Who We Are

Carlberg is an award-winning, creative-led full service branding and advertising agency based in Houston, Texas. Our heritage is built upon more than 50 years of success in the market. We’ve done it all over the years, and collected plenty of accolades along the way. Our clients range from both national to local, and we believe they all deserve effective, best-in-class work.

Who We Are Looking For

Carlberg is seeking a brilliant Senior Art Director with strong and proven conceptual ideas to join our team of creative talent working across all of our clients. You should be able to work independently as well as collaboratively. You should have experience concepting, executing and presenting on an array of client projects.

We’re looking for someone who can do the assignment, then wow us with something no one asked for. You should love the craft of what we do, and be open to seeking out inspiration from others both inside and outside the agency.

You’ll be working on video, print, outdoor, point-of-sale, websites, logos, banner ads, brand decks, pitches, and more… aka, you won’t be bored doing the same thing everyday around here.

What You’ll Do

• Concept and collaborate on integrated campaign ideas and digital tactics for a wide-array of clients with our creative team, while working on multiple projects.
• Create work that helps achieve client goals, but also craft work that is creatively brilliant, measurable, unique and impactful.
• Craft original concepts, execute art based on established voice/tone, and collaborate with the broader team from concept to execution.
• Assist the Creative Director to concept, create, present, and sell work while addressing client needs.
• Collaborate with the account service and media teams.
• Inspire clients and co-workers through good work, good vibes, and good communication.

What You’ll Need

• Current credibility as either an art director, senior art director, or designer with a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in the industry.
• You should be an expert in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and familiar with AfterEffects and Premier. You should also be ready and eager to learn about new technology as it comes online.
• The ability to bring original thinking and concepts to life that are both aesthetically pleasing and hard-working.
• Portfolio with successfully launched client projects and concepts across video, digital, social, and everything in between.
• Ability to handle a fast-paced environment with rapid turnaround times and manage multiple tasks and project details.
• Practiced time management skills and a strong work ethic.
• Preferably live or willing to relocate to Houston.

What We Offer

• Passionate, driven people working together to collaborate on making outstanding work for every project.
• Competitive benefits that include group health coverage options (medical, dental, vision), a generous 401k match (100% dollar-for-dollar match, up to 3% of salary contribution, 50% match up to 5%), 16 company holidays (including being closed from Christmas to NYE) and 3 flex days to spend where you need them. 
• A flexible remote work environment with a 2 days per month goal of working together in-person.
• We’re all about making you as smart and savvy as we can, so if there’s a great conference or class that you’d like to attend, we’re happy to consider it.
