Associate Art Director

Ibm's Watson, Springfield, IL, USA

Pay: $50,000-$55,000/yr

Job type: Full Time


Description—

If you’re the type who jumps on grenades rather than runs from them, if you like drinking from a fire hose, if you look at the world and see typefaces, then maybe you’re just what Two by Four needs.

We’re in the market for a Hotshot Associate Art Director, someone who’ll relish the chance to work on an eclectic roster of clients (often all at the same time). Our ideal candidate thinks conceptually, won’t operate the office Sonos system until given permission, doesn’t discriminate between an e‑blast and tv spot, and enjoys a good office happy hour. Plus, they believe concepts are king (but are best presented as killer comps), play nice with account people, and aren't a friggin’ jerk. If you just thought, “OMG, that’s me!” don’t use “OMG” around us. But do apply.
