Hello! We are looking for a part-time or ideally full-time UI & UX designer for our Franc app & web and website.

Your main area of focus will be the design (UI & UX) of the Franc app. But you’ll also be working on other areas of design including marketing material, social media, branding, the Franc website etc. 99% of the designs are in Sketch, so you’ll need to be very familiar with it so you can hit the ground running.

You don’t need to code, but you should have an understanding of, or at least thinking of, what’s possible or doable in code when you’re designing.

You will decide on, and maintain the visual direction of all things design at Franc, including the Franc design system.

You must be proficient in UI design as this will be your primary responsibility.

You’re not necessarily a UX designer, but you understand UX and apply it to your UI designs.

Sound like something that is right for you or someone you know? Email [email protected]

We are busy working on an interesting LinkedIn campaign with Consumer Rock International who has some great insights to share.

The death of brand loyalty is changing the world of consumer
goods. SA shoppers are more predisposed to brand
switching than ever before. The next generation of consumers
are far more fickle, experimental and granular than those
that went before.

In-depth market research reveals:
41% of consumers are more likely to try new brands.
Millennials have now become mainstream (c.30% of retail).
38% of consumers look for enhanced value.
Private label continues to significantly disrupt the relative
value for money paradigm.

Todays consumers demand greater product selection, variety
and relative value than ever before, significantly challenging
FMCG manufacturers innovation rate and capability.

Quality counts more than ever and brands can no longer hide
behind mass media & huge promotions on supermarket
shelves.
