Hear ye, hear ye. Humdinger & Sons is looking for a Creative Director to help lead the charge on some seriously good work for some very smart global tech clients.

You will lead creative across multiple accounts, shaping ideas, guiding the work, and pushing it to where it needs to go. This is a role for someone with strong visual instincts, a clear point of view, and the ability to elevate both the thinking and the craft across every project.

You should still enjoy making the work, but more importantly, know where it needs to go and how to get it there.

Who You Are:

• You’ve got 7 to 10 years of agency experience and a portfolio that shows strong thinking and serious craft.
• You have a design background and a sharp eye for what makes work feel right, not just look good.
• You are comfortable leading ideas, shaping direction, and presenting work to both teams and clients.
• You enjoy mentoring designers and helping others level up.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead creative direction across multiple client accounts.
• Own the visual direction and help shape storytelling and copy.
• Collaborate with writers, designers, motion artists, and account teams to develop clear, compelling ideas.
• Present work internally and externally with confidence.
• Push the work until it is great.

What You’ll Need:

• 7 to 10 years of agency experience.
• A strong portfolio showing campaign thinking and digital execution.
• Confidence guiding both visual and verbal creative direction.
• Experience mentoring and guiding creative teams.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast moving environment.
• This is an on site role in our North Loop Minneapolis office, with some flexibility.

AI and Emerging Creative Tools:

• Humdinger actively integrates AI image generation and emerging creative tools into our design and motion workflow. Familiarity is required. You don’t need to be a power user, but you should understand how these tools fit into modern creative workflows and be comfortable working in a team that uses them as part of the process.

Bonus Points:

• Motion or 3D experience.
• Front end or interactive knowledge.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Work with some of the most interesting startups and tech companies in the world.
• Great benefits and profit sharing.
• A fun, collaborative crew in our North Loop office.
• Real opportunity to shape the work and the future of Humdinger.
