Job Summary

Own the end-to-end creative concept and fast iteration cycle for performance-driven campaigns, from hooks to live execution across video, static, and AI-enabled formats.

  • Concept to live: own rapid concepting, scripting, storyboarding, and design direction for multi-format assets.
  • Collaboration and execution: partner with designers, editors, motion designers, and AI tools to ship work quickly.
  • New business and iteration: contribute to pitches and own critical sections, then test publicly and iterate in days.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Pitch concepts daily. Ship work weekly.
  • Write scripts, draft storyboards, set design direction across video, static, and AI-generated formats.
  • Work with a team of designers, editors, motion designers, and AI tools to execute your concepts.
  • Sit in on new business pitches and own meaningful sections of the work.
  • Watch your work go live within days, not months. Be wrong publicly. Iterate fast.

Requirements

  • Youve made something real. Maybe a TikTok account that grew past 5K followers because the content was actually good. Maybe a Substack. Maybe a spec campaign for a brand you love that they never asked for. The work is public and shows your taste.
  • You can write a hook in 90 seconds that makes someone stop scrolling — and you can articulate why it works.
  • You think performance creative is interesting in itself. Youve thought about hooks, fatigue, iteration, platform mechanics. You read ad teardowns. You watch ads and have opinions about whats working before you check the metrics.
  • Youre already using AI tools in your creative workflow. Midjourney, Runway, Sora, ElevenLabs, Veo, whichever — and you have strong opinions about which are real and which are hype.
  • Either youre a recent grad of a portfolio or design program (Brandcenter, Miami Ad School, SVA, FIT, Parsons, Pratt, Newhouse, RISD, equivalent) OR youve spent the last 1–3 years building an audience and learning to make things people stop for.
  • You live in NYC or youre moving for this. This fellowship is in person.
