ABOUT THE KITCHEN
What is The Kitchen?
The Kitchen is an agile team of brand-building creatives, strategists, designers, producers, content creators, business management team, and social media managers working together to deliver remarkable ideas across a range of mediums. What makes us unique is the way we work: sometimes we’re working on our brands’ biggest briefs, and sometimes we create our own briefs from the opportunities that arise from culture and current events. We leverage our unique position as an agency built inside Kraft Heinz to make work that’s only possible with agility and quick collaboration with brands.
POSITION SUMMARY
This Creative team is made up of two dedicated partners whose out-of-the-box ideas and delivery are on the same wavelength and in constant sync. This pair will create a wide range of ideas and creative concepts that stand out and earn attention. The work will range from brand acts that create conversations, to advertising across a range of mediums, to compelling visual stories that stand out on social platforms. This duo will be a key part of a creative process that makes ideas, acts, and experiences that get shared and talked about on social and in the press. Together, you and the team are building a design culture that moves food marketing forward.

You’ll partner with producers to make sure that a wide variety of content is captured and edited in a way that fits the iconic brands you represent. You’ll need a strong understanding of the best-practice design principles for Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, but you’ll also need to be comfortable breaking them with innovation that captures attention in new ways. Your experience in traditional mediums will help you raise the quality of work for social but also work at a pace that fits the dynamic needs of the digital environment. You’ll use your unique skillset and trained eye to inspire the design team around you.
As a team, your work will make a meaningful impact with a multi-talented team in North America (Toronto & Chicago) that blurs the lines of what advertising can be in today’s always-on, socially connected industry.
