Who We Are

Hook is a Creative Production Agency. With a collaborative, maker-centric team, and an emphasis on production-led design, we develop creative campaigns, short-form content, and websites for well known brands.

Our mission is to integrate creative and production to help grow brands faster. But we believe what’s most important are the people who work with us and the experience they have along the way.

WHAT’S A SENIOR DESIGNER AT HOOK?

Senior Designers are both master-level designers and skilled storytellers that use design to bring ideas to life. They are driven experts with a passion for making premium, ground-breaking work and a commitment to fostering the talents of the employees they collaborate with. They are fearless executors that elevate the work into uncharted creative territories without hesitation. They’re fundamentalists when it comes to digital design, but approach projects with rational and innovative mindsets, always mindful of how it looks and how it works.

Senior Designers are ready for hands-on projects at every stage of the life cycle, from brainstorming creative concepts with the project team and developing original campaigns, to participating in client presentations and ensuring deadlines are met, to producing functional prototypes and assets all the way to launch.

Conceptually speaking, Senior Designers have a well established process for concept development including, but not limited to, building visual presentations, storyboards and prototypes to show solutions and context to peers, leadership and clients.

Executionally speaking, Senior Designers at Hook can confidently execute and scale their concepts. They lend expert-level technical skills and knowledge of the digital production process to pixel-perfect client delivery, on time and on spec.
