We're on the look out for two exceptionally talented graphic designers to join the agency and work across our portfolio of global clients.

One position is for a mid-weight senior graphic designer role and the other for a junior graphic designer.

We have a diverse range of clients including the MailOnline, Metro, CNN, Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff to name a few.  And what do we do for them, you ask? Well, we provide high quality design solutions for web, social media, mobile, tablets and print. You may have heard how we redesigned the MailOnline and it is now the most popular newspaper site in the world. You may also have watched the video of our Smirnoff Experience event with Mark Ronson and Duran Duran. So, yes it's quite a mix here.

For the senior role you must have at least four years design experience and for the junior position you must have at least two years. Both require a BA Hons in Design or equivalent.

Our studio's in the creative heart of Bermondsey, near the Shard and London Bridge so you won't be short of restaurants, bars and coffee shops to choose from. We're struggling to keep up as so many new ones keep opening.

So if you've got a brilliant portfolio and want to work in a highly passionate and creative team, we'd love to hear from you.

The new website for Inspired Gaming has launched following a re-design by Brand42.  

With an ever-increasing and expanding business, Inspired tasked Brand42 with conceptualising a completely new look and feel for their website, to appeal to both corporate customers and consumers. 

The result is the newly launched re-designed site featuring a cool, contemporary 'nighttime' feel, that reflects the nature of the product, whilst highlighting the cutting edge credentials of the brand. This was achieved with the use of bold colours and subtle glow effects on a black background. Copy was developed as a play on the word Inspired, with bold statements, illustrating each of Inspired's unique selling points.  

Mail Online was last week named Consumer Website 2011 at the AOP Digital Publishing Awards.

The site saw off competition from the likes of Guardian.co.uk,  heatworld and FHM, among others to be voted the UK's No.1 website.

VisitBritain has grown its Facebook community by 300% since last autumn. It expects that by engaging with fans in this way it will accelerate that growth even further. The aim is to bring thousands of new fans into the Love UK group - so that they can be inspired by Britain messaging every day - engaging them around the fun events that will take place on Prince William and Kate’s big day.

The Royal Wedding Predictor application will record fans’ predictions and let them invite their friends to share what they think the right answers will be. After making a prediction, fans will be able to see the predictions other people made – their friends, people from the same country and from around the world.

Brand42 are delighted to see such a success since the redesign of Mail Online, as the site leapfrogs Guardian.co.uk and Telegraph.co.uk with a gain of nearly 5m users in June, with 29,373,379 unique users. This is the second highest ever monthly figure for a UK newspaper website, behind only Guardian.co.uk's 29,811,671 unique users in January. Mail Online was up by just over 4.7 million unique users compared with May, a month-on-month jump of 19%. This was an 83% boost over June last year (just after the relaunch of the new Mail Online site designed by Brand42), according to the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations Electronic, published yesterday.
"Obviously we are delighted to have regained the number one spot in terms of monthly unique visitors and we are particularly pleased with the increase in UK traffic. This is the result of steady and consistent growth since the redesign of our site in May 2008," said Martin Clarke, Mail Online publisher.

It is great news that since the launch in May 2008, 12 months on, figures show that UK unique visitors to the Mail Online are up 36.5% and 28.3% for global unique visitors!

Brand42 has won the opportunity following a 6 way design pitch, to redesign Metro.co.uk with the new website set to launch later this year. Jamie Walters, Digital Director of Metro, said:"Our website redevelopment project needs to enable us to increase our rate of traffic and revenue growth over the next three years. Brand42 proposed some very bold and exciting ideas during the pitch phase that we believe will enable to help us achieve our goals and we are extremely excited about working with them to move our digital offering to the next level."
