Interactive Strategies is a full-service digital agency in Washington, DC. We work with nonprofits, associations, and mission-driven organizations on the things that matter most to them — web, brand identity, social ads, digital campaigns, fundraising, and advocacy. The work is varied, and so is the creative talent we draw on to do it. 

We keep an active roster of freelance creatives to call on when the right project comes along, and we're looking to expand it.

Skills we're looking for

Our creative work spans a wide range — and we don't expect any one person to cover all of it. We look for designers with a strong aesthetic sensibility, an understanding of brand identity, and a passion for creating work that is both beautiful and effective.  

If you've worked in one or more of these areas, we want to hear from you: 

• UX and web design — you bring unique, yet functional solutions to a website’s most common problems  

• Brand identity — you can develop and extend a brand’s identity across visual brand systems, logos, and style guides 

• Digital marketing and campaign design — you develop relevant designs that are fresh, timely and stop the scroll on social media, in inboxes, and on the web 

• Fundraising and advocacy creative — you create designs that move people to act 

• Illustration — you bring a story to life using your original work  

• Motion and animation — you catch attention, or tell a more complete story, using movement  

Qualities you bring to the table

• Creative. You bring imagination and fresh ideas; you create works of art that inspire and engage. 

• Strategic. You deliver more than great design; you craft elegant user experiences that meet our clients’ important goals. 

• Innovative. You push boundaries and implement innovative techniques. 

• Committed. You value diverse perspectives and bring that awareness to the work — in the stories you tell, the images you elevate, and the teams you're part of. 

• Passionate. You love what you do. 

• Curious. You’re constantly seeking new techniques and approaches to advance your skills. 

• Friendly. You’re a people person who enjoys collaborating and works well with others.
