About Social Chameleon
Social Chameleon is an independent, social-first agency built for brands that refuse to stand still. Five disciplines under one roof, social, paid, influencer, creative, and search, woven together so every brief moves faster and lands sharper.
We don't chase algorithms. We read culture at the source and move before the market is ready. It's how we've become Social Media Agency of the Year (twice), Digital Agency of the Year, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 team, with 20+ awards and counting. We work with international brands across consumer tech, automotive, tools and hardware, travel and hospitality, and agriculture, from offices in London and Sydney.
We're building a bench of trusted freelancers to support a growing slate of project work. This is one of several briefs we're hiring for over the coming weeks, so urgent availability is a must!
The Brief
We need a hands-on Motion Graphics Designer to help deliver motion-led content across organic and paid social, as well as campaign work. You'll work alongside our Creative team and close to social, strategy, and account, turning ideas into platform-native content that is polished, on brand, and built to perform.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This suits a designer who already knows how motion behaves on social, works quickly without dropping craft, and can be trusted to deliver with minimal hand-holding.
