About the Company

Master of Ceremonies, the team behind Pals and Franky’s, is focused on changing the drinks category through fresh ideas, innovation, and bold creative thinking.

Role Overview

We are seeking a creative, highly organised, and self-directed Graphic Designer to own visual output from early concept through to final delivery across ANZ. This is a strong opportunity for a designer who enjoys building original ideas and turning them into high-quality, impactful work.

The role also requires balancing premium creative standards with fast execution, while using modern tools to improve studio efficiency.

If you want to create meaningful visual impact for two leading New Zealand drinks brands, this role could be a great fit.

Creative Execution and Campaign Delivery

• Design retail point-of-sale materials, display graphics, sales tools, and shopper activations.
• Build new packaging concepts and update existing ranges as needed.
• Support brand and event activations through physical branding and experiential design.
• Design static social assets and simple motion content for digital channels.
• Assist the social team with basic content capture, formatting, and asset creation during shoots or day-to-day production.
• Help develop brand guidelines that clearly define execution standards for internal teams and external partners.

Studio Efficiency and Technology

• Manage your workload proactively to ensure creative work is delivered on time and in full across all projects.
• Run the weekly design approvals process to support smooth sign-off and reduce revision cycles.
• Use 3D tools to speed up visual development and create mock-ups for shopper fixtures and packaging routes.
