About the Role
We're looking for a talented creative designer to join our Toronto team. This role is built for someone who can translate briefs into polished, compelling visuals across both social media and print/digital design — often for the same client in the same week.
You'll work across a diverse roster of toy and lifestyle brand clients, executing visual assets that bring campaigns to life. Strategy and copy come from our account team; your job is to make it look great and get it out the door.
What You'll Do
Social Media Visuals
• Design platform-native visual assets for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube across multiple client accounts
• Produce videos, story templates, carousels, static posts, and social ad creatives
• Adapt and resize assets across formats and placements to meet platform specifications
• Execute visuals that align with each client's brand guidelines and campaign direction
• Work efficiently to meet content schedules and campaign deadlines across multiple accounts
Graphic Design
• Design promotional posters, event invitations, and digital ads for client campaigns
• Produce media kits, one-pagers, and pitch decks that are visually compelling and on-brand
• Adapt assets across print and digital formats as required
• Maintain visual consistency across multiple client brand identities simultaneously
• Collaborate closely with the PR and account teams to ensure all design work aligns with campaign messaging and objectives
What We're Looking For
Must-Haves
• 1–3 years of experience in social media content creation and graphic design
• A strong portfolio that includes both social media assets and designed print/digital deliverables
• Demonstrated experience creating visuals for consumer brands — particularly in toys, lifestyle, family, or entertainment categories
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and/or Canva Pro, video editing skills using CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or similar tools
• Ability to manage multiple client accounts with competing deadlines without dropping the ball
• Sharp attention to detail
• Comfortable, confident communication style interacting with team and clients
• A strong understanding of social media trends
Nice to Haves
• Very active on social media
• Experience working at an agency
• Motion graphics or basic animation experience
• An understanding of how consumer brands market to parents, families, and lifestyle audiences
• Post-secondary education in graphic design, marketing, communications, or a related field
What We Offer
• Full benefits package
• Summer Fridays
• Hybrid work model — flexibility to work from home and in-office
• Professional development opportunities
• A genuine culture of recognition, advancement, and promotion
• A niche that's genuinely fun: toys, lifestyle brands, kids, families, and entertainment
YOU MUST INCLUDE A PORTFOLIO WITH YOUR APPLICATION.
Only candidates in the Toronto area will be considered, while this is not full time in office, this role is required to do content shoots and access equipment from our Toronto-based studio.
Thank you!
