Tips to Successfully Land This Role
To stand out, your portfolio must demonstrate not just design talent, but your ability to lead visual direction across digital campaigns, especially those involving motion graphics and video. Emphasize projects where you developed a strong visual identity for a brand, led cross-functional creative teams, or created dynamic content that increased engagement.
If you’ve worked with creative tools like Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, or Illustrator to produce polished visual content, make that clear in both your CV and application. Pulse values originality and storytelling, so include examples where your creativity directly influenced campaign performance or brand perception.
Leadership experience matters here. Highlight how you’ve guided junior designers or directed client-facing projects from concept to delivery. If you've ever pitched visual strategies to stakeholders or collaborated closely with marketing teams, be specific about your role and the outcome.
This role is for someone who can think conceptually, deliver artistically, and lead confidently, so make sure every part of your application reflects that.
