Adams Outdoor Advertising seeks entry-level graphic designer

Posted by jennifer on July 18, 2010

Adams Outdoor Advertising is hiring for an entry-level graphic designer for our Charleston, SC office. Potential candidates should have 0-3 years of experience in an advertising or design position and a well-formed opinion on what makes a great ad.

Adams Outdoor Advertising is the 5th largest provider of billboard advertising in the country. We’re a sales organization with a focus on creating great ads. After all, our product is only as good as the ad that’s posted on it. We’re not merely order-takers. We strive to delve deep into our clients’ needs and develop effective media strategies that will grow their business.

As the graphic designer, you will take direction from and collaborate with the art director on a variety of projects. A lot of the work might be production-style work such as “exit now” for a hotel on I-95. When we’re done knocking that stuff out, we’ll sink our teeth into incredible projects like spectacular 3D sculpturesque designs for McDonald’s. (Did you see the board that was transformed into a giant box of french fries? We did that.) But the creative potential of each project is only limited by the effort we want to give to it.

Please send a résumé and work samples to Todd Turner at tturner@adamsoutdoor.com. Submissions without PDF samples or a link to an online portfolio will not be considered.
