About the Company

We're an integrated multichannel digital marketing agency. Our mission: to provide the strongest creative, marketing and distribution approach possible to solidify long-term brand impressions in the marketplace.

We focus on digital marketing with some print work. Our services include brand identity, logos, collateral, digital advertising, web development (WordPress, Shopify, PHP/Laravel), landing pages, email marketing, blog posts, PPC campaigns, social media content (Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google), account-based marketing campaigns, content marketing, and strategy development. We operate as a turnkey solution - providing both consultative strategy and hands-on execution. We start with consulting services to develop strategy, then deliver ongoing work through retainer relationships.

Most customers are in Ontario Canada, with additional accounts in California and project work extending to Australia and Peru.

We're a fully remote organization with 5 teammates, including our CEO, a full-time Developer/Coordinator, PPC Advertising and SEO Specialists, and a Sales team member. We're headquartered in Kitchener, with team members across the Toronto area, India, and the Philippines.

Our culture is fast-moving. We value being organized while embracing controlled chaos, focus on repeatable actions, and maintain a "talk it through" culture with a collaboration-first approach. We balance humor with candor in all interactions.

About the Role

We're looking for a remote Designer to execute high-quality design work across multiple clients and projects while understanding brand fundamentals and aspiring to brand development.

In this role, you'll work as a design executor rather than strategist, juggling 6-7 different clients and projects with smaller tasks throughout. Think of it like being an orchestrator of different instruments – we don't pick the songs, but we develop something unique for each company that accompanies what's been provided.

Some bigger projects come in waves, but most work involves ongoing smaller projects requiring quick turnarounds. This is not a client-facing role, so you can focus entirely on creative execution and delivery.

You have strong design fundamentals, good taste, and excellent judgment in creating effective design that's empathetic to client needs and existing branding.

Your performance will be measured by delivering work on time, creating designs with a WOW factor, achieving quick client approvals, demonstrating strong interpretive skills with client requests, and meeting our brand standards.

• Brand Development: Creating design assets; developing brand equity extensions; maintaining consistency across brand touchpoints
• Social Content Design: Static post design for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn; creating visual content that aligns with brand guidelines
• Web and Landing Page Design: Creating websites in Sketch or Wix; responsive design; CRO best practices; design-dev handoff and developer collaboration
• Blog Post Design: Creating blog posts with consistent look and feel to existing branding; creating supporting assets; maintaining visual consistency
• Email Marketing Design: Developing eBlasts in Campaign Monitor; creating and stacking images and content; creating templates; developing assets; proofreading and copywriting sensibility
• Video & Motion Graphics: Occasional video and motion graphics work using After Effects
• Project Organization: Organizing projects for Developers to build landing pages; updating SOPs and playbooks; maintaining file organization standards
