Advertising Art Directory

The Pitch:

Attention all budding Mad Men: D Magazine Partners—award winning publisher of D, D Home, D CEO, and D Weddings magazines—is looking for an advertising superstar to join its talented team. We need someone who has a passion for publishing. You know perfect bound from saddle stitch. Your H&Js are beyond reproach. You not only embrace the grid system, you bend it to your will. That makes you perfect for our company. D Magazine Partners is looking for a talented individual who thrives as an independent thinker, but plays well with others. Your keystrokes are swift and mouse mighty (meaning you work fast). You create dazzling designs yet feel equally comfortable working within existing templates, revamping an ad campaign, or starting from scratch with a new concept. You feel comfortable discussing your vision with everyone from fellow designers to account executives to editors to clients. Simply put, you’re D material.

The Qualifications:

We’re looking for a talented candidate with 3-5 years of advertising/marketing/web design experience. Ad agency experience is a big plus. You work well in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. You have experience working with photographers, illustrators, and art agencies. Stock art is your friend—you don’t fear it. Creative writing and copywriting skills are a plus. You have a solid understanding of pre-press requirements and processes. You’ll manage our advertising/marketing art department, reporting directly to the corporate creative director. You should be able to craft successful advertising campaigns for both print and web, pitch ideas to clients, create and manage marketing campaigns for not only the D brand but all of its publications/properties, manage a staff of designers/art directors, and play well with others. We need someone who is not only creative and an idea generator but is also highly organized and methodical. Publishing is a fast paced industry and we need you to be a speedy art director – fast conceptualization skills are a must – without sacrificing quality.

The Finale:

D Magazine Partners is looking for a wow person—someone who can fashion great creative and sell it. We offer salary commensurate with experience, health care, 401(k), bonus structure, and paid vacation. Our work environment is relaxed and easy going. No dress codes. No clocking in or out. Just fun-loving professionals creating the best creative in Dallas.
