Colossal Squid has only met two people on the planet who can cover off on this one. Might you be the third?  We’re looking for one more creative lead to join us in Chicago.  A creative lead is an interactive ad agency creative director who can concept and lead great creative across all digital channels (and any other channels germane to the creative).  You will own, concept, and drive the big idea (or small, smart ones) across a big brand engagement and be a trusted partner to your client.

You’ll need a minimum of five years experience as a creative hotsy-totsy trailblazer at the CD level at an agency we’ve all heard of working on brands we also know. We offer satisfying work, talented peers, and all the root beer you can drink.  Iconoclasts and malcontents welcome.

Click here to apply.

**metaphorically speaking
Colossal Squid Industries is totally an equal opportunity employer.

In discussing favorite short lists, ours is the 2009 Cannes Cyber Lion for Games. We made the Shortlist for our three exceptionally insanely challenging Flash AS3 beasts.  Test your ingenuity here.  Thanks again to our good friends at Fallon for bringing us along.

This is smoking hot awesome.  Thanks France.

Count us in.  The Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA) has honored us with an invitation to join their merry band.  This is really awesome news and we’re pretty jacked to have been considered for membership.

We just haven’t counted them yet.  Twenty-nine (29!) brands fight for the honor of being crowned the Official Root Beer of Colossal Squid Industries.  Final results will be posted next week.  Re-live the action round-by-round on Twitter at twitter.com/colossal_squid or #rootbeerchallenge.

Colossal Squid Industries is proud to share the news that Kmart has selected us as digital agency on a new series of social media initiatives.   We’ve been collaborating closely for the past couple of months on a number of projects you’ll see throughout the year.

We’ve been a little light on hard news on this site.  Now you know what we’ve been up to.

Oh – and check this out when you get a moment.  Clearly a distant cousin of The Squid (from the better-looking side of the family).

So will you.  Our friends at Mullen asked us to lend a hand in the redesign of Dickies.com.  Dickies are jeans to some people. To us Dickies is the front end of an eCommerce retail store that reflects the Dickies enthusiast.  So whether you’ve competed in the X-Games, or you’re an average working stiff just run over by a skateboard - Dickies is your brand and we’ve got it looking good at Dickies.com
