Design heavy in a fast-paced environment, with an emphasis on fast food. Projects range from POP and menu design, to digital ads and e-blasts. We’re looking for someone who loves to put on the headphones and crank out layouts, and is able to see projects through without any handholding. When it comes to the big, fun integrated campaigns, all ideas are welcome and everybody pitches in, but there is a steady flow of day-to-day work that needs just as much attention.

You need to be seasoned enough to understand the detailed specs of projects, know what questions to ask when more information is needed, and see the project through to completion. Design skills and knowledge of the Adobe Suite, with emphasis on InDesign, is a must. As is a good attitude. We’ve all been doing this long enough and we know there will be revisions. There will be eod turnarounds. But we handle our business, move on and laugh about it later over a beer. Or a taco. Or both.

This is a boutique agency with great clients and a solid group of down to earth people who are good at what they do.
