Description
Do you live, breathe and sleep ideas? We’re looking for a badass crafter of amazing things. You must have a proven ability to work in a high-pressure environment without eradicating all of your weekends. What’s that, you say? A place that actually wants you to have weekends? Like, to yourself? Guilty as charged.
Now, we’re not saying you’ll never have to pull a long shift or sustain yourself on a steady diet of RiNO’s finest pizza. But what we are saying is this: If you live in Colorado, we believe you should actually be able to live in Colorado.
Let’s get to the nitty-gritty.
While you don’t have to be an expert designer, photographer, typographer, illustrator or production artist, you should have a good working knowledge and understanding of all these roles, and be able to demonstrate that you can make good-looking campaign work with a strong design aesthetic.
Above all, as an art director, you should be passionate and have your ego firmly in check. You say you’re a rock star? Go get a record deal.
Still with us? Good. You’ve already shown the ability to look up a word and demonstrate a modicum of humility. Last test. Are you willing to think beyond media platform boundaries to create work that stands out in a competitive market? Great! One more point: BIPOC candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Here’s what we’re looking for:
