Art Machine is looking for one exceptional Integrated Designer / Art Director. You may work alone. Or you may be paired with a writer. Either way, your job is to execute amazing creative concepts that convey complex messaging through imagery, tap into culture, build content that fans want to share, and disrupt categories. Are you 2-5 years into your career, ahead of your peers, and you don’t apologize for it? If so, this position could be for you.
About Us
Art Machine was formed in 1999 as a digital and print entertainment agency. In 2007, to diversify, we began working with brands and merged with entertainment content agency, Trailer Park. Today, brand makes up about half of Art Machine, and we work with clients like Universal Studios Theme Parks, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, The Los Angeles Rams, The Los Angeles Zoo, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Kumho Tire, and LoopNet.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to help brands build fans, and we do that through immersive storytelling and promotions/initiatives that compel fans to participate. And with almost 100 edit bays and a full digital/social group at Trailer Park, we have the production backbone to make anything possible.
Culture
We have a fun, energetic and fast-paced culture (which we all thrive on) – but we also built our brand business organically – the hard way – and our culture reflects that. This means there is a high emphasis on team and very little on individual. No one is building vanity campaigns that look good in their portfolio, but instead campaigns that generate buzz for clients, which leads to growth for them and us. Titles are not important here, and things shift constantly. So please don’t apply if you don’t think you can do exceptional creative, in high volumes, at lightning pace, with humility.
