• Print (ads, outdoor media, direct mail, packaging)
  
• Branding (logos, style guides, design systems)
  
• Enough understanding of HTML and CSS to understand the implications of your designs

YOU’RE PERFECT FOR THIS ROLE IF

• You love using design to solve problems. You believe design is a powerful instrument for conveying key themes, emotions and ideas.
  
• You see a lot of things and think, “I could have made that look better.”
  
• You like variety and don’t want to do the same thing every day. You want to develop skills beyond your core areas of focus.

• You have a fundamental understanding of good design principles and know how to apply them even when experimenting with a new design trend.
  
• You’re not above occasional grunt work, and when you do it, you still treat it with love and attention.

• You’re looking for a chill place to work, and a place where your input can really make a difference.

• They’ll support you in your quest for excellence by giving you the tools you need and the opportunities to do your best work.
  
• They’ll nurture your professional development by paying for courses, events, memberships and any other worthwhile learning opportunity.
  
• They’ll pay you a competitive salary with bonus potential and the opportunity to earn more as your work helps their agency grow.
  
• They’ll provide a 401(k) with a company match
  
• They’ll pay for your health, dental and vision insurance, your cell phone, breakfast every Friday and your bar tab at any company outing.
  
• You’ll have room to spread out in the perfect creative work environment in their Uptown (Dallas) office, right next to the Katy Trail.
  
• They’ll give you flexibility (unlimited paid time off; generous maternity/paternity leave) and autonomy in customizing your working hours and location.
  
• They’ll have your back. You’ll be a part of a team who depends on you, and vice versa.
  

About their firm

If you’re looking for variety, you’ll find it at Aars | Wells.

Their client base is very diverse, as are the projects, challenges and budgets they bring to them. They like it this way. A few of their clients are huge, well-known brand names, but most are small and mid-size marketers who really depend on them to help strengthen their brand and grow their business. Either way, you’ll be able to see the effect your work is having on these businesses, and that’s not something every agency is able to show.

Their work is equally diverse. As an integrated agency, most of their campaigns involve a broad mix of tactics. Being able to execute a cohesive creative strategy across multiple touchpoints is the key to their success. This isn’t always easy because it requires knowing how to do a lot of things. But that’s why they believe in building an amazing team full of smart people who are willing to listen and learn as well as teach.

They’re most proud of the fact that they do all that they do while maintaining a laid back, fun atmosphere where work is enjoyable, not stressful. They have an inclusive, family-style vibe, an unlimited PTO policy and a “Be nice, work hard, have fun” ethos that’s powered them for 20 years.
