WE OVER ME
It’s about the team, not me or any individual. We’re stronger together, and we need each other to get where we want to go. Together, we’ll go further than we can go alone.
With diverse perspectives, a focus on family, and entrepreneurial mindsets, we strive to do business with honesty and integrity.
Not to sound cliche, but Fortress is a family. Not just our internal team, but it extends to our clients, too. The collaboration between energized, dedicated individuals creates a unique experience that produces stunning results.
– Heather, Vice President of Operations
We work with so many amazing clients, and helping them be successful is what drives us. Every project is different and presents us with new challenges. Part of the culture here is to never get comfortable and to always be learning. I feel privileged to be able to come to work and use my creativity every day.
– Aubin, Creative Director
It’s about the team, not me or any individual. We’re stronger together, and we need each other to get where we want to go. Together, we’ll go further than we can go alone.
Our clients’ success is our success. When they succeed, we succeed. Treat every project you own, as if your own success is dependent upon it because it is.
Creativity is limitless and we should always be pursuing it in all that we do. Creativity isn’t just for designers, it’s for every one of us to incorporate into our daily work.
Be willing and able to adapt. Sometimes things can be unpredictable, and we must remain flexible and adaptable.
Never settle. Always strive to be better at what you do. Wear that chip on your shoulder. Learn, learn, learn. Our industry is always changing, so we must always be up on the latest technology and trends.
Work-life balance is key and taken seriously here. Taking care of business at home means you can take care of business efficiently and effectively here. We understand that sometimes you have to take care of life first.
Remember that the minute you think you’re at the top of the mountain and can stop to rest, someone is coming up behind you, ready to take your spot.
Treat everything—your space, your colleagues, your work, everything—as if you’re the owner.
After a decade in business, what I’m most proud of is the team that we have, the diverse backgrounds and skills, the passion that they put into the work every single day, and our obsession with our clients’ success.
Joel Mathew,
CEO & Founder
Fortress is a fast-growing digital marketing and branding agency headquartered in Chicago that has worked with clients ranging from global corporations like Nike, Jordan, All-State, Acura, athletes, and celebrities like Kevin Hart, Steph Curry, prestigious universities, startups, and everyone in between. We believe in putting family first, being team players, staying humble, and being obsessed with our clients’ success. We provide a unique and energetic culture that fosters creativity and camaraderie.
We’re currently seeking a full-time Senior Designer to join the team and work out of our Chicago, IL office. The right person for this position sees the bigger picture while remaining passionate about the details.
You’re knowledgeable and skilled in Web, Branding, large-scale marketing campaigns, and more. You’re a jack of all trades in creative software, but you also have a passion for design beyond the screen. You understand that great design is in the nuance—that subtle cultural references should be woven into the things you create and every project should be approached with the end-user at the center of it. You love working on a team with diverse perspectives and you’re willing to learn from as well as build up those around you. At the core, you’re a problem solver with a knack for making things look good.
