You're an ART DIRECTOR! You were born to create. You’re just as comfortable concepting as you are executing. In fact, you do both wonderfully. Whether it’s turning a TV spot into effective art, building a web experience, or creating social content you’d actually share, your passion and obsession to detail overwhelm every cell in your body. You love a challenge. You know how to solve a multitude of problems, but you don’t have multiple personalities. (You are, as your mom tells her friends, well rounded.) You’ve spent time on pitches, so you don’t move at the speed of sap. But, you also understand craft takes time and that we’ll need you to be somewhere in the middle.

You’re compulsive, risky and reject the status quo. But, you’re not a total pain in the ass. You have a level head, real world experience and the ability to combine these two sides of you to create ideas that make you and your bosses proud. And our client successful. You can quickly adapt to change. You don’t pout when change is needed, but react quickly and professionally instead. We’re primarily interested in a grown up. A friendly smile is a plus.

Your particular set of skills includes:

• Your work examples must prove you’ve solved business problems. (While we expect you to make beautiful things – one of those things must be money for our clients.)
• You are proficient in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator for sure. Flash, HTML/CSS, JAVA a plus but not necessary. 
• You possess all the skills above and have spent years bringing the same out in junior talent you’ve mentored.

You:

• You believe there is no try. There is only do. But, we’ll take a lot of try, to be honest.
• You hustle.
• Your gif game is strong.
• You love cars and are as eager to discuss the future of autonomous driving, as you are to express your disdain for the Pontiac Aztek (or vice versa).
• You can design and for multiple media (i.e. social, ad campaigns, napkins, ambient, guerilla – basically wherever you want to solve our business problems with effective, beautiful solutions).
• You design according to our brand identity and business objectives.
• You are an Art Director, but equally meticulous when it comes to effective written communication.
• You’re not a Writer, but value the importance of the partnership and find inspiration through a tried and true roster of ad blogs and publications to constantly keep you abreast of new approaches and innovation.
• You love the creative process and want to be part of something bigger than you.

You've asked yourself, "Why did I get that ad?".  You're curious about how an advertisement found you, 2 seconds after you spoke to a friend about something similar.  You're a master of all things Tik Tok, Instagram Snapchat, Facebook, and have a knack for how digital and social platforms should advertise. You love working with people, laughing, and having fun!

You're a COPYWRITER... You were born to create. You’re just as comfortable concepting as you are executing. In fact, you do both wonderfully. Whether it’s turning a TV spot into effective art, building a web experience, or creating social content you’d actually share, your passion for creating and obsession to detail overwhelm every cell in your body.

You love a challenge. You have a passion for writing for different audiences, but don’t have multiple personalities. You’ve spent time in an agency, so you don’t move at the speed of sap. But, you also understand craft takes time and that we’ll need you to be somewhere in the middle. You’re compulsive, risky and reject the status quo. But, you’re not a total pain in the ass. (You are, as your mom tells her friends, well rounded.)

You have a level-head, real world experience and the ability to combine these two sides of you to create ideas that wow yourself, your bosses, and make our clients successful. Grammar, spelling and the way you feel about one-word sentences? Cool.

We’re primarily interested in a grown up. A friendly smile is a plus.

• Independent thinking, drive, energy and enthusiasm. You are a team player who takes initiative.
• You have an understanding of marketing fundamentals and can explain the difference between brand and creative strategy.
• You go light on buzzwords.
• You know who Bill Bernbach is, yet …
• … you love the Internet, emerging technologies and are a culture junkie.
• You have high Reddit karma, or at least understand the value in doing so.
• You’ve ordered a pizza with an emoji, or have a strong opinion on why you shouldn’t.
• You’re proud of and prepared to show examples of the work you’ve done.
• You possess all the skills above and have spent years bringing the same out in junior talent you’ve mentored

You:

• You believe there is no try. There is only do. But, we’ll take lots of try, to be honest.
• You tear words from your soul, not a thesaurus.
• You love six word stories.
• You love working on iconic brands and are as eager to discuss the future of advertising.
• You can write in many different styles and for various media (i.e. social, ad campaigns, napkins, love letters, ambient, guerilla, skywriting – basically wherever you want to put an amazing message).
• You write according to brand tone, voice and objectives.
• You are a meticulous proofreader and will never send your CD work with spelling mistakes, so help you...!
• You’re not an Art Director, but value its importance and find inspiration through a tried and true roster of design blogs and publications to constantly keep you abreast of styles and innovation.
• You have an amazing hobby outside of office, so we all don’t bore each other with our vast knowledge of marketing.
• You love the creative process and want to be part of something bigger than you.
• You are constantly innovating and living life accordingly – more on that when we talk.
