You’re reading this so OBVIOUSLY you’re thinking about becoming a punter.

But but but,

Who is a punter?

- A punter is many things, but most importantly, a punter is fearless, experimental, and takes decisions that seem questionable until you see why they did what they did.

- A punter lives by the words of Neil Gaimann:

“Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t positive enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, do it.”

- A punter lovessss to share food and credit with equal gusto, because they know there’s enough space for everyone to grow unto themselves.

- A punter has work mode, party mode, stare-at-the-ceiling-and-think-about-existence mode, but also solution mode. They look at problems like harmless insects and find a way to solve them by making the wise decision, not the right one.

- Finally, a punter is someone who looks at things upside down and downside up to think of ideas.

Position: Junior Art Director

Location - Andheri W, Mumbai

Here's what we hope you can do

- Every medium is different, every canvas has its own rules, and we want someone who knows how to play by them and break them in equal measure.
- Translate briefs into visual worlds that go beyond the ask. Moodboards that actually have a mood. Layouts that breathe. The brief is the starting point,



not the ceiling.
- Build ideas with the copy team. You won’t find us saying "here's the copy, now make it look good."
- Stay relentlessly current on design trends, visual culture, platform behaviour, and whatever the internet decided is cool this week. Then stay one step ahead of all of it.
- Set the standard not by talking about it, but by showing it in the work you bring, the questions you ask, and the ideas you push the team to find.
- Fight hard for the work your team believes in, then, whatever the outcome, accept it with grace and bring something even better to the next brief.
- Work closely with account managers and producers, because great work doesn't happen in a creative vacuum.
- Quality-check everything that leaves your desk, not just for aesthetics, but for effectiveness. A beautiful post that doesn't stop the scroll has failed. Pretty that doesn't pull its weight gets sent back, no matter how pretty it is.
- Adapt your visual thinking across categories, formats, and briefs without ever losing your voice or your standards. A skincare brand and a fintech startup shouldn't look the same, but the rigour, the curiosity, and the craft you bring to both absolutely should.

What we're looking for

- 6 months - 1 year in advertising / design
- A strong portfolio across digital & print
- Multi-category exposure
- Production know-how
