Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You’re not just a trusted resource within the creative department, you’re a go-to resource across departments. When you’re on a brief, everyone knows you will deliver.
  • You’re working more collaboratively across departments, partnering with strategy beyond the brief to get to more insightful ideas, partnering with account to bulletproof ideas before they go to client.
  • We can see the impact of your work on the overall output of the agency.
  • You don’t just come up with great ideas, you also craft the story around how to sell that idea.
  • You’re comfortable thinking way up high at the brand platform level all the way down to the tactical level. You’re comfortable across all media — film, activation, social, innovation, digital, ecomm, experiential, whatever.
  • You’re good at presenting ideas, internally and externally.
  • You’re comfortable being in front of clients. You’re starting to build relationships with them, because at the end of the day, clients don’t really buy ideas — they buy the people behind the ideas.
  • You’re starting to develop your x-factor. Your superpower. Your brand. The thing that makes you special.
  • You’re starting to mentor the younger creatives around you, whether you realize it or not. Those sponges are soaking up you’re work, your style, your attitude… so you act accordingly.
  • Quality of Ideas
