Period: January – June 2026
Type: Part-time freelance assignment, with potential extension
Vacancy deadline: January 5th, 2026
Amsterdam Fringe Festival is the stage for boundary-breaking artists and untamed stories. For eleven electrifying days, we turn the city upside down with theatre, dance, performance, storytelling, circus, and everything in between—or beyond. Expect the unexpected. We thrive on boldness, experimentation, and radical openness—and our campaigns embody that spirit.
For our 2026 edition, we’re not looking for a traditional graphic designer.
We want a Campaign Designer: a creative mind who thinks conceptually and delivers visually. Someone who can translate the festival’s energy into a visual language that provokes, excites, and seduces—across both digital and physical platforms.
What you’ll do
- Develop the campaign image for the festival in 2026 that captures the essence of Amsterdam Fringe and the theme.
- Take artistic ownership of the entire creative process, from concept to rollout.
- Collaborate closely with the Fringe team on:
- Crafting a concept and visual identity that resonates with artists and audiences;
- Shaping the campaign slogan and tone of voice;
- Casting and producing shoots together with the Fringe marketing team;
- Designing online and offline assets;
- Join approx. 5–6 brainstorming sessions between January and June (some online and some live in Amsterdam)
Who you are
- Experienced in designing campaigns for cultural festivals, theatre companies, or creative projects.
- Conceptually strong, with a distinctive style that can align with Fringe’s brand DNA.
- Capable of carrying both artistic vision and practical execution.
- A collaborative spirit who also thrives independently.
Budget
A total budget is available for the design process, which we will explain to you in the first meeting.
How to apply
Send your portfolio, website, and a short motivation before the 5th of January 2026 to farnoosh@amsterdamfringe.nl, addressed to Artistic Director Farnoosh Farnia. The first round of interviews will take place on Monday January 12 or Tuesday January 13.
Tell us:
- Who you are
- Why your style fits Fringe
- How you would approach a campaign that captures our untamed energy
We can’t wait to see your vision!
