Design for Good - Drive Positive Impact through Design

One Bite Design Studio is an architecture-based multidisciplinary design company dedicated to creating positive impact through design. Headquartered in Hong Kong with a growing presence in London, our community of architects, designers, community outreach managers and event managers, strives to bridge the gaps between space, place and our society by constantly exploring the synergies among our stakeholders. Our agile team composition, leading role in the local co-creation scene and the pursuit in forward-thinking innovations with research support are our signature. Placemaking is in our DNA and we believe in the co-creative process with our partners and users for the new urban vision. We generate inventive solutions with quick wins, active engagement and workshop facilitation.

Using a user-centred approach, our works, grounded in architecture, urban, culture and social creatives, are articulated with a touch of human sensitivity. We work as three teams, focusing on different goals – onebite DESIGN as initiator, onebite RESEARCH as detective, onebite SOCIAL as advocates.

We are a Certified B Corporation.

onebite is Hong Kong’s first certified B Corp architecture firm. It is more than a delight and honour to join all B Corps across the world, as people using business as a force for good™️.

The certification not only recognises the dedicated work of the team, it also points to the significance and potential of architecture as a catalyst for a better future. Proudly and humbly, we will continue to design to make a difference for our city.

We are committed to serve at least 75% local and independent clients/customers and to purchase at least 50% of core products from independent suppliers local to where the company operates.

What we do

Urban Storyteller

Placemaking extends beyond design. A story that touches hearts and spark ideas can rally a community to improve the environment they live in. We believe in the power of data-driven stories, supported by in-depth social research and innovative urban analytics tools to make positive impact. For us, surveys and figures are not cold and boring; in fact, they represent collective opinions and group behaviour that help us make sense of the communities we engage and design for.

Areas: GUTS, Historical and Social Research, Place Assessment, Urban Data Analytics

The Joy of B

B stands for many things. It's part of our philosophy to bite a slice of life. It also represents onebite's commitment as Hong Kong's first B Corp-certified design studio. It also refers to onebite's analogy of placemaking as the 6 steps of Bread Making. Most of all, it is our commitment to better design practices dedicated to making equitable, thriving and healthy environments.

    Role Overview: 

    We are looking for a versatile and proactive Marketing Strategist to join our team on a part-time basis. You will work with the Senior Marketing Manager to act as the bridge between our creative work and our audience, driving brand visibility through digital and physical channels. This is a hybrid role for a "doer-thinker" who can devise high-level strategies for social media and events, but is also ready to roll up their sleeves to execute them and analyse the results. You will also play a key role in supporting our growth by assisting with business development initiatives.

    1. Social Media Strategy & Implementation 

    ● Develop and execute a cohesive social media strategy across key platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) that aligns with onebite’s brand voice. 

    ● Manage the content calendar: brainstorm, draft copy, and coordinate visual assets for regular posting. 

    ● Engage with our online community to foster conversation that aligns with our digital marketing directions. 

    2. Brand Reputation, Awards & Achievements 

    ● Manage Awards Applications: Lead the full process of award submissions, from researching relevant opportunities to drafting narratives and coordinating with design teams for asset collation. 

    ● Review Marketing Achievements: Maintain an up-to-date record of the firm's marketing milestones, press features, and award wins to ensure credentials remain current. 

    ● Assist in updating the website and internal databases with these achievements to support business development efforts. 

    3. Offline Event Strategy & Management 

    ● Collaborate with the teams to conceptualise offline events (seminars, webinars, and community gatherings) that amplify our projects and brand presence. 

    ● Assist with on-site implementation and logistics to ensure smooth event delivery. 

    4. Performance Evaluation & Analytics 

    ● Track, analyse, and report on the performance of marketing campaigns and social media efforts on a monthly basis.

    ● Assist in preparing pitch decks, credential presentations, and case studies. 

    ● Research market trends and competitor activities to inform business direction. 

    Requirements: 

    ● Experience: 3+ years of experience in marketing, communications, or a related field. Experience in the Architecture, Design, or Creative Agency sector is highly preferred. 

    ● Skills: ○ Strong copywriting skills (English & Chinese) with an ability to adapt tone for social media vs. formal award submissions. 

    ○ Familiarity with Meta Business Suite. 

    ● Mindset: A strategic thinker who is detail-oriented and organised. You must be comfortable working independently and managing strict deadlines for award submissions. 

    What We Offer:
