We need a strong Communications and Design Associate.

​

The Communications Associate will devote their time supporting client work and The Root Agency brand, marketing, and communications needs. The Communications Associate will work directly with the Founder & CEO and collaborate with all team members—working in cross-functional service lines.

The scope of work includes and is not limited to writing and graphic design of brochures, sponsorship packets, annual reports, website, social media strategy and content creation, direct mail/annual appeals, company collateral, conference communications, and more. This role is responsible for the comprehensive brand adherence and experience. This translates to the digital and exhibitor booth and in-person brand experience as well. The Associate is also responsible for guiding and implementing internal communications for brand adherence ie. Learning and Development Powerpoints and video library. This role may be a mix of client-facing and internal project management and execution. We expect our team to adapt to company needs. This role may require up to 10% of time traveling for conferences, client site visits, etc.
