Creative Content Designer

Job Overview

Are you the type of person who can write for all social media platforms, design the graphic to go with it, and then build the digital assets to match? Do you love creating content that looks great, sounds great, and gets results? Can you switch seamlessly between designing a display ad, writing social copy, and building an HTML5 digital campaign? Do you want to work in a fun office with cool people and projects that challenge your creativity every day? If so, then we have the perfect opportunity for you.

We’re looking for a Creative Content Designer to join our creative team and help develop engaging content and digital experiences for clients across a wide range of industries. In this role, you’ll combine design, writing, and digital production skills to create compelling content across social media, digital advertising, websites, email marketing, and other marketing channels.

The ideal candidate is a creative problem solver with strong visual design skills, an eye for detail, and the ability to write concise, effective copy. You’ll work closely with the V.P. of Creative Strategy, Associate Creative Director, project manager, account executives, designers, copywriters, digital specialists, and multimedia team members to develop content that helps clients achieve their goals. Responsibilities include graphic design, social media content creation, digital advertising development, copywriting, HTML5 ad production, and ensuring brand consistency across a variety of platforms and campaigns.

This position must work in our Bismarck, ND, office. (And yes, we still have free snacks. The good kind. The kind that somehow disappear immediately after someone says, “I’m trying to eat healthier.”)

Odney was founded in 1985, which means we have 40 years of experience creating high-impact marketing and communications that deliver real results to help our clients grow and prosper. Our approach is simple: we gather the best minds, the most committed people and the ones who want to change the world, and give them the freedom, support and tools to flourish. Our team of highly skilled, highly motivated and highly dedicated individuals offers clients the creative and strategic firepower to reach new levels of success.

Our commitment to excellence pushes each of us to dig deep for our clients while respecting that we all have invigorating and important lives outside of our careers. We cultivate and encourage a strong work-life balance because we believe we all deserve time, attention and quality benefits. We‘re all at our best when we feel well-rounded and supported. If you want to work for a dynamic company that values your talent and well-being, join us!
