Vermilion is a full-spectrum, Boulder-based 30-person integrated design and interactive agency providing distinctive solutions to a wide range of clients, with particular emphasis on foundations, nonprofits, natural product companies, and civic and educational organizations. We seek out clients who are passionate about their work and who are making a positive impact in our world.

Clients include health conscious companies like Whole Foods Markets, Rudi’s Organic Bakery, and Door To Door Organics.

We offer a diversified suite of services to accelerate our clients’ goals, from research and brand strategy, to naming and identity, to packaging and print design, to web, social media, interactive and digital marketing services.

Are you a real talent without a big ego? Are you a strategic thinker and also a good listener? Do you have big ideas but don’t take yourself too seriously? Are you equally comfortable in traditional and digital media? Are you happy working on consumer projects one minute and nonprofit initiatives the next?

We admit it. We’re looking for a Unicorn. We’re looking for a Creative Director who’s an inspiring force—one that keeps our work remarkable, our talent growing, and our strategies effective. We’re looking for candidates who are conceptual, strategic, and collaborative, and are adept at generating authentic ideas and unique expressions, and executing them across channels.
