POD Marketing Inc. Hiring For Graphic Designer at Calgary, AB Full Time

Graphic Designer – Job posting closes February 3, 2022

Who is POD Marketing?

POD Marketing is a full-service digital marketing agency that offers clients a wide range of marketing solutions. Unlike other agencies, we specialize in 5 specific industries, which makes us true experts in both digital marketing and the industries we serve.

While we are committed to our clients, our number 1 priority has and always will be our employees. We believe this employee-obsessed approach is the biggest contributor to our company’s growth. In only 7+ years, we’re now working with over 200 clients across North America, which would not have been possible without employing a talented team of over 80 employees.

Office culture is not about having a beer fridge or a ping-pong table (but yes, we have those too), it’s about how being at work makes you feel. We asked our staff and here are some of the things they said they loved most about working at POD Marketing: They feel accepted for who they are, supported, challenged, enjoy the flexibility of being able to work from home, the open lines of communication with every member on the team including upper management, having physiological safety, and are energized by the opportunities to grow, develop and progress their careers.

How to Apply

At POD, we believe “that most job requirements and conceptual knowledge are easily trainable. But you can’t teach drive, ambition, or passion.” (Take a look at this article, Finding Your Unicorn, written by our President, Kevin Wilhelm). Our hiring managers consider alignment with our core values and passion for our company culture to be as valuable as experience and education.

After reading this job description, we want you to ask yourself:

Am I the exact right person for this role?

Do I align with POD’s core values and culture?

If you’ve answered yes to both questions, we want to hear from you! Here are a few easy steps that will help us get to know you better.
