Mitchell Palmer is a colorful, intense, close-knit family of talented individuals sharing a great space overlooking the mountains above downtown Boise.  The agency needs a solid creative person with design chops—someone who is equally passionate about execution and idea strategy.

  • Conceptualize and produce design work celebrating the ‘big idea’: layouts, storyboards, edits and whatever else dramatizes the creative concept in a wide range of graphic applications (packaging; video titling; digital interfaces/tools; installations; brand identity; environmental graphics, etc.)
  • Produce work that is original and effective, and meets the targeted marketing strategy. Recommend surprising solutions.
  • Lead by example: produce creative work of a consistently great standard.
  • Be accountable for ensuring that the proposed creative solution can be feasibly executed within the time and budget given on the brief.
  • Present and explain creative concepts and visual solutions both internally, and to clients effectively; support strategies behind ideas and executions.

SKILLS & KNOWLEDGE:

  • Able to clearly differentiate between design execution and the big idea.

  • Appreciation of how creative concepts adapt across different media.
  • Aware of current trends in producing great advertising.
  • In-depth knowledge of Mac technology, networking, typefaces/fonts, etc.
  • In-depth knowledge of key software programs (Adobe Creative Suite, InDesign, Key Note, etc.).
  • Able to select the best program meeting the need of the client brief.
  • Have an appreciation and understanding for process and structure for overall sanity and efficiency; be an excellent time manager, with the ability to gauge how far to take design within the time allotted.
  • Minimum 5 years creative agency experience.
  • Experience in a large agency network, or creative network, a plus.
