Company Description

Trippant is an award-winning strategic communications partner for businesses at critical moments of change, turning market perception into a commercial advantage. We build the credibility, authority, and visibility that drive growth, not just attention. From global brands such as New Zealand Rugby and Hilton to startups and SMEs, Trippant provides commercial-first communication solutions. With a team of senior experts, Trippant distinguishes itself through its strategic approach and commitment to driving real business outcomes.

Role Description

We’re looking for an experienced freelance graphic designer to partner with us over the next 2 weeks to bring our brand to life in a clear, consistent, and commercially impactful way.

We’ve already done the strategic heavy lifting - including our purpose, vision, values, narrative, and positioning. We’ve also begun applying this across our decks and content.

Now we need a designer to elevate, refine, and unify everything into a polished, professional system we can scale.

Scope of Work

You’ll work closely with us to refine and deliver:

1. Brand Guidelines (Refinement & Codification)

• Typography system (font pairings, hierarchy, weightings)
• Colour palette (primary, secondary, usage rules)
• Layout principles and spacing systems
• Image style and visual direction
• Consistency rules across formats (web, decks, social)

2. Sales / Creds Deck Template

• Clean, high-impact Canva template
• Layout systems for key slides (intro, proposition, case studies, testimonials, etc.)
• Visual storytelling approach aligned to our positioning
• How best to use images
• Guidance on how to present testimonials and proof points

3. Social Media Design System (Primarily LinkedIn)

• Post templates (insight-led, thought leadership, case studies)
• Consistent visual identity for content
• Flexible system we can use in-house

What We’re Looking For

• Strong portfolio demonstrating brand systems (not just one-off visuals)
• Experience working with B2B, consulting, or professional services brands
• Ability to translate strategic positioning into visual clarity
• Attention to detail (typography, spacing, hierarchy really matters here)
• Fast, collaborative, and comfortable working in short iterations

Project Details

• Start: Immediate
• Duration: ~2 weeks
• Engagement: Open to day rate or fixed fee
• Working Style: Collaborative, with a few structured feedback rounds

How to Apply

Please share:

• Your portfolio (with relevant brand / deck examples)
• Your availability and preferred pricing structure (day rate or fixed)
• Feel free to call out how you'd approach this work (though not essential)

Context

We’re at ~75% completion on brand and repositioning. This role is about taking that foundation and bringing it together into something cohesive, elevated, and ready to scale across all touchpoints.

If you’re someone who enjoys turning strong thinking into sharp, usable design systems - we’d love to hear from you.

Qualifications

• Expertise in Graphic Design
• Experience in branding and corporate collateral design
• Strong skills in typography and composition
• Ability to meet deadlines whilst showcasing attention to detail
• Experience with digital and social media assets design is a bonus
