Graphic & Web Designer
BadCat Digital Marketing

Our Visual Media department produces quality work for small to mid-sized companies in the Central Minnesota area. At the core of their job, a Graphic & Web Designer works with other BadCat team members to design websites, print materials, social media graphics, digital ads, and more. A designer works with account managers, strategists, and writers to understand the messaging a client wants for their target audience.

On an average day, a BadCat Graphic and Web Designer will work on a variety of tasks assigned to them including designing web pages, crafting custom social media content, developing logos, and creating print materials. To achieve this goal, the designer must be capable of production in multiple media formats while keeping the client’s needs at the forefront during production.

BadCat Digital is a workspace that encourages adaptability and flexibility; therefore, our designer should also be looking to grow and take on new responsibilities. This position involves taking creative risks and rejecting the notion that digital marketing success is formulaic without an ounce of creativity behind brand growth.
