Social Media Designer

Overview

Brand Social Creative (Motion & Design)

Aquent is proud to partner with a pioneering company at the forefront of innovative technology solutions, dedicated to enhancing everyday living through smart, connected experiences. This is an opportunity to significantly impact how we engage with our audience, bringing a fresh, social-first perspective to our global brand presence.

We are looking for a skilled, mid-to-senior digital creative to join our client’s in-house team on a freelance basis. In this role, you will be the primary go-to creative for our smart-home product portfolio, focusing heavily on executing paid social, organic social, and user-generated content (UGC) styles, alongside localized marketing content. This position is ideal for a studio-based designer and editor who excels at co-opting existing brand materials and transforming them into high-performing, social-first assets. We are looking for a “creative,” not a “creator” – your strength lies in the technical craft of design, motion, and editing software, rather than out on location shooting raw footage.

This is temporary Freelance position for 3 months (initially), offering €50,- per hour. Onsite presence in Amsterdam office is mandatory.
