About you
About us
SomeOne is a multi-discipline, full-service brand agency, founded and run by strategic creative minds. Founded in London some 16 years ago by four creatives who all left big agencies, we opened our Sydney doors in 2016 and have since had a privilege to work with some of the most loved brands in the region.
Ideas are our bread and butter. Our clients come from a diverse range of industries and no project is the same. To give you a taste, in the past year we have worked with one of Australia’s most iconic museums and nation’s largest charity, launched a first of its kind beauty co-working space, and are about to launch a new brand for a revolutionary martech startup. We redefine, create or refresh brands big and small – research and strategy, visual and verbal identity design, customer experience, digital and motion design, campaigns and activations. The diversity of our clients helps us keep ideas fresh and minds inspired and ultimately makes us better thinkers and better designers.
Negotiable. Salary will be commensurate with experience;
Opportunity for EOY bonus and training allocation.
