The Company

This dynamic and forward-thinking agency specializes in hip-hop, popular culture, and fashion. Beginning their story in the NFT space, their innovative token design forged a path for a wider scope of business, ultimately positioning themselves as an agency with their finger on the heartbeat of design and popular culture. Their work spans across diverse mediums, including digital platforms, merchandise, events, and more. With an extensive client base in the hip-hop scene, they pride themselves on staying ahead of trends and delivering cutting-edge designs that resonate with their audience.

The Role

They are seeking a talented Lead Graphic Artist who is deeply immersed in hip-hop, popular culture, and fashion trends. This role is for a hip-hop expert. This expertise will ideally be developed with professional experiences, working on brands that fall within the hip-hop space. However, it could also be developed by personal experiences, someone who is a true fan of hip-hop, and has an expert understanding of the artists and fashion brands associated with the industry. With that said, it would still require professional Graphic Artist experience, a strong portfolio, and ideally exposure to generating graphics for fashion (Hoodies, Tees etc).

It's an ideal position for someone looking to grow into a Creative Director role, influencing the agency's creative direction and driving innovation in their designs. In time, you will shape the agency's creative vision and lead strategic initiatives across all creative disciplines.
