Ellen Marime
@ellenmarime
I build scalable brand systems and integrated campaigns across digital, motion, print, and physical brand touchpoints.
What I'm looking for
I’m a multidisciplinary designer and creative lead with around 10 years of experience across branding, digital, social, motion, web, print and campaign design. I love solving problems through visual communication, whether that means building a brand from scratch, developing a campaign, creating content that connects with an audience, or finding a better way for a creative team to work.
At Bob Group, I helped build the company’s visual identity following the merger of Bidorbuy and uAfrica, developing the master brand architecture and identity systems across six brands. I also built and led a multidisciplinary creative team from scratch, introduced video as a new capability, and helped grow Bob Shop’s TikTok audience to 13,000+ followers. My work has also been recognised with a Silver Pendoring and Gold Promax award.
I’m currently working across multiple national brands as a Brand Custodian and multidisciplinary designer, creating work across print, digital, social, motion, OOH and other customer touchpoints.
I’m happiest in environments where I can take ownership, work with ambitious people, solve messy problems and keep learning. I’m particularly interested in creative leadership, brand building, digital experiences and work that has a meaningful impact on the business.
