WANTED:

Jr. Graphic Designer / Content Creator

We are looking for a Jr. Graphic Designer / Content Creator to help us strategize, create, and coordinate impactful campaigns for new and existing brands we develop. In this hybrid role, you’ll support our design and social media teams by producing visuals and developing engaging content across various platforms. You’ll work closely with our team to create on-brand graphics, collaborate on social media strategies, and contribute to crafting content that tells compelling brand stories.

We’re ANVL, (just call us anvil). We’re a full-service branding and marketing agency obsessed with the idea of ‘brave creative’. Why an anvil? It’s the foundation of solid creative. It allows us to forge brands, create campaigns, build websites, and fashion ideas. We temper bold design with objectivity, technique and a critical eye to ensure that the tools we provide our clients will stand up to the scrutiny of the real world. A tool is made to perform and we ensure our designs exceed expectations for all those we are fortunate enough to work with.

We are a boutique agency with a fast-paced, fast-growing studio with room for our people to learn and grow. Our clients stoke the fires of our passion to mold and shape ideas. We know that’s a bit dramatic, but we really love what we do. Every new project for us isn’t work, it’s just a new problem begging for an elegant solution.

Your Manifesto

You have a passion for visuals and aesthetics you can’t quite explain. You have a “no excuses” attitude when it comes to completing a task, along with attention to detail and follow-through to ensure that it’s done correctly the first time. You can buckle down under the headphones but can also shake it up in group brainstorms—sharing, ideas, laughs, and happy hour.

Finally and maybe most importantly, you aren’t phased by tight deadlines, creative problem-solving, and hard work.

Day to Day

  • Collaborate with the design team to create graphics, layouts, and visuals for social media, websites, and marketing materials.
  • Help to brainstorm and develop new brands from the ground up—helping to write their stories and translate them to a visual design for maximum impact.
  • Planning, coordination, and execution of photo and video shoots while ensuring content is created in the most efficient manner and in the correct formats and sizes for publishing.
  • Organizing content strategies and schedules.
  • Assist in developing and implementing social media strategies to boost brand presence and engagement.
  • Stay up to date with the latest design trends, social media trends, platform updates, and best practices.
  • Constantly feeding your creative mind with new inspiration and growing your skills for yourself and the company.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 2 years experience in graphic design, marketing, or communications-related field, whether at an agency or otherwise.
  • Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite – InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Acrobat.
  • An “eye for design” and a grasp of design principles for print design and production (Typography, Hierarchies, White Space, Visual Balance, etc.).
  • Being a problem solver and collaborating with a team but when necessary having the discipline to hunker down and get the job done on your own.
  • General knowledge about Social Media content creation and its various platforms.
  • Being well organized with keen attention to detail.
  • Having a willingness to grow and learn outside your comfort zone.
  • Leaving your ego at the door.

Would be nice, but don’t beat yourself up:

  • A basic understanding of WordPress CMS and updating WordPress sites.
  • Familiarity with newsletter creation using third-party platforms like Mailchimp.

What We Offer

  • Flexible Health & Dental Benefits.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • A collaborative and dynamic work environment.
  • The chance to make a meaningful impact in a growing company.
