Own the print and visual identity for SocialMedia.org, WordofMouth.org, and
our other brands at GasPedal. We are looking for someone to come on board
as a full-time on-site freelancer for six weeks. If we work well together,
we'll make it a permanent job with benefits.

We are looking for a passionate, talented, and friendly designer to take
over our print, web, and WordPress design. We've just finished rebuilding
our brands -- and you get to oll out the new look. We're a team that
appreciates great design and user experience, and we need your help to do
this right. Your job is to extend the look to all of our new projects with
consistency and creativity.

You'll get to work on a wide variety of projects (including marketing

improvement, and extension. The job is equal parts print and web, with a
lot of WordPress design. You don't need to be a developer, but you need
solid WordPress theming and CSS skills.

Here's why this job is great: You're going to get to do everything. You'll
own the design for five great-looking brands, each with their own websites,
print design, social media sites, blogs, and events. You get to determine
each look, improve it, and make it amazing. Every day you'll get to work on
a new variety of projects and challenges -- while being the person who
ensures that each brand stays strong and clean. We collaborate -- a lot --
so you should enjoy working with a team. There is non-stop brainstorming,
creative feedback, and experimentation.

Learn all about our company culture at gaspedal.com/life. We're quirky, so

We spend our days helping the good guys win. We love to serve our

that cranks out astonishingly good work every day. We don't know it all,
but we're figuring it out together and having a great time doing it.

*Who we are*

GasPedal is the company that manages WordofMouth.org and SocialMedia.org.

Businesses everywhere are beginning to realize that honest, ethical
customer love is the most powerful kind of marketing. They are learning to
listen, to obsess over customer experience, to treat people like people, to
value values, to respect the environment, to be part of the community -- to
be nice.

We teach them how to do it.

We believe that this is good for society -- and that it's a profitable
business strategy. Companies that get their customers for free through the
power of word of mouth have a fundamental competitive advantage over those
that use expensive marketing to chase fleeing customers. Smart companies
reinvest those savings in service, support, and innovation -- putting them
even further ahead.

This is a dream job if you're interested in social media, amazing customer
service, or the future of marketing. You won't just be reading about the
visionaries. You'll be working with them to make the future more ethical
and effective. Stop talking about this stuff -- do something about it.

this exciting adventure.
