Art Director
Overview
You are an Art Director who wants the opportunity to do compelling and groundbreaking work that makes a difference in society. Exceptional taste, attention to detail and an obsession to make things look cool are three ways you describe yourself. You have 2 to 3 years of experience under your belt – just enough to know your way around an office dynamic. You love concepting and thinking strategically about a creative idea as much as you love exploring the visual execution. In fact, you don’t just love exploring, you’re obsessed with the way it looks. You can work independently and as a part of a team. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
If this sounds like we’re describing you, keep reading and apply. We’d love to hear from you!

What we expect
Communication through Creative
You have big ideas, but more importantly, you can convey those ideas through beautiful execution. You love coming up with big ideas born out of strategy — never developing flashy creative just to show off, but meaningful creative that has the intended impact with the target audience.
Passion and Insight
You come to every project with creativity and passion but are tempered by a willingness to listen and understand different points of view. You understand the importance of paying attention to the little things — after all, the devil’s in the details!
Hustle and Attention to Detail
