Hotshot Art Director
Job
Full-time
8/14/2018
Chicago Illinois
Chicago, IL

JOB 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 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, he or she believes that concepts are king (but are best presented as killer comps), plays nice with account people, and isn't a friggin' jerk. Did you just think, “OMG, that's me!" If so, don't use “OMG" around us. But do give us a call.
