Job Description

Point B Communications, an independent branding & advertising agency in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, is searching for an art director to join its growing creative department.

Who We Are

Point B is a full-service, mid-sized branding and advertising agency with over 50 years of experience moving people from point a to point b. Though much has changed since we first opened our doors in 1974, moving people remains our core competency and our passion - moving them to diverse geographies, attractions, and experiences. Emotionally, virtually, and physically.

Along the way, we’ve learned a thing or two about what motivates people – and what doesn’t. We believe that perfection is the enemy of progress, and that going faster always means going together.

We help our clients figure out their true objectives - and then map the journey to achieve them. To move people to buy, to dine, to relax, to book, to change, to stay, and to experience - the key is curiosity. Curiosity to research, listen, and understand.

Our industry-leading strategic, digital, and creative expertise finds the spark that drives people from point a to point b.

The Senior Copywriter Role
