Intro
Some people love coming up with the big idea. Others love seeing it through. You get to
do both.
At webTactics | DAY Communications, we’re a small agency with a clear focus: building employer brands and recruitment campaigns for clients across Canada, the US and beyond. Our work moves between shaping concepts and getting the details just right, sometimes before lunch.
We’re looking for an Art Director who loves both. Someone who can turn a brief into a campaign theme and make sure the idea still shines in a digital ad, a social post or a poster.
You’ll own assigned projects from concept to rollout, stay hands-on with design and help other designers do their best work. Sound like your kind of DAY? Keep reading.
What you’ll do:
- Find the idea in the brief and develop original campaign concepts, themes and visual directions
- Bring those ideas to life across print, digital and social media
- Lead assigned projects from brief through presentation and rollout
- Create polished designs and stay hands-on as the work develops
- Develop concepts and storyboards for animated digital ads
- Lead the art direction of photo and video shoots, from shot planning through decisions on set
- Present your thinking to the team and to clients
- Guide and mentor junior and intermediate designers
- Keep an eye on production details, deadlines and budgets
What you’ll bring:
- 4–8 years of relevant design experience
- A strong portfolio showing your design and campaign concepts brought to life
- A flair for typography, composition and layout
- The skill to adapt one idea across many formats without wearing it out
- A keen eye for detail with solid print and digital production knowledge
- Proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel)
What’ll give you the edge:
- The ability to work in both English and French
- Experience working in an advertising agency environment
- Experience developing creative for recruitment advertising/employment marketing
- Familiarity with Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flexitive or Asana
Haven’t held the Art Director title yet? That’s okay. If you’re a Senior Designer who develops ideas, has strong creative judgment and enjoys helping other designers grow, we’d love to see your work.
What we offer:
- A small Studio where you can take ownership, share your ideas and make an impact
- A mix of employer branding and campaign work, with room to see your ideas through to final execution
- Flexible office and remote work options, based on your location and province
- Paid vacation, extended health benefits and participation in our employee pension plan after one year
