Engagement & Communications Creative (R+)
Kuala Lumpur
R+ is a strategic design and research unit of GDP Architects. Where design, research, and identity intersect, R+ dissects – that is, all the time. Out of a background of cultural nuances and changing statistics, our practice foregrounds the relatable, the relevant, and the real. We bridge gaps with a discourse delivered by multiple means of dialogue; Events. Exhibitions. Publications. And to do it all while being sensitive and clear-cut? That’s an R+ strategy.
R+ is seeking driven individuals to carry out creative engagements that build relationships around ideas. In this role, you will be an integral part of the creative team, translating concepts and narratives into accessible and relevant engagements and participatory experiences for clients, collaborators, communities and the wider public. Working across various communication channels and formats, you will see projects through their full lifecycle-not just at launch.
Unlike a conventional marketing role, this position combines programme coordination, communications strategy and an understanding of curatorial and design concepts to build meaningful relationships and engagement. It is suited to individuals who see marketing and engagement as a pathway towards creative curation.
