  7. General office-related tasks (light phones, filing, trafficking artwork, meeting/travel planning, etc.)
About Our Company We are a very small direct marketing design and copy studio located in DUMBO (for those who don't know, DUMBO is a vibrant, creative community in Brooklyn that's one stop from Manhattan). We currently work with the Subscription Marketing departments of publishing companies to create materials that either obtain or keep readers and we're actively looking to expand into other industries (non-profits, for one). The bulk of our work is digital but there is also a heavy print component (figure a 75/25 mix).

We recognize that great ideas can come from anywhere and we foster a creative environment where such ideas are expected, encouraged, welcomed, and utilized. The right candidate will be limited only by their ability and their desire to grow.
