Responsibilities

• Concept and sell integrated campaigns: social, digital, video, experiential, content, whatever the idea needs. Sometimes (but not always) with an ACD, Copy partner
• Think up brilliant ideas that earn attention on their own merit, then build the endless decks it takes to get them through client approval. There's gonna be so many decks
• Own the art, obviously. But at the ACD level, the art is only part of it. We want someone with real opinions on the cast, the cut, the track, the type, the thumbnail, the way it feeeeeeels, man, when you're scrolling past it at 2am. Know which of those opinions to say out loud, and when, while never losing sight of the pixel width requirements.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with account, strategy, influencer, and production, ensuring that your work consistently adheres to Earned Acceleration Principals. In an integrated shop like Edelman, your ideas only survive with support from other departments. You gotta sell the whole team on your dream!
• Juggle several projects at once, giving direction to the jr. team around you while managing up to a handful of creative leaders across who won't always agree, and are rarely in the same room
• Keep the idea sharp through the twists and turns of production, comms planning, launch, and no less than two client freakouts
• Take a long weekend on a quiet lake somewhere, then come back and get straight to work on the case study while it's all still fresh, so everyone knows how brilliant your idea was and how well it worked

Requirements

• 6+ years in a creative role, with a track record of ideas that made it into the wild
• Comfort managing details and pivots, with an entrepreneurial streak
• A portfolio link! Applications without one won't be considered
• A bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience that's weird and/or interesting
• AI fluency, and a very strong opinion on the difference between smart AI use and work slop

Benefits

• DJEH offers a wide range of benefits: medical and dental insurance, vision, 401K, life insurance, disability insurance, paid time off, travel assistance and wellness programing.
