Shyam Venkitesh

I’m a Brand & Visual Designer based in Berlin, with 7+ years of experience in agencies, in-house teams and international studios. I work on brand identities, campaigns, interactive advertising, websites and print.
At Factory39, I developed the core concept for Muskita’s identity refresh and extended it to digital, print, OOH, packaging and merchandise. I also worked on Radius Fintech’s rebrand, identity concepts for Hamworthy, campaign creative for bbf and a Shopify website for Kokkinos. I used AI agents for website content and CMS organisation, Figma AI for layouts, and AI tools for design audits, video generation and mockups.

At Glance/Roposo, part of the InMobi Group, I progressed from Senior Designer to Lead Creative Designer in January 2023. I managed six direct reports: two senior designers, two junior designers and two interns. My responsibilities included briefs, concepts, stakeholder presentations, delegation and mentoring, alongside work with product teams on interactive ad formats and creative automation.

During my time at Glance/Roposo, I developed and pitched concepts for campaigns representing over €19M in advertiser spend. I managed creative accounts for brands including Amazon, YouTube, Google, KFC, WhatsApp, Prime Video, Coca-Cola, Cadbury, Airtel, Netflix and Disney+. I headed guidelines and playbooks supporting Glance’s Indonesia launch and work for EMEA and the US, and worked on brand playbooks for Glance and Roposo.

My earlier agency work includes managing four brand accounts at Bubble Network, social creative and shoot direction, packaging and print, BeBold Social’s identity refresh, and work as Assistant Art Director on a GreenChef Appliances TV commercial.

I have a background in painting and sculpture and an MA in Digital Art Direction from Istituto Marangoni, Milan. I’m authorised to work in Germany.
