Canada’s Inaugural Small Agency of the Year

Careers

We work hard to stay small, which means we are deliberately low on bureaucracy and deliberately high on collaboration, with a passion for solving complex problems, strategically and creatively.

We have one of the strongest advertising and branding teams in Canada. And not accidentally, they include some of the nicest people you’re likely going to find anywhere. They care about each other and about the work. And here at the most easterly point in North America, in one of the most creative places in Canada, we take that to heart.

If this sounds like the kind of place you’d like to work, we’d love for you to drop us a line at careers@targetmarketing.ca and say hello. If something comes up that’s a fit, we’ll be in touch.

Current Openings

• Creatives Wanted

  Creatives Wanted for Canada’s Inaugural Small Agency of the Year.

  Target, Canada’s Inaugural Small Agency of the Year, is looking for Creatives. Senior Art Directors, established Designers, and seasoned Creative Directors — we’re talking to you.

  We’re looking for people who love making their Moms proud, just as much as they love making incredible ideas come to life and winning shiny trophies. Something we have plenty of, by the way, London International Awards to Gold Lions. In fact, we’re just one of 16 agencies in Canada to win a Gold Lion.

  Uniquely positioned in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador — widely known as the most creative city in Canada — we proudly consider ourselves outsiders from typical ad agencies. Being independently owned and operated, we’re about as far from a multinational and bureaucracy as you can get. We’re a tight family of strategists, writers, designers, producers, innovators, planners, and creative problem solvers. We strongly believe that creative is not a department on a business card – it’s a way of seeing the world. 

  So, if you’d like to see the world our way, drop us a line at careers@targetmarketing.ca. We’d love to chat.

• Senior Art Director

  Senior Art Director needed for Canada’s Inaugural Small Agency of The Year.

  Not just any Senior Art Director, though. We’re looking for a great human being equipped with the talent and insight to wow our clients, while at the same time keep us winning all those big shiny awards. After all, we all want to make our moms proud, don’t we?
  
  The best part is that you’ll be working in one of North America’s most creative cities — St. John’s is an off-kilter place, bursting with writers, storytellers, musicians, and artists of all stripes. There are worse ways to spend your workday than inside a restored heritage building, mere steps from historic St. John’s Harbour.
  
  Target, now entering its 40th year, is a proudly independent creative ad agency, and is perhaps best known for its brand and advertising campaigns for Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism. Since 2005, Find Yourself has become widely recognized as the most successful and most awarded tourism and destination marketing campaign in North America.
  
  So, what do you say, want to come help us win Small Agency of The Year again in 2021?
  
  (Act now, and we’ll throw in your very own time zone.)
  
  

• Social Media Specialist

  Are you an expert at getting the word out? Do you know your way around the latest social media channels?  

  Target Marketing & Communications is Atlantic Canada’s most awarded full-service advertising agency and Canada’s inaugural Small Agency of the Year, and our media team is looking for a Social Media Specialist. Someone to take the lead on our earned and owned media communications efforts on behalf of Target and our clients including Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism. We’re not talking the occasional Facebook post or tweet; we need the whole package, from concept and content creation, to writing and execution, to analytics and maintenance. If you’re looking for a dynamic, rewarding, and fun atmosphere to work and learn in, then we want to hear from you. 

  Our philosophy is simple: Hire the best people. Select the best clients. Do the best work. Have fun. And always challenge conventional thinking. After all, we know that great advertising and branding have nothing to do with agency size or geography, and everything to do with passion and great ideas. If you feel like we’re the right fit for you, drop us a line at careers@targetmarketing.ca.

• Web Developer

  We’re looking for a Web Developer that’s proficient in modern web methodologies: HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript (React). You should also be familiar with build tools like CSS preprocessors, Git and Node.js. PHP and SQL would be nice too. You work well under pressure, play well with others, and most importantly, you have a knack for creative problem solving. You always deliver on time. And your attention to detail is unrivalled. 
  
  What’s in it for you? Ample opportunities to create industry-leading digital experiences. And plenty of perks. Like education opportunities to help refine your craft. A fitness allowance to help keep your work-life balance, well, balanced. There might even be the chance to have your work recognized internationally at award shows like The Webbys, Applied Arts, Communication Arts, or Cannes. Did we mention the beer fridge? It’s well-stocked. 
  
  Truth to be told, we’ve been at this for a while. So, our philosophy is simple: Hire the best people. Select the best clients. Do the best work. If you feel like we’re the right fit for you, drop us a line at careers@targetmarketing.ca.
