ART DIRECTOR

Do you love making things beautiful?  Good. 

Does the thought of coming up with the actual idea that needs be made beautiful excite you even more?  Excellent!

If you like sitting around all day and decorating things that people hand to you, this is not the shop for you.  However, if you love coming up with an incredible idea that no one’s seen before that causes an uproar among consumers, AND you enjoy making it look beautiful, you will thrive here like a dog in a tennis ball factory.  Remember – print is dead and dying. (How much time have you spent online this week?  How much time have you spent reading magazines this week?)  We work 80% with web and interactive. 

Our marketing and branding agency is filled with people who love to think, and make things beautiful.  Not to mention we have a line of clients who crave this kind of work.  We need some help around here! We need an Art Director / Thinker / Designer who can jump on board, anywhere from Junior to mid-level.  We’re even open to senior-level talent, if you’re really really good, and your ego can fit through the front door without turning sideways. 

Interested? Please apply here.

We are THE REPUBLIK.
