About us
Brands&People is a brand-centric company focused on mobilizing commercial brands in Latin America. We steer, innovate, communicate, and maximize brands to accelerate growth. We’re a people-centric company, too. We believe that propelling the creative careers of our staff results in stronger brands for our clients. Our team is an eclectic mix of brand leaders, creative directors, designers, copywriters, media executives, and brand managers, headed by French strategist Emmanuel Moreau and Mexican designer Gerardo Ortiz.
About you
In this role, your primary focus is to create visual content for our Brands. Your question every morning should be: How can I create value through design and beauty?
You are expected to conceptualize, design, and deploy every design touchpoint for our Brands. You ensure every brand's visual ID is protected and depicted in every small detail. A Designer in our ecosystem is not limited to design. We believe that written expression, as well as creativity and visual appreciation, are human traits. You transform ideas into concepts taking advantage of all of these talents. With your accurate sense of design, your perception of color, balance, and hue, you design unique pieces for digital platforms, printed media, and global brand showcases.
Our Designers out-stand for their creation of extraordinary, original, and passionate content, no matter how small or big the task. You are guided in this quest by your Art Director and work cross-functionally with Creative Directors, Copywriters, Digital Planners, Community Managers, Brand Executives, Brand Manager, and/or Brand Leaders. People will seek out for you when they need a keen eye, a creative mind, and a doer that is capable of materializing their Brand's essence through design aesthetics.
Design Principles
Our stand on design: We articulate design with two main ingredients: functionality and aesthetics. By mixing both in the precise concentrations, we respond to abstract needs with concrete solutions. Solutions that beyond useful, are beautiful. We design from the user's perspective. We always bare the big picture in mind and take care meticulously of every small detail. We design to provoke sensations, evoque emotions, clarify experiences, and favor in this way, the interaction at every touch point. We love our craft.
