    • Illustrator
    • InDesign
    • Acrobat
What You'll Be Doing
  • Designing advertising campaigns and marketing materials
  • Developing visual territories and creative springboards
  • Creating mood boards, inspiration boards, and concept explorations
  • Translating strategic direction into compelling visual solutions
  • Building client-ready presentations and pitch materials
  • Producing production-ready files and final deliverables
  • Collaborating closely with Creative Directors, writers, strategists, and account teams
Ideal Candidate
  • Strong design craft and attention to detail
  • Comfortable moving between concept development and execution
  • Able to work independently with minimal oversight
  • Experienced presenting and discussing creative work
  • Curious, collaborative, and capable of abstract thinking
  • Able to take a loose strategic direction and quickly turn it into visual possibilities
Portfolio Requirements

Please submit:

  • Portfolio website or PDF
  • 35 examples of advertising campaign work
  • Examples of both conceptual exploration and final execution
  • Brief explanation of your role on each project
