Your new company
I am working with a leading UK consumer brand with a significant national presence and a portfolio of household-name brands. The organisation is investing heavily in its brand experience and creative capabilities, offering the opportunity to shape how millions of customers engage with its products and services.
Your new role
As Brand Designer, you will own and evolve the visual identity and design system for a major consumer brand. Working closely with senior creative stakeholders, you'll create brand frameworks, lead visual direction, establish design standards, and act as the guardian of brand consistency across all channels. You'll combine strategic brand thinking with hands-on creative execution, producing high-quality design work while enabling wider teams to deliver on-brand campaigns at scale.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
