What does a Graphic/Digital Designer do at MO?

At MO you'll be working in a design team headed up by our creative director with over 12 years of experience. You will also be working hand in hand with our art director.

We are predominately a digital agency, and 80% of your work will end up in the digital medium. We're one of the top digital branding agencies in the country working on some well-known companies.

But, we don't do FMCG goods, so you won't be working on consumer brands. We focus the corporate world, tech and fintech. Think Investec, EasyEquities, iKhokha, StudentHub... But pop over to our client list or check out our 2020 showreels.

On an average day, you might design websites, microsites, landing pages, working with and/or creating digital CI's, conceptualising campaigns, online ads, and most importantly interfacing with the rest of the teams.

These teams will include your own team of design pros, as well as our strategy, content, account, operations, and executive teams. The team structure is very flat, and everyone's door is always open for a chat.
