Our newest product is a high performance, affordable cloud based accounting,sales and HR software for small and medium enterprises in Sierra Leone. This is the first such product of its kind in the country that is geared towards bringing a revolution in the business sector of Sierra Leone. Deliverables: We are looking for a graphic designer to deliver the following: *An overall design theme for the product. *Custom design templates that can be used in the future for designing social media templates *15 posters detailing the use cases for the product, its main features and the customer stories *In short, we need a branding toolkit that can be used for generating future content for our social media pages as well as for our posters. Key Skills: * Good design intuition *An ability to think outside of the box *A passion to work in developing and challenging markets and develop the correct marketing message *The ability to study the product and comparable products in other markets,and to develop insights into how the marketing design should be developed. A successful engagement would consist of the graphic designer being willing to engage in discussions with the project manager to better understand the ground realities as well as the product's features in order to create the marketing designs of the product. Perhaps the biggest learning for a freelancer from this project would be the fact that they would be working in a challenging environment with a startup that has won the 2013 UNDP innovation award for their work of using technology for social change in Sierra Leone. Also, the freelancer would be given a lot of room to think and bring their own design ideas to the product. We are a young team(average age of 25!) and through this opportunity,we are also looking for engaging with a good, skilled graphic designer in the long run.
