Role
Who you are
- For you to think in motion, not just static. You understand pacing, sequencing, sound and storytelling—and can spot the five seconds buried in an hour of footage that could become a great piece of content
- For you to be fluent in the language of social. You're constantly noticing interesting formats, editing techniques and visual ideas and thinking about how they could translate for Blank Street
- For you to make as well as think. You're equally comfortable pulling references for an upcoming shoot, opening Premiere to build a cut, jumping into Photoshop to finish an image, or turning a stack of Polaroids into a social post
- For you to find more in what we make. You can look at the raw material from a campaign, event or shoot and identify creative opportunities beyond the originally briefed deliverables
- For you to move quickly without losing taste. You know when something needs specialist craft and when the better answer is simply to open the file and make it happen
- 4–6 years of experience in brand design, multimedia design, content design or a related creative role
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and Figma. Working knowledge of Adobe After Effects is a plus
- Strong portfolio of work across video editing, image retouching, multimedia content creation, and design
- Strong graphic design fundamentals across typography, composition and image-making
- Experience designing and editing content for Instagram, TikTok and other digital channels
- Experience working across campaign photography and video post-production is a plus
What the job involves
- Blank Street is looking for a multidisciplinary Brand Designer with exceptional video editing skills and a strong eye for design, image-making and social content
- Reporting to the our Global Creative Director
- Pre-Production & Content Development: Partnering with Creative and Marketing before shoots, launches and events to develop content formats, pull references and determine what we need to capture to bring those ideas to life
- Social Content Design: Designing social-first assets including carousels, collages, image treatments, motion assets and other formats that extend our campaigns and brand moments
- Post-Production: Supporting image retouching, compositing and other finishing work internally, while managing selects, retouching notes, feedback rounds and specialist external partners when needed
- Video Editing & Multimedia: Editing video across social, digital and web, from campaign cutdowns and social edits to reactive content and new executions created from existing footage
- Campaign Extension: Scrubbing campaign and event footage to identify great moments and proactively finding new ways to turn what we've captured into content
- Creative Experimentation: Bringing new references, techniques and formats into the team and helping us continually evolve how Blank Street shows up in motion and across social
- Asset Stewardship: Maintaining organized working files and creative assets so our photography and footage can be easily revisited, repurposed and built upon
Our take
More people deserve great coffee and Blank Street strives to make this possible. Blank Street’s formula involves technology enabled, micro-footprint brick-and-mortar spaces which operate at a cheap price meaning they can produce excellent coffee, also, at a reasonable price.
What started as one electric-powered coffee cart in 2020 has expanded to over 90 locations across the US and the UK. Blank Street wants to serve coffee cheaper than Starbucks but tastier than Dunkin’ Donuts – its main competitors – and has done so with automation, specifically Eversys espresso makers that can produce 700 drinks an hour.
The chain has received mighty financing too, including from real estate tycoon Tishman Speyer as well as from General Catalyst Partners and Tiger Global Management. This brand is certainly making its mark as its growth has remained at an impressive rate, especially following its entrance into the thriving coffee shop market in the UK.
