Designer

At Biddyco, we help brands grow their sales through Facebook, Instagram and Google advertising.

The Creative Department has one goal, to help our clients stand out in a very crowded sea, and it will be your job to make that happen! As a Designer at Biddyco, you will be responsible for bringing our clients’ products to life. Working closely (but not too close, don’t worry we’re anti micro-managers) with our Creative Director & Art Director, you will create a library of Images, GIFS and Videos for advertising on Facebook, Instagram and more.

50% of the time we’re working with pre-made assets and 50% of the time we are creating everything from scratch. If you’re looking for a hyper-creative environment, with very little red tape and restrictions, this is it. Things move fast in the world of social and you have to be willing to commit to a 90% done is good enough attitude. We’re looking for someone who appreciates details but isn’t limited by perfectionist habits.

We hit deadlines and follow brand guidelines (if provided), but otherwise, everything else is free game. It’s the golden ticket opportunity for anyone who craves creative freedom, prefers the unconventional option, gets bored easily and loves social media. Did we mention that on any given day you’ll be working with multiple different (fun, up & coming e-commerce) brands? If you crave routine, stop reading now.

We produce more content in a month than many big brands create in an entire year. With that said, we have strict work/life boundaries and don’t believe in working through the night, working on weekends or overworking anybody. We’re efficient like WOAH and if that excites you we can’t wait to see your work!

What we expect from you:

Be able to work with multiple clients. If your dream is to work with a single client for an entire year, you’re gonna hate it here.
Ability to turn around simple updates quickly. Tweaks, variation, and flexibility are vital in our industry.
Be able to take direction from our Creative Director and make it your own.
Ability to work with our contract designer on big projects.
A desire to go above and beyond, challenge traditional design conventions, find new ways to do things, take design risks and push the envelope.
To be focused on creating designs that will convert the best, not just look the best (but we always find a way to do both)
The belief that ‘creative blocks’ are B.S. Even when we aren’t inspired it’s our job to come back to the table and find a way.
To not take design so seriously that you struggle to find the fun in it. Our clients are fun, the content we get to create is fun, so you’ve got to be lighthearted about your work.
To have thick skin. Revisions are our middle name.
Feel a commitment to honoring deadlines. We do not take deadlines lightly and neither should you.
