Freelance Brand & Packaging Designer — Sports, Toys & Games - Creative Genius Needed

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are a fast-growing sports, toys and games company with a huge index of products in the pipeline, and we need a designer who can make every single one of them unforgettable. Our Mission We're obsessed with the moment a customer opens the box. The packaging, the branding, the logo, the colours, the finish: everything should make them think WOW before they've even touched the product. That's the standard, and we're looking for a freelance designer who lives for it. What you'll do You'll take products from concept to shelf-ready, designing packaging, logos, brand identities and product visuals across our sports, toys and games ranges. With a deep pipeline of new products launching, there's a steady stream of exciting, varied work. This isn't a one-off project; it's an ongoing creative partnership for the right person and potentially even full time. Who we're looking for This is the important bit: we want someone with real experience branding for sports, toys or games, or a closely related consumer products space. You understand what makes a kid grab a box off the shelf, what makes a sports product feel premium and energetic, and how to translate a brand's personality into packaging that sells itself. You'll also bring a portfolio full of bold, polished consumer-facing work, including packaging and brand identity projects you're proud of; strong skills across the full identity toolkit: logos, packaging dielines, typography, colour systems and brand guidelines; fluency in Adobe Creative Suite (or equivalent) and experience preparing print-ready artwork; the ability to work independently, hit deadlines and manage multiple products at once; and ideally, experience working with manufacturers on packaging specs, materials and finishes. The details Remote, so you can work from anywhere. Freelance/contract with ongoing work for the right fit, given the size of our product pipeline. Competitive rates based on experience. How to apply Send us your portfolio (this matters more than your CV) with a short note about the sports, toys or games branding work you've done and the project you're most proud of. Applications without relevant consumer product or category experience are unlikely to progress. We really do mean it about the sports/toys/games background. Thank you. Lets build.
