Job Description

Associate Art Director Intern

We are the connected marketing agency, a full-service agency with modern creative & media, data, and technology services all under one roof.

We are connected in the way we think and the way we work. At the heart of our company are great people that we call Unicorns. Our Unicorns are open, bold, and curious and love to solve complex problems for clients in unique ways.

 As an Art Director Intern, your day could include:

• Creating and communicating concepts that intrigue and inspire both your peers and clients — with a smart rationale to back them up.
• Designing comps, storyboards, initial graphic concepts and final deliverables.
• Brainstorming and developing campaigns while working with clients on multiple projects at once.
• Collaborating and partnering with copywriters to ensure that both the copy and the visuals are in perfect sync to make the concept as powerful, vivid and compelling as possible.

Qualifications

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Energy, a sense of humor, and an open and curious mind (yes, these things really do matter).
• Exceptional conceptual and design skills and a robust portfolio that shows your talent in both print and Web.
• Strong experience on large cross-channel and/or direct-marketing initiatives across media, both online and off.
• In-depth understanding of HTML/dHTML and the capabilities of Web browsers, along with strong typographical, motion graphic and interaction design skills, including Flash, Ajax, Flex and emerging platforms.
• A willingness to travel as needed (hey, new places, new faces, new inspiration — right?).
• A knack for strategic brainstorming, campaign development, creative brief development and creative execution.

To be considered, candidates will need to submit a YOUnicorn Brief as part of the application. Briefs should be no more than a 60 second video or 5 slide PowerPoint.
