3D, After Effects or video editing experience a major plus.

We work hard. We work fast. We offer the usual: reasonably flexible schedules, competitive salaries and health/medical benefits. On top of that, our brand new Portland studio is located in the White Stag Block (heart of Old Town) where we enjoy ping pong, Nerf hoops and the smooth sound of the Max train outside our window.

Struck/Axiom is a full-serve hybrid agency with offices in Portland, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. We do work for clients of all shapes and sizes (adidas Global, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Quaker Oats, Utah Travel, BFGoodrich, Old Spice) and there's no telling what we'll be up to next. Interested?
