• Ensure all creative feels elevated, cohesive and aligned to the Upstate Sport visual identity
• Design content with a strong understanding of social trends, digital behaviour and platform best practice
• Continuously explore new creative trends, formats and ideas to keep the brand visually relevant and engaging

WHO YOU ARE

• Strong understanding of digital design, social content and visual storytelling
