Art Director Reviews
What is it like working as an Art Director?
September 2020
Art Director in Denver:
The company has a lot of hard working employees but is plagued by bad leadership. There is a culture of underpaying, undervaluing, and underdelivering from the top. There are a surprising number of women in management roles but unfortunately it appears to be more about paying them less than it does about recognizing the value of female leadership.
August 2020
A Small Big City.
Art Director in St Louis:
Pros: There are quite a few excellent design agencies and firms in the area, and I love seeing all the amazing work that comes out of them. They're not usually big, stuffy, self-important firms, but are generally down-to-earth and really invested in local initiatives.
Cons: There can be a fair amount of competition for jobs at the best boutique agencies. Lots of great designers, not as many non-corporate jobs.
April 2020

Great Company that's Beginning to Understand Importance of Marketing/Branding.

February 2020
Big fish, small pond.
