Do you like the rush of putting together pre-sale pitch presentations or RFP submissions partnered with top-notch Digital Strategists and Design teams? Do you swoon over publication design and relish 80+ page documents that flex your typography and image-making skills? Can you transform tables of data into inviting visuals for analysts and CMO’s alike? We want to meet you.

We are a part of the Promotion and Loyalty Solutions arm of Merkle, a dentsu company. Our team was known as HelloWorld before our acquisition by Merkle in 2018. We are looking for a strong typography and presentation-focused designer. Our team is expanding as we continue to collaborate with CXM teams within dentsu.

You must be a strategic, visual storyteller with strong presentation, typography, and data visualization skills. Our high-profile deliverables include concept pitches, consulting/trend reports, infographics, KPI visualizations/dashboards, and product marketing materials highlighting our capabilities and case studies. 

We believe PowerPoint is just as much an empty canvas as InDesign. Setting type in PPT and leveraging a mix of assets built-in Adobe, we create next-level marketing materials that continue to impress our clients and challenge the misnomer that PowerPoint is not for designers. If you agree, we want to hear from you!
