Are you a Graphic Designer trapped in Web Art Director’s body?

If you’re an Art Director who doesn’t mind cobblestones (we’re in the Old Town) and likes the idea of developing yourself and our ambitious, growth-oriented clients, this could be a fantastic opportunity. We’re not like other Swedish agencies. We work mainly in English. And our team focuses primarily on international marketing communication assignments.

Strategic-Creative SWAT Team

At Open, you’d be working with a tight-knit team of multicultural individuals who are on a mission to create buzz and build results. We are a passionate group that loves the latest developments in social media, digital communication, art, modern architecture, literature, film, design and – of course – helping our clients be more successful across borders. While we do have a growing number of local clients, our main focus is on international projects. This has taken us to places including Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London and Lugano – in the past half year alone.

Experience, discipline and passion

You’ve probably got a couple of years of advertising or design agency experience under your belt. And you’ve done some formal schooling at places like Hyper Island or Beckmans / Forsbergs in Stockholm, Central St Martins in London or the Rhode Island School of Design in the US. You love typography and graphic design and have a meticulous attention to detail – and really burn to do great work.

Excited about digital possibilities

On the digital side, we’re looking for a person who lives and breathes the web. You’re super excited about the possibilities of the digital world and see it as part of your everyday life. Digital design. Search engine optimization. Twitter, Facebook and blogs. Best navigation practices – without breaking a sweat.Right now, with several new significant client wins – Sandvik, Mynewsdesk, Iggesund, Jalenas, 3W and others – we need a person who can bridge the gap between art direction and digital to do award-winning work with our top-notch team:

- strong web and interactive design skills

- solid graphic design background

- ability to think strategically and deliver on brief

- experience doing Corporate Visual Identity programs

- experience in designing logos - ability to juggle many jobs at once

- ability to take responsibility proactively

- fun, positive, optimistic personality
