Graphic Designer I
Ever knocked a star off a Yelp restaurant review because of the font choice in their menu? When someone says ’50 Shades of Gray’, do you ask if they are talking about HEX colors or PANTONE? Do you believe using Times New Roman is a crime against humanity? Well, you’re not alone.

The Work
As a Graphic Designer I at Access Marketing Company, you will work directly with our Creative Leads to execute a variety of design projects on a daily basis. You'll hone your creative chops with the best of our team.
These projects often include the design & development of email campaigns, landing pages, article & whitepaper layouts, websites, trade show booths and whatever other medium we can throw at you.

The Team
Our design team is collaborative, with a team-first mentality. Your teammates are always available to help when you're in a bind and we ask that you provide the same level of support.
We are a "pull" organization - meaning micro-managing is not in our vocabulary. Instead, we ask all our employees to take ownership of their projects and pull in resources when they need help - as well as pull in the account team when designs are ready to go.
