Nutcracker is a creative agency working across content creation, social media and websites. Our clients include Chennaiyin FC, Ultimate Table Tennis, Piramal Group, Wockhardt Group and Birla White.

- A strong portfolio. This matters more to us than anything on your CV
- Genuine range as an illustrator, across styles and formats
- Strong command of the Adobe suite, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator

A definite plus

The logistics
