Associate Creative Director

Responsibilities

• Under the guidance of your Creative Director, concept and lead integrated marketing campaigns— across video, digital, social, OOH, and beyond — from the first brief to final delivery.
• Direct video creative end to end: concept boards, working with copy partners on scripts, shot lists, and seeing it through production and post.
• Build tight, generative partnerships with copywriters — the best ideas come from both of you at once.
• Bring unexpected thinking to every brief and push the work past the obvious answer.
• Apply and occasionally extend brand guidelines in service of great campaigns — you know how to work within a system without being limited by it.
• Present and defend your work with confidence and strategic clarity, to internal teams and clients alike.
• Mentor junior creatives and help raise the creative bar across the team.

Requirements

• 8–10 years of agency experience, including significant time at the Senior Art Director level.
• A portfolio that shows strong campaign thinking across video and integrated channels — not just beautiful design.
• Proven ability to concept and co-create with copywriters, with campaign work as evidence.
• Experience directing video: from concepting through production and post, whether TV, digital film, or social content.
• Comfort working on large, complex brand accounts with rigorous brand standards — financial services or similarly high-stakes categories a plus.
• A campaign-first mindset — your portfolio leads with ideas that work in the market, not just on a page.
• Strong typography, composition, and art direction skills; able to flex across visual styles.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.
• A collaborative spirit and a genuine love for the work.
