Graphic Designer (Remote)

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
*
Voice & Reason is a boutique creative agency focused on providing a complete suite of marketing materials for small to mid sized service-based businesses. We partner with our clients to function as an outsourced “marketing department” by recommending and constructing materials that work together to continuously elevate the brand and drive sales growth. Our outputs range from highly conceptual (brand identities, ads, websites) to quick-turn tactical (product spec sheets, SEM ads, booth graphics).

Because we serve as a long-term partner for our clients, all of our work must come from a unified strategy and be highly integrated. Every piece we create adopts (and often further defines) a brand standard for tone of voice, visual styles, and calls to action.

Voice & Reason has three full time employees, and a small stable of contract tradespeople with deep areas of specialization in UX design, print design, front-end development, copywriting, and videography. The two agency founders (bios available on website) have extensive backgrounds in marketing strategy and brand design, having led national agency teams and built marketing experiences for international brands.
