CRAFT Staffs Up After NYC Agency Client Wins Spirits Pitch

CRAFT is recruiting a Freelance Senior Packaging/Product Designer. The role serves an NYC-based creative agency client. That client just won a pitch for a major spirits brand.

The posting comes from Fionn Andrews, listed on LinkedIn, dated July 21, 2026. The listing doesn't name the winning agency or the spirits brand directly. It does specify the discipline: packaging and product design, freelance, senior level.

Packaging hires often follow pitch wins in spirits brand advertising when the scope includes bottle design, label systems, or shelf presence work tied to a launch or relaunch. A senior-level freelance call, rather than a full-time req, points to project-based staffing tied to a specific timeline instead of a permanent build-out.

CRAFT works as a staffing and recruiting partner across creative disciplines, connecting freelance talent with agencies handling active client work. This listing places CRAFT in the middle of a live account transition: a pitch has closed, and the winning shop is now building out the team to execute.

No agency name, brand name, or campaign details were included in the original post. The listing remains live as of the posting date. Additional confirmation on the winning agency or the spirits brand involved would clarify the scope of the assignment.
