YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Make it up. Then make it happen.
Job #1 is to bring the freshest, most inspired, most unexpected thinking that solves a client’s problem. Job #2 is to use every creative skill you have to bring your ideas to life. From comps, to stick figure animations, to memes, puppet shows…whatever your idea takes to make it absolutely impossible for a client not to buy it.
- Collaborate with your strategist, media, digital and account teams to ensure your work is always relevant, strategically sound and headline worthy.
- Communicate your ideas to the clients with clarity, strategic insight and passion.
- Hunt for and share out with the rest of the team what’s breaking in culture BEFORE it breaks in culture.
- Proactive thinking. You’re always bringing ideas because you know not every opportunity lives within the brief.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 10 years’ experience in advertising, social, or digital media. Knowledge of earned media is a plus.
- 109% internet fluency. You know the ins and outs of social media, speak the language of the internet, have gone down YouTube rabbit holes for multiple hours in a row, have uploaded multiple Tik Tok videos and have explored without fear the inner depths of Reddit.
- Art Director: You’re a wizard in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator and have an understanding of visual storytelling.
- Writer: You’re a wizard at using words to communicate emotion and inciting people to hit that share button.
- You’re a genuinely nice person who brings energy every single day to your work and to the agency.
