Motion Designer

We’re looking for emotion designers…

What we mean to say is, a motion designer who creates films that stir something deep inside of our audiences. Because we can’t see what you see. A quirky love affair between the apple and the paper clip on your desk unfolding as stop-motion animation. A high-octane montage of creative transitions that makes a tech company look genuinely disruptive for once. Edits that’s so refreshingly beautiful, it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Maybe we can dream it, but we can’t quite make it real like you do. So, if you can actually conjurestories we imagine together… If you’re an experienced motion graphics designer and editor who knows how to bring footage to life, we’ll give you the time and resources you need to do work you’re truly proud of.

With all due credit to the edit…

We understand you want to do more than stitch together stock footage. That’s why you’ll begin projects by thinking conceptually, collaborating with other creatives and presenting very different styles of film to clients. Whilst explaining to them what needs to be done to obtain the raw footage you need. Do this, and we promise to invest in you and your department, because more than ever, we have a huge demand for what you do. And we want to do it well.

You won’t be given a day to create a week’s worth of animation. Or dumped with a load of user-generated content, when what you really need is a two-camera shoot. If you say you want to base a concept on a bizarre new trend or exciting example you’ve come across, we’re all ears. You’ll be working for high-profile clients across a diverse range of industries, alongside talented producers, designers and directors. So everything is possible.

Why Blackbridge?

With countless industry awards to our name, we really are pushing the boundaries of employer branding – a constantly growing area of marketing. What we do is every bit as creative and innovative as consumer advertising, but with an added sense of self-worth. Because we aren’t selling sodas; we’re helping people find and build their futures with world-renowned brands like Skyscanner, Siemens and Entain.

Even better, this is what it feels like to be a holistic creative. Building brands from scratch and managing campaigns from end to end. You can’t be content working on one, and only one, client. But you’ll love working here. Nice people usually do. We’re close-knit and know how to enjoy ourselves in and around the creative hub that is Spitalfields, London. And whilst all the perks here are pretty sweet, the most important thing to know is that we’re an employee-owned agency – so you’ll earn a share of our profits after 12-month’s service.

Please include a link to your showreel or folio with your application.
