Job Description

Responsibilities

We’re looking for big thinkers. Big ideas are the name of the game. Whether it’s coming up with campaigns for new business pitches, uber-creative ideas for competitive projects or highly-conceptual thinking for work in need of a refresh; we want pie-in-sky, “man that’s cool” thinking, presenting and executing.
This position is solely based around creativity and coming up with ideas others can’t. We need innovation, originality and craftsmanship.
And it’s not just ideas on paper. These ideas need to sing. Brought to life with art direction and pizazz that’s impossible to ignore. Scripts, events, decks…you need to be able to whip up and nuance work that answers any opportunity that comes your way.
- More than just layouts, we want exploration and execution.
- More than just campaigns, but work that can flex and wow.
- More than just presentations, creative territories that have legs and guts.
Oh and did we mention, social, social, social?
If you can come up with ideas that have a life all their own, inspire others to do the same and get work in the client’s eyes and over the finish line, you’re perfect for this role…and your portfolio will thank you.
