Print. Collateral. Interactive. You’re an Art Director who does it all.

Meet Vivo.

Vivo is a small agency. But our aspirations are big. We deal exclusively with clients in complex, technical markets (most of them from the non-pharmaceutical medical field). Because of our size, everyone at Vivo wears many hats. We’re looking for an Art Director who is hands on and able to manage a job from start to finish. You must be able to:

· Develop core concepts that are executable across channels (interactive, print, direct mail, collateral)

· Design print ads, direct mail, brochures, logos, landing pages, microsites and banner ads

· Work in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and have some Flash experience

· Adhere to tight deadlines

· Go with the flow (flexibility is key)

Being able to joke around is also important. We’re not overly sensitive. We like to laugh at ourselves (and each other). And we enjoy coming to work.

Does this sound like you? If so, we can’t wait to hear from you! Send your resume and portfolio to our Creative Director, Alisa Wiggins, at awiggins@vivoagency.com.

DO YOU HAVE A KICK-ASS PORTFOLIO?

… read on …

We are:

Profero. An award-winning, independent digital communications group (incubator/ thinktank/funhouse/madhouse). Born in London twelve years ago, we’ve spread across the planet like a brightly-colored digital virus, spawning agencies along the way in Madrid, Paris, Milan, Munich, Mumbai, Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo and Sydney. Taking the long way ‘round, we finally landed here in your fair hamlet of New York City nearly two years ago and, as you’ll see when you step off of the elevator onto the fifth floor, we’re building something exciting and ready to make some noise. The teams outside of New York aren’t just pins in a map, they’re vibrant spaces populated by your global coworkers. We’re quite sure you’ll agree that immersion in this constant cultural cross-pollination is an infectious, deliriously exciting way to work. And did we mention we’re a block from the Shake Shack? Hell yeah.

You are:

A digital dynamo. Smart, driven, fun and curious, you get a serious dopamine hit when you publish a new site or see your ads online. An undergraduate or recent graduate studying graphic design, you’re hungry for a real live internship where you can work on real live accounts, show off your Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and all-around design skills, work on your Mandarin, Ozzie or British accent and learn from some seriously smart and fun people.

Allow us to tell you a bit more about yourself. You also have:

- outstanding verbal and written communication skills

- the burning desire to bring digital dreams to life

- an enthusiasm for collaboration on a global level and the belief that ideas blossom when shared

- a life outside of work

MONTHS? JUNE, JULY, AUGUST (exact start and end dates are flexible)

HOURS? In order for you to get the real life work vibe, we’d love for you to roll in when we do, usually by 9:30am.

CASH? Don’t think of it as an unpaid internship. Think of it as a free class where you get a stipend of $200/week to go crazy with.

CREDIT? If you get school credit for this, fantastic. We love higher education.

DOGS? Two, currently. Possibly three if you have a fun, friendly, civilized dog who is house trained and promises not to devour Tate and/or Wallace.

FUN? Endless.

Are we your people? Are you our people?

Let’s find out. Send a link to your work as well as your resume to Scott Rodgers: scott.rodgers@profero.com

If you have further questions, feel free to email me, Ben Thoma VC ‘04.

Ellee Durels here, class of 2003. We are looking for a summer intern at The Knot Inc (Theknotinc.com).

We have three major brands, The Knot, The Nest and The Bump. Each has many different media outlets including: magazines, websites, and video. The Knot is our flagship wedding brand, The Nest is dedicated to newlyweds and all things home, and finally The Bump is our pregnancy and baby brand.

Specifically, our team supports National and Local sales but we are also the “brand police” for the company. We do everything from creating national campaigns and pitching new advertisers to making sure all of our office signage is on brand. As an intern, you would work on projects for all brands in both web and print.

The bad news is we only pay $25 a day travel stipend to interns. We would need someone Monday through Wednesday. Start and end date would be flexible.

Our office is located in SOHO — which is a pretty amazing hood to work in.

Also, if you are a graduating senior, and we like your work it could possibly lead to some paid freelance work.

Danielle Pacheco (07′) started as our intern and is now a designer.

If you are interested, email me at edurels@theknot.com

Thanks!

Ellee

The LFMP contest deadline has been extended until May 1st.  Still worth entering!

http://www.247realmedia.com/lfmp/

There is a student video contest being sponsored through my company. Not many people have applied so far so you have a SERIOUS shot at winning $5,000-$10,000.

Check it out: http://247realmedia.com/lfmp/index.php

CREATIVE ASSIGNMENT: The Lean Forward Media Project 2.0 ‘Video Meets Baby Boomers’ is all about understanding people age 50+ and their interaction with digital media and technology. We want you to let us know what people in that age group are really doing, or not doing, with digital media across different channels and devices.

How are they communicating, shopping, working or enjoying entertainment? How about finding information and conducting daily life activities?  Let us know how they interact with different digital mediums and channels, or compare with traditional forms of non-digital media and technology.

We need you to show us something insightful and compelling, and provide true qualitative learning. It is recommended that you point out at least 5 specific qualitative learnings and convey them clearly in your video presentation.

For reference, you may refer to Lean Forward Media Project 1.0 ‘What’s Clicking with Kids’ focused on youth and their interactions with digital media and technology.  Watch the LFMP 1.0 video clips.  Through first person interviews with kids, we were able to glean various insights about them beyond the standard statistics. From the diversity of kids and their age group’s micro segments, to their preference to communicate passively over digital means, as well as their dependence on mobile devices and attitudes towards digital advertising, we really gained some valuable insight.

You have the opportunity to make it as one of three Finalists to win prizes. If you are selected as the first place winner, you will receive $10,000 and the opportunity to present your video piece at an upcoming conference. Two second place winners will each receive $5,000.

If your website is still not on their, post it here so we can add it. It can only get you more exposure.
