ABOUT MIDNIGHT™ CREATIVE GROUP AND THE BEGINNING
Work as original as the people who create it.
Midnight™ Creative Group is a creative company for cultural advancement with 100+ people across London, Leeds, Amsterdam and New York. We specialise in progressive, culturally-driven solutions for the world’s most ambitious brands. Our group consists of four companies:
- The Beginning – Our anti-consultancy consultancy offering, attacks business challenges in their most embryonic form
- The Midnight Club – Our 360 studio delivers ambitious work for the most progressive clients across Europe and North America
- ZERO – Our full-service production, post-house and talent rep studio closes the loop from concept to consumer.
- Off–Piste – Our creative technology studio and frontier innovation takes brands off the map and into new terrain.
The Beginning takes the creative energy and alternative spirit of The Midnight Club and injects it at a higher altitude — helping clients solve broader business and brand challenges. This includes brand positioning, innovation, new product and service development, communications ecosystems and evolving operating models.
Together we offer one promise – Advancement.
This role is within The Beginning, with opportunities to cross over into different group wide projects.
THE ROLE
The Beginning’s product relies heavily on how our ideas and recommendations are presented and visualised. This is an essential part of how we communicate our thinking and deliver an excellent service to clients.
We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to take ownership of the visual communications across all TB’s output - bringing strong design thinking, editorial sensibility and a contemporary visual approach to the way our work is presented.
You’ll also have the chance to shape and lead branded output for The Beginning, from physical products and editorial projects to cultural stunts and client-facing brand moments.
This is a role for a designer who can move confidently between typography, layout, imagery and brand, and who is excited by the opportunity to help shape how The Beginning looks, feels and behaves.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Shaping and building the visual direction of The Beginning
- Lead the visual design and presentation of The Beginning’s documents, working closely with the wider team to turn strategic thinking into compelling visual narratives.
- Own the design and execution of editorial layouts, presentations and other visual communications.
- Work closely with our Strategists to shape and develop the work, bringing a strong point of view and design thinking to the process.
- Develop contemporary and progressive approaches to typography, imagery, composition and visual storytelling.
- Help evolve and maintain The Beginning’s visual identity across different touchpoints. This includes a monthly substack that demands bold, provocative and visually compelling stories.
- Work with senior leadership on wider brand output for The Beginning.
- Develop branded products and physical outputs, which could include T-shirts, magazines and branded items for clients.
ABOUT YOU
We’re looking for someone ambitious, curious and entrepreneurial and ready to step up into greater ownership and leadership.
You will likely:
- Have strong experience across editorial design, layouts and visual communications.
- Have a portfolio that demonstrates a strong understanding of typography, composition, imagery and visual storytelling.
- Have experience designing decks where information is structured and presented is as important as the content itself.
- Have experience creating or developing branded products and physical outputs.
- Have a contemporary and progressive visual taste, with a confident approach to the use of imagery and type.
- Be collaborative and comfortable working closely with senior stakeholders.
- Be curious about culture, design and the world around you, and bring fresh references and thinking into your work.
