Guest Speaker: Dave Luhr - Chief Operating Officer
Students: $5 Members: $10 Non-Members: $15
Seating is limited: Call to reserve space 847-3280
Wieden + Kennedy was created to be a different type of advertising agency: one where people come to do the best work of their careers.
After twenty years we are still true to that mission and dream. That is why we have remained independent, even as large corporations have gobbled up our creative brethren around the globe. That is why we offer a diversity of talent unequaled by any other agency.
Yes, as you probably expect, we have some of the most talented, creative, wildly brilliant writers, art directors and creative directors to be found anywhere. However, what you may not realize is that we also have a staff of brilliant strategic thinkers, who are equally dedicated to developing the next great idea for making
your brand relevant and exciting to your market. This same philosophy drives our media group, which not only excels at traditional tasks of planning and buying, but also constantly pursues and evaluates new opportunities to reach people in meaningful ways.
We are creative, but creative within a discipline. Creative for a reason.
Creative to make our clients more successful.

NOISE – Senior Writer, Production Artist/HTML Engineer and Account Leader
NOISE Branding Communications is looking for…
Senior Writer
We’ve got too many blank computer pages and not enough fingers connected to savvy brains to fill them with words. Or, in other words: NOISE Branding Communications seeks what every agency drools over – an extremely creative, smart, self-motivated and (dare we ask?) relatively egoless writer who can deliver the real deal in concept, headline, sell copy, collateral copy, broadcast, and even internet copy that sells. We’re not so much about your quantity of experience as we are the quality of your output. In return, we’ll offer you a competitive salary, health and dental, 401k, performance incentives, new business incentives and the opportunity to work on a great stable of cool clients, including occasional work for and possible travel to our Southwest Florida island office. Resume, cover letter, three samples and why you’re the one to: John Sprecher at johns@make-noise.com and note “I’M THE WRITER” in the subject line. This is a full-time position, though freelancers are also welcome. EOE.
Production Artist/HTML Engineer
Even with our shortage of words, we’re somehow too busy to keep up with all the great graphics that go out of here. As a result, NOISE Branding Communications also seeks a freelance or part-time production artist to assist and improve our traffic flow. We’ll ask you to be smart, fast, efficient, self-disciplined, motivated, skilled at the graphics programs you need to know (including InDesign) and extremely detail driven and production accurate. A major plus for you: the talent to program HTML for our interactive division, Back|Slash. The upside for you is competitive wages, performance incentives and, if you like, tasty coffee. Resume, cover letter, three samples and why you’re the one to: johns@make-noise.com and note “I’M THE ARTIST” in the subject line. EOE.
Account Leader
Fueling all this demand is all the great work our current account leaders keep acquiring through existing client growth and new business – but we’re surrounded by alligators and they’re up to a dangerous level. Therefore, NOISE Branding Communications also seeks a quality account leader who’s passionate, highly intelligent, strategic, detailed, motivated by excellence, personable, motivated by success, with a backbone to sell and a funnybone to get through the days. You’d be responsible for everything from strategic planning to day-to-day account supervision to interaction with creative/PR/media to new business. If you have health care or travel/tourism experience, point it out. We’ll pay you well, including health and dental, 401k, profit sharing, performance incentives and new business rewards, plus a chance to service clients throughout the US and business travel to Florida. Resume, cover letter, details of your past account responsibilities and successes, plus a summary paragraph in 100 words or less why you’re the one to: johns@make-noise.com and maryp@make-noise.com and note “I’M THE LEADER” in the subject line.
