JOB OVERVIEW

About the work

Trio Ad Group is a US advertising agency in Des Moines, Iowa. We produce print and packaging for five brand kits: a healthcare company, an IT services company, a nonprofit health center, and two consumer brands. The next two months are print-heavy. You will build finished, print-ready files from locked copy and approved direction, and you will own pre-press so nothing comes back from the printer.

What you will produce

Trade-show backdrops on the printer's own templates: backlit fabric panels, counter wraps, CMYK, bleed and safe zones, type outlined, artwork kept off the seams
Packaging: a gatefold on a supplied dieline, and box art as it comes
One-pagers, flyers, trifolds, brochures, and an event invitation suite
A 9x9 game-board handout, full color front, one color back
Letterhead, business cards, tee art, koozie art, a truck decal
Canva templates a client's own team will run after you build them
Static ad creative, resized across placements
What you must have

Five or more years producing print for real printers, with proofs you checked yourself
Pre-press you can show: dielines, bleed and safe, CMYK and SWOP builds, outlined type, PDF/X exports, packaged native files
InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop at a professional level. Canva for templates.
English you write clearly. You will read a brief, ask questions in writing, and flag problems before they ship.
The discipline to work from a locked brief: copy does not change, the brand kit is the law, and you flag what breaks instead of fixing it quietly
Reliable internet, a backup for outages, and a machine that runs the Adobe suite without lag
How we work

One brief per job: dimensions, locked copy, the brand kit, and the printer's spec
First draft, then up to two revision rounds, reviewed in our portal
Final delivery as a print-ready package
Weekly hours agreed in advance. Invoice every two weeks, paid on time.
You sign a contractor agreement (the work belongs to Trio on payment, client material stays confidential) and one client NDA
You work from brand kits, locked copy, and dimensions. No client platforms, no client data.
How to apply

Start your message with the word DIELINE so I know you read this. Then send:

Three print pieces you produced, each with the printer's spec it was built to
One packaging or large-format piece, with the dieline or template you built it on
Your hourly rate and the hours you can hold in US Central time
Your internet speed and your backup plan for outages
Applications without the word DIELINE and the four items get no reply.
