Consider the Last Frontier as the greatest career springboard of your lifetime. We’re talking about the biggest little market on the continent, with enough everyday adventure to turn your creative crank. We are seeking an additional creative director who can assimilate into our dynamic workspace in the heart of Anchorage while maintaining your own edge. You must be able to deftly navigate a market audience that is at once ruggedly independent and fiercely community loyal.
About us: Resident in Anchorage for more than 30 years, the Nerland Agency is a 25+ person integrated advertising agency placing more media than anyone else in the state of Alaska.

Our portfolio includes a blend of TV, radio, print advertising, and diverse range of print design. We have an in-house edit suite for TV, a recording booth for radio, and a design studio with the latest tools to get the job done right.
About you: You are a writer with enough design sensibility to know what good is. You are adaptable to long-range campaigns and the occasional one-off. You have a portfolio of advertising work that we can look at, and you can talk about the results. You sit up straight, can win over a room of clients with your presentation style, and know where your sources of inspiration lie. You are witty. You lack pretense. You have the moxie to apply for a job that might challenge you in such a way that you’ll want to run all the way home, but you won’t. Cause you’re strong. Maybe even underestimated.
