About Tug

Tug is an award-winning digital marketing company offering its clients results driven and integrated SEO, Content, PPC, Paid Social, Display, OOH, Audio, Video and CTV campaigns. Tug is looking for a proactive Designer who’s passionate about all things design and videography, bursting with ideas, and ready to make an impact from day one. This role sits within our Content team, but you’ll work closely with SEO, Paid Media, Data and Client Services — so collaboration and communication are key!

You should genuinely love posting and managing socials, experimenting with content, and staying ahead of the latest trends.
