JUNIOR ADVERTISING DESIGNER (FREELANCE TO PERM)

As an Advertising Designer you will work with every branch of the agency to create advertising materials across all media for a select number of accounts. You must be a highly effective multi-tasker with a sophisticated design sense and a broad base of technical knowledge, including strong Photoshop and InDesign skills. Some motion After Effects experience and a basic knowledge of HTML is a must. In addition to working with your team leader and the Creative Director, you will also work with the Account Team to meet client expectations for content and project deadlines.

A typical day for this designer might be designing a billboard in Times Square, followed by an e-blast, and two motion graphics for the social team — all before lunch. Then, you could spend much of the afternoon designing a full-page quote ad to run in The New York Times with new creative that you came up with by collaborating with the other stakeholders on the account.

To succeed in this role, you must be a good designer who is eager to explore but efficient in execution and you MUST be a team player with a positive outlook. Oh, and it helps if you love theater.
