BANDUJO advertising + design

Designer (Senior or Junior)

Are you absolutely passionate about the art of design and typography? Is it a craft that’s in your blood, not just something you learned on a computer? Do you search through hundreds of fonts to find that exact one? Does every single letter have to be kerned correctly for you to be satisfied? Do you not stop searching for art until you’ve found the absolutely perfect visual to complement your creative? Do you have a strong sense of pride in your work such that “good enough” is not in your vocabulary? If that only begins to describe your passion for design, we’d love to talk with you.

We’re a full-service ad agency in the Chelsea/Flatiron area with great clients and a dedication to providing them with impactful, beautifully designed creative for absolutely everything we do. We are seeking a talented designer/art director with outstanding creative, typography and visual design skills.

If that sounds exciting to you, we encourage you to apply. To us, your length of work experience doesn’t matter. If design is in your blood you have it whether you’re just starting your career of have been doing it for a lifetime. We invite you to submit your portfolio and show us your talents.

IMPORTANT: In applying for this position, your cover letter and portfolio are significantly more important than your resume. It is your opportunity to sell yourself, the same way you would help our clients sell their products and services. So please share with us why you think you’d be the perfect person for this position and demonstrate how you bring us all the qualities we’re looking for. Your cover letter should also note your salary requirements.

To apply for this position, please email your cover letter, resume and portfolio (please send samples as a single pdf or as a link to a website) to adjob at bandujo dot com or you can mail or drop off at:

Copywriter (Senior or Junior)

As a copywriter at Bandujo you get to work on an incredibly diverse range of business. One day you might need to come up with a new anti-smoking campaign, convince customers to subscribe to a leading fashion publication and for a challenge in the afternoon, figure out how to get small business customers to open a line of credit. Want more? How about convincing inner city youths to put down their guns, union members to take better care of the health or wealthy customers to open a high-end bank account? These are just a few of the challenges that come across your desk every day.

If that sounds exciting to you, we encourage you to apply. To us, your writing ability is more important than your years of experience. But you must be able to seamlessly shift from writing for different mediums including direct mail, TV, online and collateral to writing for very different audiences. You’re definitely not stuck on one account here, so if that range of diversity is what fuels your creatively, you may be the right fit. You must also be a great team player and willing to explore ideas from everyone. Account and creative all work together to develop the absolute best ideas for our clients.

Senior Account Supervisor

At most ad agencies, the account staff doesn’t get to play in the creative world. At Bandujo, we’re different. We’re looking for a Senior Account Supervisor who thinks like a businessperson, but can also come up with great approaches and ideas for ad campaigns, direct mail, web applications and more. Could you come up with a new approach for an anti-smoking ad? How about getting business customers to sign up for a line of credit? Or members of a union to take better care of their health? These are just a few examples of the types of challenges that might come across your desk every day.

We encourage you to apply if you have:

• Sales experience – if you can clearly explain a product’s benefits and can think on your feet quickly to overcome a client’s objections you’re a good fit.
• A passion for the world of business — you truly enjoy learning about different company’s and industries, understanding how they work and what makes them successful.
• The ability to think and write creatively — our account managers play an integral role in contributing concepts, campaign direction and messaging ideas throughout the creative process. This is your opportunity to unleash your creative side.
• A great personality and strong presentation skills — working with clients on a day-to-day basis and doing whatever it takes to satisfy their needs with a “can do” spirit is a critical component of this job.
• A strong sense of pride in your work such that “good enough” is not in your vocabulary.
• A willingness to pitch in, no matter how menial a task or small a project.
• The entrepreneurial spirit – as a member of a small firm, you play a key role in the agency’s success and future growth.
