About the Role
Kilo Flyers is a boutique events content studio producing high-volume, high-quality design work for event organisers, nightlife promoters, sports bars, music artists, and entertainment brands across Africa and beyond. We work fast, we work bold, and everything we produce is built to stop the scroll and fill the room.

We're looking for a Graphic Designer who lives and breathes event culture. This isn't a generic design role — you'll be producing event posters, lineups, countdown graphics, VIP announcements, and social media assets that need to feel alive, on-brand, and ready for the streets and the 'gram simultaneously. Speed matters here. Quality matters more. You'll need both.

Responsibilities

• Design event posters, flyers, digital banners, and lineup graphics from client briefs — covering everything from underground club nights to large-scale stadium events
• Develop and maintain brand templates for retainer clients, ensuring each new event drops within the established visual identity
• Produce social media assets across all key formats — Instagram feed posts, Stories, Facebook events, and Twitter/X headers — optimised for each platform
• Adapt and localise designs for different markets, venues, and audience demographics while maintaining brand integrity
• Work directly from client-supplied photos, artist images, and venue photography to build polished, print- and digital-ready artwork
• Execute design changes and last-minute updates quickly for retainer clients — because in events, timing is everything
• Build new brand templates from scratch for new clients, encompassing full event identity systems

Requirements

• 3+ years of graphic design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong event, music, nightlife, or sports content — not just general commercial design
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator; you should be fluent, not just functional
• Exceptional typographic instinct — you know how to make a headline hit, a lineup feel premium, and a date stand out
• Strong understanding of how designs perform across both print (large-format banners, flyers) and digital (social, screens) environments
• Ability to work independently under tight, real-world deadlines without sacrificing quality
• Experience working with photography retouching and compositing for artist/event visuals is essential
• Knowledge of Adobe InDesign for print layouts and multi-page event programmes is an advantage

About the Role
This is the most senior creative role at Kilo Flyers. As Creative Director, you'll own the visual identity of the studio and its clients — setting the standard for every poster, motion piece, and brand system that leaves our doors. You're not here to manage from a distance. You'll be actively involved in concept development, quality control, and pushing the team to produce work that genuinely stands out in a saturated events landscape.

Our clients include event organisers running weekly club nights, major concert promoters, sports bars broadcasting Premier League and boxing, and music artists building long-term brand identities. Each one needs a distinct creative voice. Your job is to help define those voices, build systems that scale, and ensure the output always looks intentional — never generic.

Responsibilities

• Own the overall creative direction of Kilo Flyers — establishing visual standards, design language, and quality benchmarks across all output
• Lead concept development for new event brands, campaign identities, and seasonal creative directions for key clients
• Review and approve all design work before client delivery — providing clear, constructive feedback that elevates the work rather than just correcting it
• Build and document brand guidelines, template systems, and creative frameworks that enable the team to produce consistently strong work at speed
• Mentor and develop graphic and motion designers, identifying skill gaps and driving creative growth within the team
• Sit in on client briefings for major accounts, translating vague ideas and mood boards into concrete creative direction
• Stay ahead of visual trends in events, music, nightlife, and sport — and actively introduce fresh references and directions to the team

Requirements

• 2+ years of design experience in a creative lead, senior designer, or creative director role — ideally within events, entertainment, or a related creative industry
• A portfolio that spans event brand identities, campaign visuals, and multi-format content systems — not just one-off poster work
• Deep proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects
• A genuine understanding of what makes events content work — you know the difference between a poster that fills a venue and one that doesn't
• Strong communication and presentation skills; you can sell a creative direction to a client and a sceptical team member in the same breath
• Experience building scalable template systems for high-volume, recurring content is a significant advantage

About the Role
In events, a great poster gets attention. A great motion piece sells tickets. As our Motion Graphic Designer, you'll be responsible for taking static event visuals and turning them into animated content that commands attention on every screen — from a phone in someone's hand to a 4K LED wall at a venue entrance.

You'll work across a wide range of event content: animated social reels for club nights and concerts, motion countdowns for sports bar matchday screens, full 30-second promos for headline shows, and looping digital signage for venues. The work is fast, high-energy, and needs to feel as alive as the events it promotes. You'll know exactly how to make text land, a beat drop hit visually, and a crowd moment feel electric — even before the event happens.

Responsibilities

• Produce animated event promos, artist announcement reels, and social media motion content (15–30 seconds) optimised for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook
• Create matchday motion graphics for sports bars — including fixture announcements, kick-off countdowns, and live score overlays for Premier League, Champions League, boxing, and more
• Animate static event posters and brand templates into motion assets, maintaining visual consistency between still and moving content
• Build reusable, editable motion templates for high-volume retainer clients — enabling fast weekly or nightly content updates
• Produce looping digital signage and screen content for venue environments (entrance screens, backstage displays, sponsor boards)
• Edit and colour-grade short-form video content incorporating artist footage, crowd shots, and event highlights
• Deliver final exports in all required formats — MP4, MOV, GIF, and broadcast-ready specs — on time, every time

Requirements

• 3+ years of motion design experience with a showreel that demonstrates event, music, nightlife, or sports content — generic corporate animation won't cut it here
• Expert proficiency in Adobe After Effects; Premiere Pro for video editing and assembly
• Solid grasp of animation principles — timing, easing, kinetic typography, and rhythm-driven motion that responds to music or energy
• Experience syncing motion to audio and creating content that feels built for a dancefloor, a stadium, or a sports bar
• Ability to work to tight, real-world turnaround expectations in a fast-paced events environment
• Comfortable working from brand templates and existing static designs — you enhance, don't reinvent, unless briefed to
• Knowledge of Cinema 4D, Blender, or DaVinci Resolve is a strong advantage

About the Role
Events don't wait. A club night brief comes in at 10pm for a Friday drop. A boxing promo needs to be live before the press conference ends. A retainer client needs three social updates before the weekend lineup announcement hits. The Traffic Manager is the person who makes sure none of that falls through the cracks.

You'll be the central hub of the Kilo Flyers operation — the person every designer, client, and account manager routes through. You'll intake briefs, check they're complete, assign them to the right people, track their progress, and make sure nothing slips past its deadline. You don't design. But you make great design possible, every single day.

Responsibilities

• Receive, review, and log all incoming client briefs — checking that all required assets (photos, logos, copy, sizes, deadlines) are present before any work begins
• Assign briefs to the appropriate designer or motion artist based on workload, skill set, and turnaround requirements
• Actively monitor all live jobs throughout the day, tracking status in the project management system and flagging any delays before they become problems
• Coordinate revision rounds — collecting client feedback, translating it into clear designer instructions, and managing multiple back-and-forths simultaneously
• Chase missing assets or information from clients promptly, without waiting for designers to be blocked
• Manage the daily and weekly job queue, prioritising urgent event-related work (same-day announcements, last-minute lineup changes, breaking sports fixtures) above standard requests
• Maintain an accurate, up-to-date project management system that gives the whole team clear visibility of what's in progress, what's pending, and what's been delivered

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in a traffic coordinator, production manager, or project management role — within a creative agency, events company, or media production environment
• Exceptional organisational skills with a genuine ability to manage 10–20 simultaneous jobs without losing track of any of them
• Strong, clear written and verbal communication — you need to relay client feedback accurately and give designers direction they can act on immediately
• Proficiency with project management tools such as Asana, Trello, Monday.com, or similar; you'll be expected to own and maintain the system, not just use it
• A calm, solutions-focused mindset under pressure — events industry timelines are non-negotiable and you'll need to thrive in that environment
• Enough understanding of graphic and motion design workflows to know what's a quick fix, what needs a redesign, and how long each realistically takes
• Experience working across multiple client accounts simultaneously in a fast-paced studio setting is essential

About the Role
Kilo Flyers does exceptional work. This role is about making sure the right people know it. As Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for finding, approaching, and converting new clients — specifically across the events, nightlife, sports, and entertainment industries where our work has the most impact.

The events world runs on relationships. You'll need to know how to get in front of a promoter the week before a major show, why a sports bar owner should care about matchday content, and how to turn a single once-off flyer client into a long-term retainer. This is a performance role. You'll be measured on new accounts opened and revenue generated, and rewarded accordingly.

Responsibilities

• Identify and prospect new clients across nightlife and club events, music concerts and festivals, sports bars and viewing venues, boxing and MMA promotions, corporate events, and brand activations
• Make first contact, qualify leads, and move prospects through the pipeline from cold outreach to signed agreement
• Pitch Kilo Flyers' full service offering — event posters, motion content, retainer packages, AI-powered mockup tools, and automated content systems — tailoring the pitch to each client's specific needs
• Build and maintain a healthy, growing pipeline with consistent follow-up and relationship nurturing over weeks and months
• Negotiate retainer and once-off service agreements, working within approved pricing structures
• Represent Kilo Flyers at industry events, venue launches, promoter gatherings, and online communities where potential clients congregate
• Feed market intelligence back to the team — what clients are asking for, what competitors are offering, and where new service opportunities exist
• Work closely with the Traffic Manager and Creative Director to ensure new client expectations are realistic and matched to delivery capacity

Requirements

• 3+ years of sales or business development experience — experience within a creative agency, events production company, media house, or entertainment brand is strongly preferred
• A proven track record of sourcing, pitching, and closing new business — not just managing existing accounts
• An existing network within the events, nightlife, sports, or entertainment industry in your market is a significant advantage
• Confident, persuasive communicator — you're comfortable picking up the phone, sliding into a DM, and walking into a venue to introduce yourself
• Enough understanding of design and content to speak credibly about what we do and why it matters to a client's business
• Self-directed and target-driven — you don't need to be managed, you need to be pointed in the right direction and given the tools to go
• Familiarity with CRM tools or sales pipeline management is an advantage
