If we were bragging we'd say, “Come join a brand that will have you talk about your body hair in no time and feel good about sharing your routine with the entire world and even the Starbucks barista who only asked for your name, but is now stuck listening to your Netflix and toe wax story." but bragging isn't our thing, so we'll just say, “Flamingo in New York, USA is hiring a SR DESIGNER & ART DIRECTOR."
