Marketing Graphic Designer Job at The Worst Agency in Santa Ana

The Worst Agency is looking for a full-time Marketing Graphic Designer who combines strong visual design with a performance marketing mindset.
We work across paid advertising, social media, websites, email, branding, e-commerce, events, and lead generation. We are not looking for someone who only makes things look good. We want a designer who understands the difference between design that looks good and design built to stop attention, drive clicks, generate leads, and increase sales.
You should have strong visual instincts, excellent design fundamentals, and the ability to work efficiently across multiple clients and industries. You should also be comfortable using Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, performance marketing concepts, and AI-assisted creative workflows in your everyday work.
This is a hands-on, in-office position at our Santa Ana office.

You will work closely with our marketing associates and media buying team.
How We Think About Design

Strong design starts with typography, composition, hierarchy, branding, and visual taste. But our work does not stop when something looks good.
We also want to know:
Did people stop scrolling?
Did they click?
Did they engage?
Did they convert?
Did the creative generate leads or sales?
Which variation performed better?
Why did it perform better?
You do not need to be a media buyer. You do need to be curious about how creative performance connects to metrics such as click-through rate, conversion rate, cost per lead, cost per acquisition, ROAS, engagement, and creative fatigue.
You should be comfortable using campaign performance and feedback to improve future creative.
Key Responsibilities

Design digital advertising, social media, web, email, branding, and marketing assets.
Translate marketing objectives into strong visual concepts.
Create multiple creative variations for testing and campaign optimization.
Collaborate with media buyers and marketers to understand campaign goals and performance.

AI-Assisted Creative Workflows

AI is becoming part of modern creative production, and we expect our designers to embrace it. You should be comfortable experimenting with AI for:
Visual ideation
Background and object creation
Creative variations
Research
Mood boards
Rapid prototyping
We care less about which specific AI platform you already use. We care more about whether you know when AI improves the work, when it does not, and how to integrate it without producing generic creative.
