Who We Are

Point B is a branding and digital agency with over 50 years of experience. Though much has changed since we first opened our doors in 1972, branding remains our core competency – the place where we thrive and help our clients thrive as well. We believe the ultimate success of any product or service always comes back to the brand. When our branding work is done, we work just as hard to bring that brand to market with smart strategies and seamless execution. Even then, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. There’s always hot espresso on hand, cold beer in the fridge, quarters in the arcade game, and plenty of fun-loving co-workers to keep things interesting.

Our Art Director should know their way around vendor specifications and be able to build production-ready files with minimal supervision. This person should be an excellent creative proofer with an obsessive eye for detail, able to effectively troubleshoot graphic design challenges small and large.

If well-organized layers, master pages, character & paragraph styles, swatch library files, and golden ratio grids make your heart sing – we want to hear from you.
