of digital media spending; you thrive on persuasive storytelling. You were born with the "gut feeling" to utilise GFX, sound design, and brilliant editorial pacing to nail the hook, agitate the problem, and deliver the thought-provoking concept and CTA in a way that compels a viewer to click and buy.

What Will You Be Working On?

Performance-First Editing – We are an ad department vs. a content department. Your #1 priority is to create ads that sell. That means you've got the experience to tell a good story while weaving persuasive elements to capture, encourage, and motivate a customer to act right now. You aren't the type of individual who chooses the first scroll you see on a search; instead, you sweat until you find the sound, image, and textual element that builds the most compelling story.

Creating multiple variations of ads for Media Optimisation – We make variations of the first 2-5 seconds to provide extended reach to new audience groups. You will give new "Thumb-Stops" (or first 2-3 seconds) along with other variations (i.e., cut-downs) for flexible and efficient testing. If an advertisement scales, we will make this a priority. This is the fun part. When this happens, you know your ads are producing substantial revenue for the company.

Always Learning, Always Growing, Always Contributing – Every media channel has its own unique "native" look and feel. You will be expected to understand the nuances of each channel so your ad can hit the highest conversion metrics. (i.e., TikTok is a very different experience than Facebook).

Competitive Research, Customer Persona, and Media Metrics – We are not looking for an assembly-line editor. We want a right-brain/left-brain creative. That means you invest the time to research and emulate our competition and become intimately aware of our customer persona so you can create an empathetic storyline. In addition, we do something most in-house creative teams never do. We teach you how to analyze the media metrics to see where your advertisements are winning and falling short. Based on the data, you will be expected to participate in Media/Creative calls to contribute ideas for enhancing creativity.

What's Defiant's Culture Like?

We are a performance growth agency with a performance culture and have never lost our start-up mentality. We work hard, have no ego, and always put our clients first, no matter what it takes.

Speed to result, collaboration, innovation, and iteration of ideas and concepts are how we produce profitable results, build excellent client relationships and deliver breakthroughs for the brands we work with.

We're constantly training skills and learning new methods to improve performance with a standard rhythm set that allows us to stay aligned, be transparent, eliminate office politics, and produce good vibes and energy.

Requirements

• 5 - 10+ Years Creative Marketing Agency or Internal Creative Department with a focus on paid media (advertising spend)

• Technical Expertise – Complete understanding of post-production workflow. Expert-level experience using Adobe's Full suite, including After Effects - Photoshop. Bonus points for expert level in Cinema4D (or equivalent).

• Organisational Rockstar – You love personal optimisation. This means you will collaborate with the team to make life more efficient, more enjoyable, and more effective through the utilisation of project management software and through tools and applications that can make our virtual experience more streamlined.

• Expert Collaborator - You will ensure projects are on course and communication with our creative coordinator is clear through daily touch points and updating your tasks within our project management software.

• Client Collaborator - This business is 80% communication, and our mission at Defiant is to collaborate, innovate, and iterate ideas and concepts with our clients. We're always thinking about ways to improve our client's business outside our scope.

• Personal Excellence – An ownership mentality, relentless pursuit of excellence, and personal growth.

• Exceptional Communication Skills – A perceptive listener who quickly synthesises info and can formulate a systematic action plan that can be clearly articulated verbally and in writing

• Passion for Personal Growth, Health, and Discipline – An unquenchable thirst to improve your personal growth with an intentional focus on learning and constantly to optimise your daily habits and routines.

To apply please share your resume and a covering letter explaining why you would be an awesome fit for this role at Defiant Digital.

Only applicants that VERY closely match the above criteria will be contacted. We appreciate your understanding.

We look forward to hearing from you!

+ Motion Graphics Designer at The Misfits - Sydney

Well hello there sailor, you're looking at us somewhat seductively… and we like it. Miaow! 

The Misfits is a full service solutions based agency creating brand stories and customer connections. We offer owned channels to market as well as creative, digital and event services.

We also happen to own a couple of the best-known business to business media bands in Australia, namely B&T and Travel Weekly as well as some marquee events like Cannes in Cairns, Changing the Ratio and the B&T Awards.

The majority of the design work will revolve around developing motion graphics, digital inventory, virtual or live event graphics, video editing, digital out of home screens, eDMs and landing pages. 

We're on the hunt for a motion graphics designer looking to join our creative team.

The Misfits employs around 30 staff with editorial, events, sales and creative backgrounds. We have an office dog(s) and a purpose built studio for podcasts and shoots, there's even an edit suite… but let's not brag, it's barely bigger than a family fridge. In fact we even have an office, not that we can use it at the moment. (Thanks COVID).

Office culture and team dynamics are an important part of what make us so successful, but currently we're all working from home. Once we're past this COVID wave then the teams will return to the office, albeit with some level of flexibility. 

Furthermore, we're a great place to work with 91% of the team having spent two years or more with The Misfits, and 67% having spent five years or more in the organisation. The few people that do leave the business use The Misfits as a stepping stone to bigger and (on the face of it) better things such as Nine, Buzzfeed, Tourism Australia, M&C Saatchi and best of all, motherhood.

Things you need to have before applying:

• Some sort of formal design qualification from TAFE or Uni
• Motion graphics, VFX and animation
• Excellent working knowledge of After Effects, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro and Illustrator
• A portfolio of work that's quite frankly, hot

• Photography
• Indesign
