Additional Information

Position Summary Seeking a Bilingual Senior Graphic & Presentation Designer (3-5+ years experience) who truly cares about making every project (no matter how big or small) look its absolute best. As part of the in-house design team, the Sr. Designer, Visual Communications is responsible for a leadership role in the delivery of new business pitch design materials and other design initiatives across the company and its agencies. Are you up for the challenge ? Media agencies are an integral part of the advertising industry, so we work fast to match its lightning pace. Tight deadlines, and quick-turn-arounds aren't out of the ordinary, so our designers need to be dedicated, motivated, and excited about getting the job done-and most importantly, concerned with making it look amazing. I can do that! But... what's a media agency? We're a crucial step in the advertising industry. If clients request the ads, and creative agencies create the ads, media agencies make sure you see the ads. Our media planners strategically plan and purchase media space (tv commercials, social media and digital ads, billboards, really cool brand partnerships, and way more) to target the right people at the right time.
