Description
Is your eye for design a perfect 20/20? Does Papyrus or Comic Sans make you physically ill? Can you Photoshop in your sleep, and do you daydream about InDesign?
Golin Dallas is hiring an Art Director. We’re not just talking about someone who makes things look pretty—we’re looking for an excellent brainstormer, concept creator, Creative Suite guru and design aficionado. You’ll collaborate with and inspire creative counterparts and other teams across Golin communities to ensure your brands’ visual voices are not only clear and consistent, but also award-winningly brave.
If you haven’t met Golin, we’re a global PR and digital agency reinventing our industry. Every. Single. Day. Yet we still make time to create award-winning client work and have fun while we’re doing it. Our CEO describes us as, “the nice guys who will kick your @$$” and we’re happy to have earned that reputation thanks to a dynamic team, strong clients and an obsession with shaking up the status quo. It may be cliché to say, but we actually do live by the mantra of ‘work hard, play hard,’ offering unlimited paid time off (yes, you heard that right), enhanced family care, ridiculously good health and wellness benefits and the ability to work from anywhere one day a week.
At Golin Dallas, we’ve cranked up this philosophy to an 11. Our culture is built around happy people who are the best at what we do. You’ll enjoy close collaboration with your teams and clients in our posh new digs in the Galleria. You’ll have extra special perks unique to us like free parking, free onsite gym, laptops for everyone, our Snack Shack with unlimited free food and drinks, free breakfast on Fridays and, of course, our signature yellow Beer Bike.
