Highly collaborative positions work with a team of editors, motion graphics designers, sound designers and project managers to create commercial spots and other high-end motion media. Our team is focused and very tightly connected. We love what we do.

Our studio has proven to be an incubator for smart, hungry, driven talent as they build their creative careers. We’ve recently watched one of our designers grow into USC Film School’s elite Masters Degree Program in Los Angeles, and another to the Microsoft Xbox User Experience team in Seattle. Collaborate and grow with our world-class veterans. Excellent opportunity to expand your skills with a studio in a constant state of creative evolution. Both positions full-time, on site. Must relocate to St. Louis, MO.

REQUIREMENTS:
o The primary requirement is an exceptional sense of design and art direction.
o Must introduce innovative design solutions while taking direction and staying within client parameters.
o Must be highly skilled in After Effects.
o Must have expert knowledge of Maya or C4D.
o Must have excellent interpersonal and leadership skills required to work directly with clients and take ownership of the direction and outcome of projects.
o Ideal senior level candidate will have at least 4 years experience in commercial post-production working directly with agency clients. For the junior level position, more consideration will be given to design skills and overall creative potential than the depth of experience. Outstanding recent college graduates with a strong reel will be considered for the junior-level position.
o Must be driven to innovate and excel.
o Have a passion to keep up with software and hardware.

We work with leading agencies on visually exciting and forward thinking brands…Bud Light, Budweiser, Atlantis Resorts, SeaWorld, Ameristar Casinos, Barcardi Rum, Chevrolet, Coke, McDonald’s, Triscuit, Build-A-Bear Workshops, Subway, Purina One and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, just to name a few.
