ART DIRECTOR/SENIOR DESIGNER

All of the best agencies have one.

They’re not Creative Directors. No, it’s those Art Directors or Senior Designers that the best work seems to revolve around. Their personalities have a kind of gravitational pull on clients and coworkers. They plan projects, strategize with clients, lead teams, and design anything from an identity to a website. They can turn marketing strategy into that killer concept. And, of course, their names are on most of the awards.

These people are the best of team players, without oversize egos. But the agency knows they’re good, and they’re treated very well. Yet, they eventually move on.

That’s where we come in: Levine & Associates is a leading Washington, DC design and advertising studio that gives top talent everything that they want most in their work life. That’s why our people have turned their positions into careers, staying at L&A for an average of a decade and counting. Great people doing great work on great accounts. Real pros who are highly respected by their colleagues and clients – and who are generously rewarded for the success that they create. It’s all wrapped up in a refreshingly sane and relaxed environment that combines responsibility with freedom.

To select candidates for this position, we have to make the first cut on pure award-winning talent, and then on quality of experience. But in the end, we’ll spend some time really getting to know the top contenders – looking for that personality that inspires clients and coworkers.

Look us over at www.levinedc.com. If our work needs your work, then what we need to see from you is that truly superb portfolio and at least five years of solid agency experience on your resume. If you’re not a perfect match, then tell someone who is. If you can introduce us to our new coworker, then we can introduce you to a $1,000 finder’s fee.
