• Energy, a sense of humor and an open & curious mind (yes, these things really do matter)
• Exceptional conceptual and design skills and a robust portfolio that shows your talent in all things digital (extra points for experience in—and love for—the always-changing landscape of social media, e.g. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Snapchat)
• Strong experience on large cross-channel and/or direct-marketing initiatives across media, both online and off
• Strong expertise in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, in-depth understanding of HTML/dHTML and Web browser capabilities, and 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 four-year degree, plus two to four years of art direction and strong digital design work experience

• A knack for strategic brainstorming, campaign development, creative brief development and creative execution
