Connelly Partners Manifesto:

Empathy is, on human level, understanding and embracing how other people feel. Empathy is the art of seeing the world not from your perspective, but from someone else’s. Simple enough. Yet in our world and culture dominated by self-interest and narcissism, empathy is a pause not practiced by many. Here at Connelly Partners empathy is a mandated starting point for marketing that differentiates our company and perspective.

Our mission is to understand how people feel and determine their values. And then position the brands we work for as having shared values with the customers they sell to. What’s important to you is important to us. That’s Active Empathy. That’s also

marketing gold. It is not enough to create marketing that is disruptive to be disruptive, or entertaining to be entertaining. We aspire for something deeper and more lasting. A connection between client and customer based on shared values. And the ability to do that is what our client’s value about us.

CREATIVE DEPARTMENT MISSION

We are the ideators first, content creators second. we concept, curate and shepherd ideas for our clients through all media channels. We lead discussions around ideas, we welcome them from anyone and everyone and we craft executions to

differentiate our clients from their competition. It is these big ideas that differentiate US from our competition. All that we do links to empathic insights and the demonstration of shared values.

ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES

Digital Designer

Connelly Partners is looking for a digital designer with 4-5 year’s experience to join our already robust creative team. We are looking for people who eat, breathe and think digital media. Designers who might scare us with their thinking and blow us away with

their execution. Having the ability and desire to jump over the fence and work on more traditional media like logo design, print, video and broadcast is a huge plus. Candidates must align with our company values of empathy in the way they work, and they way

they design a user experience.

A day in the life of a digital designer at CP:

8:30 am: You have “music day”. This is a Connelly Partners tradition. You are in charge of music for the agency speakers for the day. Go nuts, no pressure but show us what you’ve got. 
8:35am: Meet with the Wellness team for a cool new website that needs to be created 
9:00am: Begin concepting session with a copywriter to work on ideas for said website. You come up with an app too. Bonus. 
10:30: Start working on the site map with our UX designer. You get so excited about this that you both duck away at the local “Buttery” coffee shop to fuel up and keep going. 
12:00: You can’t stop thinking so you work a little longer on your computer to map out some visual concepts despite the fact you are really starting to get hungry. 
1:00pm: Your stomach can’t take it anymore, so you head to either walk to the brand new 10,000 sq foot Whole Foods to enjoy something delicious, or take a turn at any of the local and delicious most-talked-about South End restaurants. 
2:00pm: As your working away at designs, you’re also answering emails about how awesome your music day is. 
2:30pm: You get pulled into a briefing for an entirely new job and new space. This time travel. An app for a new hotel that the Four Seasons is opening. 
3:00-4:30: You plug away at either job. Both are important. Both are cool as hell. Your energy level is increasing because of this. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “These people are so nice, the other shoe is bound to drop!” *it doesn’t. 
4:30-6pm: You touch base with your creative partner to discuss the ideas and the plan before tomorrow. You work on more together and come up with something else to show the Creative Director the following day (or days). 
7:00: You are home and enjoying dinner, your favorite TV show or out with a friend.

Steve Connelly is known to say “If you don’t have a life outside of this place, you are useless to me” So you take that to heart.

11:00: You’re still thinking about it. You can’t help it. It’s too cool.
