Social Media Templates & Graphics

We're seeking a creative graphic designer to develop a comprehensive suite of branded templates specifically for our Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook presence. Specifically, we need:

Post templates: 8-10 Instagram post templates for different content types (event announcements, adoption success stories, comedian spotlights, behind-the-scenes, quotes/testimonials, fundraising milestones)
Story templates: 5-7 Instagram/Facebook Story templates for quick updates, polls, countdown stickers, and engagement prompts
Profile graphics: Highlight covers for Instagram, banner images for Facebook
Platform-specific assets: TikTok text overlay templates, Facebook event cover images
Promotional graphics: Templates for ticket sales, special events, and limited-time offers
Branded elements: Design reusable graphic elements (badges, frames, icons) that can be mixed and matched

Canva experience is a plus so templates are easily editable by our team. We'll collaborate 2-5 hours per week to review designs and ensure they align with our brand (informed by our branding review session).

Professional, eye-catching social media graphics are essential to stopping the scroll and converting viewers into supporters.

Your design work will directly drive:

Increased visibility for rescue dogs: Compelling social graphics attract followers and drive engagement, which builds an audience for our fundraising events. More visibility means more people learning about adoption, attending our shows, and supporting rescue (we've raised $30K+ so far)

Showcase for diverse comedians: Branded comedian spotlight templates give professional presentation to the 500+ women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and POC performers we champion. High-quality graphics help these comedians share content on their own pages, expanding both their reach and ours

Efficient, consistent content creation: Templates allow our team (and volunteers) to create professional content quickly and maintain brand consistency as we post daily across multiple platforms and expand to new cities

Your templates will be the visual building blocks that power thousands of social posts, reaching hundreds of thousands of people with the message that comedy and compassion belong together.

We're organized and ready to create immediately:

Brand guidelines: We'll provide refined brand guidelines from our branding review session (or existing brand assets) including logo, colors, fonts, and visual style

Content library: We have hundreds of high-quality photos from our events (happy audiences, adorable dogs, diverse comedians) that you can incorporate into templates

Content calendar: We are developing a social media strategy that defines what types of posts we need, informing template variety

Use case examples: We'll share specific upcoming posts that need graphics so you can create templates for real applications

Quick feedback: Our founder will provide timely reviews to keep the project moving

Platform access: If using Canva, we'll provide account access so templates are immediately usable by our team

Implementation guarantee: Every template you create will be used actively and repeatedly for our social media presence
