Multimedia Designer

Cause Effect is hiring a Multimedia Designer in Kuala Lumpur.

We are a creative and digital group in Kuala Lumpur. Our companies have won more than 100 awards across multiple industries, and built brands for clients ranging from global consumer names to regional technology and gaming companies. This seat is our production engine: the person who takes direction and turns it into finished work, week after week, for our retainer clients and for our own brands. We have worked with Lenovo, HSBC, Tencent, and many more.

In our organisation, we are demanding about productivity and we expect people to arrive with potential ideas, not problems.

The role rewards speed, consistency and taste, not committee work and not long creative debates.

In return you get direct access to the people setting the direction, exposure to more diverse campaigns in a year than most designers touch in five, and a group that invests heavily in developing its people.

If what you want is to decide the brand direction yourself, this is not your seat, and we would rather you knew that now.

What you will do

1. Client social media production: design and build the weekly content for our retainer clients, to brief and to schedule.

2. Group and personal brand content: produce content for our own brands and for our senior leadership's personal brands across the digital space.

3. Motion and video: cut short form video, build motion graphics, and turn raw footage into finished social assets.

4. Brand execution: apply and extend existing brand systems across decks, collateral, print and digital, keeping every asset consistent.

5. Artificial intelligence in the workflow: use artificial intelligence tools to raise your own throughput, and bring us the tools and workflows we have not found yet.

6. Freelance coordination: brief and quality check freelance photographers, videographers and designers when the work scales past what one person should carry.

7. Asset management: keep the library organised so work is findable, reusable and not rebuilt from scratch.

What we are looking for

1. Three or more years producing design work in an agency, a brand team or an in house studio.

2. A portfolio that shows finished social content at volume, not only single showpiece projects.

3. Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, and working ability in a video tool such as Premiere Pro, After Effects or CapCut.

4. Evidence that you can work to someone else's direction and improve the result rather than resist it.

5. Real use of artificial intelligence tools in your production, with examples of what you use and what you stopped using.

6. Sharp attention to detail: correct typography, clean alignment, no client facing errors.

7. Written English strong enough to take a brief and ask the right question when it is unclear.

8. You can hold several brands and several deadlines at once without anyone queuing the work for you, and you say so early when a week is over capacity.

9. Someone who is energised by everything they have read so far.

What you will be joining

• A group of companies that has won awards in every industry we have entered, across digital, events, esports and professional services.
• Proper kit and a real budget for the tools you need, including the artificial intelligence tools you want to test.
• A group that gives strong bonuses and increments, including through the COVID period when most did not.

Our culture

• We are direct. You will be told clearly what is working and what is not, and we expect the same from you.
• We teach a great deal, and we expect you to use it.
• We write things down. Briefs, decisions and feedback live in writing, not in someone's memory.
• We move faster than most companies find comfortable.

What to expect from the work

• You will be dropped into live client deadlines on day one.
• Volume is steady and the deadlines are client deadlines, so the work does not wait for inspiration.
• Direction comes from senior leadership and delivery is monitored by management, so you always know what good looks like and when it is due.
• Some weeks are heavier than others, and when they are, we bring in freelance support rather than pretending one person can absorb it.

Pay range

RM4,500 to RM6,500 monthly
