About ARQ Studios

ARQ Studios is a UK-based creative agency built by cultural insiders. We don't just make content, we build brands that move culture.

From brand identity and creative direction to content production and social execution, we partner with culturally led brands across lifestyle, fashion, beauty, hospitality, food, entertainment and beyond. We work with both globally recognised brands and ambitious emerging businesses ready to build distinctive brands and lead their industries.

We are looking for a talented Graphic Designer to join ARQ Studios as a full-time member of the team. This role will support both ARQ Studios' own creative output and the work we deliver for clients across a range of industries.

You will work closely with our Creative Director and wider creative team to develop thoughtful, visually engaging and strategically led creative work.

Role Overview

Design sits at the centre of this role.

You will contribute to brand identities, campaigns, presentations, packaging, social media content, marketing collateral and wider visual communication across both ARQ Studios and our client projects.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving creative problems, takes ownership of their work and can confidently develop ideas from concept through to final execution.

The ideal candidate combines strong design thinking with excellent attention to detail and enjoys collaborating within a creative team while managing projects independently.

Key Responsibilities

• Design complete brand identity systems including logos, typography, colour systems, visual assets and brand guidelines.
• Create brand strategy presentations and identity decks.
• Develop visual concepts and creative directions for client projects.
• Design packaging concepts and prepare artwork for print production where required.
• Create social media graphics, templates and campaign assets.
• Design presentation decks, brochures, one-pagers and marketing materials.

• Adapt existing brand identities into new formats while maintaining consistency.
• Collaborate closely with the Creative Director, editors, strategists and wider creative team.
• Respond positively to feedback and refine work while maintaining high creative standards.
• Prepare organised final files for both print and digital delivery.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously and consistently meet deadlines.
• Contribute ideas during creative reviews and internal brainstorming sessions.
• Support the continued growth of ARQ Studios' own brand and marketing.
