Projects may include brand identities, advertising campaigns, packaging, social campaigns, digital ads, websites, presentations, print, environmental graphics, and creative concepts for photo and video productions.

We move quickly, collaborate constantly, and care deeply about the quality of the work we put into the world. The right person is comfortable receiving feedback, defending good creative decisions, pushing ideas further, and knowing when something simply isn’t good enough yet.

This is an in-person position at POLA in Covington, Louisiana.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain consistency across large campaigns
• Comfortable presenting creative ideas and explaining design decisions
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to receive and apply creative direction without losing ownership of the work
• Experience preparing production-ready files for print and digital use
