Full Job Description
Specifically, we are looking for an Associate Creative Director, who can concept, craft and produce creative ideas across multiple accounts and projects. You must be self-motivated, detailed, and dedicated to bringing in ideas that are earned centric and social by design. You will be client-facing and collaborate with a cross-capability team to sell in work that solves real business problems.

This is not a plug-and-play role. As an earned-first agency, we shape our ideas around the story we want to tell-not the media plan. What we sell in shifts with every brief - one day it's a reactive TikTok idea, the next it's a 360 campaign with PR, influencer, digital, and brand film components. We're looking for sharp thinkers and culture junkies who thrive in creative chaos.

You should be:
  • A social-first thinker fluent in TikTok, Instagram, apps we've never heard of, and niche internet subcultures
  • Strategic and collaborative, with a proven track record of big ideas and big wins
  • Experienced in 360 campaigns with an earned-first mindset
  • Obsessed with making smart, standout, award-winning work
  • Ego-free, self-starting, and deeply team-oriented

This is a chance to work with a best-in-class creative crew that's picked up wins all the way to Cannes. If you're ready to do the best work of your life-we'd love to meet you.

Responsibilities:
  • Work in partnership with an Associate Creative Director, Art and at the direction of creative leadership to concept and plan execution of integrated campaigns and programs across a wide range of media and platforms, especially social, digital, video, experiences and content

  • Work in concert with a wide range of specialties including account, strategy, project management, and influencer
  • Develop tactics which bring creative concepts to life and achieve program objectives
  • Manage multiple jobs simultaneously; managing and providing direction to other team members as needed
  • Work closely with a project manager and production partners to schedule projects and coordinate production
  • Prepare and present client creative presentations; Drive client approval process
  • Work effectively with external vendors and internal colleagues to complete projects within timeframe and budget


Basic Qualifications:
  • At least 6 years' experience managing day-to-day changes at every level of detail and handling them with a team oriented, entrepreneurial spirit
  • A bachelor's degree, preferably in Fine Arts, Advertising or Graphic Design or equivalent experience


Additional qualifications include:
  • Experience managing day-to-day changes at every level of detail and handling them with a team oriented, entrepreneurial spirit
