We're Looking for Creative Talent. Not Just a Checklist of Skills.

Are you a creative problem-solver who loves bringing ideas to life? Do you enjoy working across different digital platforms, tackling new challenges, and constantly finding ways to improve your craft?

AS Advertising is looking for a talented, experienced creative professional to join our team in Waterdown, Ontario.

We're not looking for someone who simply checks every box on a job description. We're looking for someone with exceptional talent, strong creative instincts, technical ability, and a portfolio that demonstrates what they can do.

Maybe you're an experienced web designer who also understands digital marketing. Maybe you're a digital marketing specialist with a flair for video production. Or perhaps you're a versatile creative who thrives when working across multiple disciplines.

If you have an impressive portfolio and a strong foundation in digital creative work, we want to hear from you even if you don't have experience in every area listed below, but at least most of them.

About AS Advertising

At AS Advertising, we're a creative agency specializing in retail marketing, branding, packaging, and design. We help brands stand out, connect with consumers, and grow through strategic marketing, compelling creative, and innovative design solutions.

We're a small, talented team that thrives on collaboration, creativity, and getting things done. Our size means everyone has the opportunity to contribute ideas, work across different disciplines, and develop new skills.

We take our work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We value outstanding ideas, open communication, a willingness to learn, and people who genuinely enjoy working together.

And yes, we love a good team lunch!

What You'll Be Doing

As part of our creative team, you'll work on a diverse range of projects for clients across multiple industries. Depending on your strengths and experience, your responsibilities may include:

- Website Development & Management: Building, updating, and maintaining websites, primarily using WordPress and Shopify. Experience editing HTML code is a plus.
- Digital Marketing: Developing, managing, and optimizing digital campaigns across social media, Google Ads, SEO, and email marketing platforms.
- Video & Motion Graphics: Creating, editing, and producing engaging videos, social media reels, animations, and other digital content.
- Creative Content Development: Working with our team to develop compelling visual content and marketing materials for digital and traditional media.
- Creative Collaboration: Working closely with our Creative Director, internal team, and clients to develop ideas, solve problems, and deliver exceptional results.

· AI Content Creation: Use AI tools daily to develop written, visual, and motion content that supports and enhances client campaigns. Apply strong creative judgment, established design principles, and hands-on refinement to transform AI-generated material into polished, original, brand-appropriate work. AI is a tool to enhance creativity, not replace it.

You'll have the opportunity to contribute to a wide variety of projects,



rather than being limited to one narrow area of expertise.
