Creative Specialist

We’re looking for a highly creative, hands-on Creative Specialist who loves building brands through design, content, and visual storytelling.

This role is centered around creating. You’ll design graphics, build social content, support website visuals, develop ads and brochures, and bring campaigns to life across platforms. You’ll work closely with our Account Managers and Creative Strategists to execute ideas that drive results for our clients.

You don’t need to start by managing accounts — but you do need to care deeply about quality, creativity, and delivering strong visual work that aligns with strategy.

If you’re someone who loves design, enjoys capturing content in the field, and thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving agency environment — this role was built for you.

This role is ideally a full-time, on-site position based in Ludington, Michigan. We believe creativity thrives in collaboration, and being part of our in-person team is the preferred structure for this role. However, we are open to a part-time arrangement for the right candidate.
