7328: Truth In Advertising Classifieds…?


This actual job listing from Draftfcb is a joke. It opens by claiming the agency is looking for someone to “create memorable TV spots … a craftsman of brilliant, funny broadcast spots who also has a thorough understanding of color and type.” Are the candidates going to be handling their own transfers and supers? Also, when has Draftfcb ever produced memorable, brilliant and funny spots? Then the specifications continue, stating the need for experience with promotions. And print. And interactive. And OOH. And retail merchandising. And you must be fluent in CS. In other words, you’ll be working on broadcast between producing coupon flyers, direct response banners, sales billboards and shelf-talkers.

Senior/ACD Art Director

Description:
Draftfcb Irvine is looking for a Senior/ACD-level art director to create memorable TV spots for global brands. A good eye for detail is essential for this position. You should be someone who understands strategy as well as design, an art director who cares about copy, a properly put together storyboard, and the look of a simple client deck. We’re looking for a craftsman of brilliant, funny broadcast spots who also has a thorough understanding of color and type.

You should have at least eight years of agency experience, with a portfolio that features both good TV and a sharp design sensibility. A promotions/design background would come in handy for this position. You will be working in broadcast and print, as well as interactive, OOH and retail merchandising. Fluency in CS is a must.

We offer a competitive salary + a generous benefits package.
