Chicago Casting Calls & Acting Auditions

Snapshot of what we’re looking for

Looking to work on fun brands with fun people? How about being able to see your work out in the world (“hey mom, did you see my work there?”). How do you feel about brainstorming on national programing ideas while still being able to geek out on find details of design?

Our Art Directors are immersed in the heart of our team, working alongside their Copywriter partners and reporting into an Associate Creative Director. In the thick of the work, they’re touching all things, including sketching display ideas, animating social posts and designing all sorts of materials across all classes of trade.

Ideally, this candidate will have had 2-5 years as an Art Director working with well-established brands and has workflow, software and time management basics down. Most importantly, this candidate has a thoughtful perspective and a high level of aesthetic when it comes to the development of the work itself.

The Molson Coors team

As one of the larger clients at Arc, the Molson Coors team is alive with activity, highly collaborative and ripe with opportunities. Sure, some of the work is nitty gritty, but we’re constantly doing fun work that can give you (and your portfolio) a buzz.

As Molson Coors’ commerce partner, our ideas are showing up everywhere beer is sold. Grocery and convenience stores, restaurants, pubs, sporting events (hello football lovers!), concerts and more. We’re continuously working on national creative, local activations and projects to support our sport team alliances.

Some of the brands we work with include Miller Lite, Coors Light, Miller High Life, Blue Moon, Peroni, Leinenkugel, Keystone Light, Topo Chico and a handful more.

Short-list of what you’ll do

• Develop concepts and ideas to deliver on the strategies provided
• Bring selected concepts to life across a spectrum of materials — thoughtfully, no cut and paste here
• Ideate, originate, sketch and build creative work
• Be open to mentorship and hands-on contributors
• Participate in building presentation decks
• Collaborate with copywriter counterparts and cross-discipline partners

If you do not receive a project interest check email by 1/16/23 and want to be considered, please email [email protected] so we can get you on the list. 

This season, the Chi is a NON-MANDATED VACCINE PRODUCTION, which means there is no vaccination requirement.

We will not ask about your vaccination status, BUT if it is your own desire to disclose that information to 4 Star Casting and Health & Safety, you are welcome to do so. Please keep in mind, MASKS are going to be required at ALL TIMES unless filming or eating/drinking, social distancing is going to be recommended as much as possible, and you will still have to follow ALL Covid protocols this show asks.

Your photos must be in good lighting, from straight on, with no sunglasses, no selfies, using no filters. Please upload BOTH a FULL BODY shot and a FACE shot that accurately depict your current look. To be extra sure it is your CURRENT look, you may consider holding a piece of paper with today’s date on it in the photo.  If for some reason you cannot upload current photos to your profile, you can send them to [email protected] and we can help you out. Please try to do it on your own so we are not getting a flood of photos because your message may be missed. If you are sending to us, ONLY send if you cannot upload.

MINORS 17 AND UNDER are required to upload the Parent/Legal Guardian Data Collection Parental Verification and Consent affidavit (which is a new legal document, and not the parental form required to obtain the work permit) to their profiles. This can also be found on the minors section of our website. The PARENT AFFIDAVIT MUST be uploaded as a pdf. If you do not upload the forms (work permit, proof of age, and parent affidavit) in the required format, then your child’s profile will hover in an uncompleted, pending application and they will not be considered as eligible for the show.
