ABOUT THE JOB

The Morrison Agency is looking to hire an Interactive Designer (not a print designer, or an art director), to service a number of accounts within the B2B category. Your job will be to design things for the internets, ie websites, rich media banners, widgets, apps, etc.

You’ll be tasked with concepting, designing, and (occasionally) helping integrate new interface designs. This spans traditional websites, as well as online advertising (such as banners and rich media) as well as interactive DVDs etc.

YOU’RE A GREAT FIT IF

• You have the experience designing contemporary user interfaces, that are both engaging, and intuitive.
• You know your way around the Adobe Suite like a champ.
• You have the ability to design online advertising, in the form of banners or rich media.
• You aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves, and do minor front-end work, or animate a banner ad.
• You are able to meet deadlines, without losing site of the big picture, while maintaining excellent attention to detail.
• You can articulate yourself, and your design decisions, well.
• You are easily taught, and even easier to motivate.
• You realized “sight” and “site” were interchanged somewhere above.
• Above all else, you’re passionate about the world of interactive design.

If you think you have what it takes, forward your resume, portfolio, and Twitter username to jeremy@morrisonagency.com.

Built using all the awesomeness allowed by PHP, JQuery, CSS, JavaScript et al – and then degraded for the sake of our IE friends – this new site provides a limitless canvas for us to share information, add new content, show off rockin’ new work, and partake in an ongoing conversation with those of you reading our blog (like you are right now).

This site is still young, and despite our efforts to QA, likely has issues that we’ve yet to notice. So please bare with us over the next week as we massage and finesse all the little details. If you happen to notice any on your own, please be sure to share them with us. Look for a new rockin’ mobile site in the coming weeks.

Songs and praises are welcome in the comments

James also sits on the board of a non-profit organization, Triple Play Foundation, which is aimed at helping underprivileged areas by using sports as a way to encourage responsibility and community service.

Combined with a love for all things design-related, and a serious “nerd passion” for the internet, James is a force to be reckoned with.

Eddie Snyder, Chief Creative Officer

Snyder has spent his career developing smart thinking and powerful business-building ideas for big brands like Aflac, Aruba Tourism Authority, Black & Decker, CibaVision, Coca-Cola, Durex condoms, Havertys furniture stores, Kodak, Quikrete Concrete, Russell Athletic and Time Warner. He joins The Morrison Agency after a brief stint at Partners & Napier, Atlanta. Prior to that, he served as executive VP-chief creative officer of Fitzgerald + CO, also Atlanta.

“I joined The Morrison Agency because it’s the perfect model of what today’s thinking company should be,” said Snyder. “They totally get it, and they’ve totally got it – a real world approach, savvy strategic thinking and convergence that is re-shaping our industry with the total integration of fresh digital/interactive smarts. Combine that with Bob Morrison’s bold vision of where he wants to take the agency, and it will be an exciting place to be and grow.”

“Eddie Snyder is an incredible talent, widely recognized as one of the country’s top creative minds. Given our recent growth and future plans, he is pivotal to our continuing to deliver fresh thinking that drives business and delivers results for clients,” said agency CEO Bob Morrison. “His broad experience plays right into our philosophy of approaching B2B clients with the same rational and emotional appeals used in B2C.”

Snyder’s award mantle grew in 2009 due to the success of a viral video created for Durex condoms. One of the top viral videos of the year, Durex “Get it On” won a Bronze Cyber Lion at the Cannes International Advertising Festival, a rare Pencil Nomination from D&AD in London, a Silver CUBE from the Art Directors Club and a Gold and Silver CLIO.

In addition to building brands and winning awards, Snyder is shaping creative minds. He’s director of advertising arts for the famed Portfolio Center where he’s been an instructor for 19 years and is now creating and launching a dynamic new entity called the School of Thought. And, he is working on his first novel – and it’s not about advertising.

Having art direction as a background Jeff is the perfect complement to any creative team. He works with designers to develop optimal communication pieces while maximizing client budgets.
