We are looking for Designers to collaborate across some of the most admired creative, technology and consulting agencies in the Nordics — including Bold, NoA | Åkestam Holst, NoA Elevate, NoA Ignite, NoA Connect and NoA Consulting.

As part of the NoA Freelance Network, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of creative, content, brand and digital productions for ambitious clients across industries.

About the freelance network

This is not a traditional freelance listing.

We’re building a long-term ecosystem of trusted freelancers that can quickly be activated across NoA agencies depending on project needs, client opportunities and creative collaborations.

The ambition is simple:

• Build long-term relationships with outstanding freelance talent

• Create a smoother and more scalable way of working across NoA agencies

• Match the right people with the right creative challenges

The setup includes:

• Pre-negotiated hourly rates

• Framework agreements without guaranteed hours

• Flexible collaborations across NoA agencies

• Access to projects across multiple disciplines, brands and clients

The role

As a freelance Designer within NoA, you’ll create visual content and brand experiences across a wide range of touchpoints — from large-scale identity systems to fast-moving digital campaigns and social-first productions.

Depending on the project, you may:

• Develop visual concepts and creative directions

• Design content for digital and social platforms

• Create campaign assets and brand systems

• Build presentations and client-facing material

• Collaborate with strategists, creatives, motion designers and developers

• Translate strategic thinking into impactful visual communication
  

You’ll work across both brand and performance-oriented projects, always balancing creativity, craft and platform understanding.

What we’re looking for

You:

• Have a strong sense of visual craft, typography, composition and systems thinking

• Understand how design needs to adapt across platforms, formats and audiences

• Are comfortable working with digital campaigns and content production

• Have a sharp eye for detail, precision and visual consistency

• Thrive in collaborative and fast-moving creative environments

• Are curious about AI, emerging creative tools and modern workflows
  

Experience within digital product design, UX/UI, motion or social-first production is considered a strong advantage. Agency, design studio or in-house creative experience is highly valued.
