I worked for Xebia as Junior Designer in the design team within the marketing department. My job was to support the marketing team with visuals for their social media content, articles, blogs, webpages and with print materials such as whitepapers. I also assisted the events team with online banners and the HR-team with email templates and designs. The objective 
was to enhance the internal and external perception of the Xebia brand.

Xebia: organic posts for LinkedIn and visuals for ad campaigns

I’ve created many social media posts for Xebia, within their brand style. For the most part I created these visuals by myself, but sometimes I had input from a colleague. All posts were created within the brand style, which was already established. 

Sometimes Xebia was only a sponsor, so I created the visual in the style of the event, with a Xebia touch (see the bottom row).
