- Create branded email templates for announcements, HR, leadership, events, invitations, news and engagement campaigns
Video & motion graphics
- Design and edit short-form corporate videos: showreels, product, social, event and leadership videos
- Build a reusable video toolkit: logo animations, intros/outros, lower thirds, title cards, transitions, subtitles and captions
Digital & screen assets
- Design desktop wallpapers, screensavers, office and event screens, digital signage, and meeting/Teams backgrounds
What you'll deliver
A complete Marketing & Brand Design Toolkit, including enhanced brand guidelines, template libraries, social and newsletter systems, email templates, a redesigned portfolio, video and motion assets, an icon and graphic library, and organized master source files with clear folder structure and naming conventions.
