Graphic Designer - CAG

Macho Marketing is a dynamic, full-service marketing agency dedicated to serving our primary client, The Continental Automotive Group, representing eight premier dealerships in the Austin area. Our in-house creative team produces a high volume of marketing materials across print, digital, web, billboards, television, social media, and live events.

We are seeking a talented, detail-oriented Graphic Designer with strong Adobe InDesign skills and a passion for professional layout design to join our growing creative team.

As a Graphic Designer at Macho Marketing, you'll create polished, engaging marketing materials for multiple automotive brands. While projects span both print and digital media, a significant focus of this position is layout design, typography, and the production of professional, print-ready materials using Adobe InDesign.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable designing an eye-catching advertisement and organizing complex information into a clean, visually compelling multipage document. You understand how to balance creativity with functionality, maintain consistency across branded materials, and deliver accurate, production-ready designs.

You'll collaborate with our internal marketing team and dealership stakeholders to bring projects from concept to completion, often managing multiple assignments in a fast-paced environment.

• Layout & Publication Design: Design professional print and digital materials, including multipage brochures, booklets, presentations, reports, direct mail pieces, promotional flyers, and other marketing collateral, with a strong emphasis on Adobe InDesign.
• Typography & Information Design: Organize text, imagery, tables, and complex information into clean, cohesive layouts that prioritize readability, visual hierarchy, and brand consistency.
• Marketing & Advertising Design: Create engaging assets for a variety of marketing channels, including digital advertisements, social media, billboards, point-of-purchase displays, and email campaigns.
• Brand Consistency: Apply and maintain established brand guidelines across multiple automotive manufacturers while adapting designs to individual dealership needs.
• Print Production: Prepare accurate, production-ready files for commercial printing, including proper bleeds, margins, color modes, image resolution, and file packaging.
• Client Collaboration: Work directly with dealership stakeholders to understand project objectives, present creative solutions, and incorporate feedback into effective designs.
• Project Management: Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring accuracy, organization, and timely delivery in a high-volume creative environment.
• Vendor Coordination: Collaborate with commercial printers and other external partners to ensure final materials meet production specifications.
• Cross-Functional Support: Assist the broader marketing team with creative initiatives, events, and special projects as needed.

• Experience: 2–4 years of professional graphic design experience, with demonstrated experience in print, layout, and marketing collateral design. Agency or automotive industry experience is a plus.
• Education: Degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Adobe InDesign – Required: Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign, including multipage document creation, parent pages, paragraph and character styles, grids, text formatting, and document organization.
• Layout & Typography: Excellent understanding of typography, spacing, alignment, composition, visual hierarchy, and information organization.
• Adobe Creative Cloud: Strong working proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, with the ability to integrate assets across Adobe applications.
• Print Production: Experience preparing professional files for commercial printing, including bleeds, CMYK color, preflight checks, and packaged files.
• Digital/Web Skills: Familiarity with digital marketing design, web-based design principles, and HTML is a plus.

• Portfolio: A professional portfolio demonstrating strong layout, typography, and print design skills is required. Applicants must include at least two examples of multipage layouts or publications created using Adobe InDesign. Portfolios consisting exclusively of social media graphics, illustrations, logos, or digital artwork will not meet the requirements for this position.
• Attention to Detail: Exceptional eye for alignment, spacing, consistency, typography, and accuracy. Able to identify and correct design inconsistencies before final production.
• Versatility: Comfortable working within established brand guidelines while also contributing original creative ideas when appropriate.
• Communication: Strong verbal and visual communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams, dealership leadership, and external vendors.
• Organization: Highly organized, adaptable, and capable of balancing multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Professionalism: Maintains high professional standards while representing the agency and its clients.
• Logistics: Must be at least 18 years of age and hold a valid driver's license for at least one year. Travel to local dealerships will be required.
