WANTED: Chicago Firm With Magazine Design Experience

Marketing News, the flagship publication of the American Marketing Association, is looking for a Chicago-area firm with magazine design experience to handle design work for a period of 6 months to a year beginning at the start of 2009. Marketing News is a tabloid published 20 times a year, with a minimum issue size of 32 pages and several issues a year that are considerably larger. It underwent a major redesign a year ago. We’re looking for a design team that can work within our design parameters in a highly creative way that will appeal to our 23,000+ marketer-readers. We want high levels of creativity under deadline pressure and visual elements that will enhance our editorial content and draw our readers to our stories.

Please send three samples of magazine design work you’ve done and a brief overview of your firm to Marketing News’ editorial director, John N. Frank, at jfrank@ama.org
