Job Opening: Designer / Art Director / Genius-type

I love job descriptions like this.  We work in a creative environment, so I’m all for adding a little creativity wherever possible (and practical).

Rizen Creative has an opening for a Designer / Art Director.  From the post on their blog:

Two seemingly unrelated things happened in the past 14 days:

1) We didn’t win a Rockie Award for the category of “Local Single Entry/B&W, Fractional Page.” We didn’t enter, but still…

2) We found ourselves in need of a new designer/art director/genius-type.

While most would see these events as unrelated. We don’t. If you are a designer who can help us fulfill our lifelong dream of winning an award for “Local Single Entry/B&W, Fractional Page,” we want to talk to you.

Send us some sample of your work to hello@rizencreative.com.

Think you’ve got what it takes to help them win?

Setting Aside Humble and Understated…

…for the moment at least.

Because this is the point at which I get to say that the Idaho Ad Agencies blog is now the award-winning Idaho Ad Agencies blog.

Bear with me – the boasting will be over soon.

The Idaho Ad Agencies blog recently received an Excellence award at Capital City Communicator’s inaugural IMPACT Awards.  It was one of 31 winners in 15 categories at the event, which also included awards to our friends at Rizen Creative, Red Sky Public Relations, FusionSet, Murphy Media Services, SOVRN Creative and many more.

So with that little bit of bragging out of the way, we offer a hearty congratulations to all of this year’s winners.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming already in progress.

New Hire at Rizen Creative

Rizen Creative has added to their staff, with a “kick-ass office assistant”  named Bethany.  More details are available on Rizen Creative’ blog.

Congratulations Bethany.

Call for Entries: IMPACT Awards

Capital City Communicators, a Treasure Valley organization for professional communicators, has announced a Call for Entries for the inaugural IMPACT Awards.

The IMPACT Awards, which stands for Idaho Marketing, PR, and Communication Talent, “offer Idaho communicators a unique opportunity to showcase their work, receive expert feedback and gain peer and industry recognition,” said Jeff Reynolds, CCC president and owner of Rizen Creative.

From the CCC website:

We’re looking for the best and the brightest of 2009 – the marketing or communications project that made heads turn and people take notice. It’s time to show off your great work from the past year and earn recognition among your peers.

Entries will be accepted from Dec. 14, 2009 to Feb. 4, 2010. Award winners will be recognized at the IMPACT Award Recognition event in mid March 2010.

Early entries are due by January 28th, and late entries will be accepted (for an additional fee of course) through February 4th.

A Familiar Face in a New Place

While catching up on some neglected feed-reading over the past few days, I was surprised by an entry on Rizen Creative’s blog: Welcome, Jason.

And now, for the abridged version:

Jason Hamilton has left Fuel3, and is now with Rizen Creative.  While their blog post was not clear as to what Jason’s role is within the agency, I’m sure that he’ll be a great addition to their team.
