At AKQA (part of WPP), we believe in the imaginative application of art and science to create beautiful ideas, products and services. With an entrepreneurial and collaborative approach, we design adaptive digital services and applications that capture the imagination, delivering impressive returns for our clients.

Creatives at AKQA apply artistry and craftsmanship to strategic insight to create and bring to life beautiful ideas that move the world.

In this role you will help concept and produce a digital campaign for a credit card launch, bringing big-brand thinking and a masterful aesthetic to work that will reach a wide audience. This is a brand and campaign role at heart. It calls for a designer who lives in the world of ideas and craft, who can take a smart concept and execute it beautifully across digital channels. This is not a product design role. This is a remote freelance role from August 17 through October 16, 2026.
