About The Position

Ready to turn creative ambition into business impact? We’re looking for an Associate Designer who sees a blank canvas and thinks “opportunity.” Someone who creates work that doesn’t just communicate. It converts. This isn’t about making things look pretty (though the work will). It’s about crafting visual stories that help ambitious companies choose us over everyone else. You’ll sit on Drake Cooper’s Creative team, reporting to a Creative Director, and you’ll be a resource across every client in our portfolio. You’re not designing client campaigns, but everything you create will directly impact our ability to land the ambitious companies we’re built to serve and to serve our current clients well. Half your work will be internal and agency-facing: presentations, proposals, case studies, social content, and award submissions. The other half will be client-touching: comping assets, building decks, and making sure every piece that goes out the door looks like it came from the best agency in the room. You’ll collaborate with the Creative Directors, Art Directors, Director of Growth, Director of Marketing, and Senior Strategist to create visual experiences that support our expansion into food & beverage, retail, real estate, financial services, and employee-owned brand markets. We’re not expecting you to know everything on day one. We are looking for someone who sees a brief and thinks, “challenge accepted.” Someone who pulls teams forward rather than waiting to be pulled. This role is onsite at our Boise, Idaho office location.

Requirements

0–5 years of design experience in an agency or client-facing environment
