• Assist on production shoots

QUALIFICATIONS

• Basic HTML5 coding skills
• Self-motivated entrepreneurial and endlessly curious
• Ability to multi-task, prioritize and manage your own time in a deadline-driven environment

• Knowledge of or strong interest in consumer electronics a plus

NOTE: If you are selected for an interview, please come prepared to discuss and showcase your art direction portfolio and walk through your conceptual/strategic creative approach to assignments (show us how your brain works).
