About Ogilvy

About the Role  

A Designer should have an good grasp of visual design behavior and craftsmanship. The Designer is a critical player in bringing master campaigns to life across the final touchpoints of the consumer journey. They should have a solid grasp of visual design behavior, craftsmanship, and proficiency in mainstream design software. The successful candidate will be fully embedded with our client's team and will be on-site at client’s office thrice a week. You will act as Ogilvy’s on-the-ground creative ambassador, handling high-volume adaptation and shopper design requirements directly aligned with the client's daily operational needs, while remaining a core part of Team Ogilvy/WPP. A Designer in this role focuses heavily on the adaptation and rollout of visual design outputs, specializing in Shopper Marketing, Point-of-Sale Materials (POSM), e-commerce assets, and localized brand cascades. The ideal person is highly detail-oriented, possesses a strong sense of collaboration, and understands crucial brand standards required to maintain a consistent design aesthetic. He/she must be able to multitask various adaptation projects and formats while maintaining a gold-standard quality of output. Experience in shopper marketing is a strong advantage, but a rigorous eye for design adaptation is the primary requirement.

What You’ll Do

Brand Execution & Guardianship

• Deeply understand the Client's brand guidelines, visual identity, and specific layout requirements.
• Act as a meticulous guardian of brand consistency when adapting global or regional toolkits for local use or specific retail channels.

Brief Comprehension & Application

• Thoroughly read and understand daily creative briefs, specifically looking out for shopper path-to-purchase and channel-specific requirements (retail, e-commerce, digital).
• Understand the technical specifications, structural realities, and limitations of the formats being designed (e.g., printed POSM vs. digital banners).

Design & Adaptation Craft

• Under the guidance of senior creatives and client stakeholders, adapt and produce high-quality materials, translating master Key Visuals (KVs) into various formats, sizes, and specs.
• Complete the daily design and adaptation work independently, accurately, and at speed in an embedded environment.
• Demonstrate strong time management skills to handle high-volume adaptations and meet tight client deadlines.
• Maintain strict attention to detail in typography, color-matching, layout adjustments, and image resizing.
• Note: Prior experience in Shopper Marketing (understanding retail environments, gondolas, endcaps, shelf-talkers) is a plus, but a willingness to learn is required.

Collaboration & Professionalism

• Be passionate about design craft; take pride in ensuring even the smallest adaptations meet both the client's expectations and the Ogilvy standard of excellence.
• Collaborate seamlessly with Final Art/DTP and production teams (both agency and client-side) to ensure files are print-ready and technically sound.
• Manage stress and prioritize tasks effectively in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
• Be a professional ambassador for Ogilvy/Team WPP while on-site—be humble, respectful, and communicative to create a highly functional working environment.
• Abide by the WPP Code of Business Conduct.

What You’ll Need 

• Experience: At least 2 years of professional experience in graphic design or creative production, preferably within an advertising agency, in-house design team, or printing studio.
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced skills in industry-standard design software (Adobe Creative Cloud: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign). Familiarity with 3D rendering basics or structural design for POSM is a strong advantage.
• Production Knowledge: A solid understanding of print production processes, including setting up files with correct bleed, die-lines, CMYK vs. RGB color spaces, and resolution limits.
• Portfolio Strength: A portfolio demonstrating a meticulous eye for detail, strong typography, layout skills, and specific examples of multi-channel campaign rollouts or format adaptations.
• Agility & Temperament: Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. Must be highly organized, capable of multitasking, and comfortable receiving direct, real-time feedback from the client.
