  • Cross-functional collaboration with designers, editors, motion designers, and AI tools to execute and iterate.

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

  • You’ve 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. You’ve thought about hooks, fatigue, iteration, platform mechanics. You read ad teardowns. You watch ads and have opinions about what’s working before you check the metrics.
  • You’re 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 you’re a recent grad of a portfolio or design program (Brandcenter, Miami Ad School, SVA, FIT, Parsons, Pratt, Newhouse, RISD, equivalent) OR you’ve spent the last 1–3 years building an audience and learning to make things people stop for.
  • You live in NYC or you’re moving for this. This fellowship is in person.
