THE ROLE

We are looking for a seasoned Creative Director in search of an opportunity to produce the best work of their careers while helping creative teams grow through strong management and development. A love of sport is preferred.

WE ARE

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what's trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing.

  • Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks. (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked.)

  • Lead and manage teams of creatives
  • Prioritize and delegate work to maintain timelines and budgets while delivering best-in-class work
  • Help evaluate, refine, and ultimately approve internal creative briefs
  • Conceptualize new platform, campaign on content ideas based on strategic insights
  • Ideate executional approaches inspired by innovations and contemporary marketing trends
  • Give clear and actionable feedback to team members based on a deep understanding of their skill sets and creative tools
  • Get hands-dirty with executional elements as needed
  • Own and manage the building of pitch and concept decks from start-to-finish, including write-ups, references and custom visual comps
  • Present to large groups of people with passion and poise
  • Clearly and deftly communicate concepts to clients, selling in the strongest ideas

Requirements For This Role

  • You have a proven track record of creating breakthrough social first content.
  • You speak culture. You know who, where, when, and why in film, music, design, streetwear, celebrity, sport, trends. Your friends turn to you to explain what's happening on TikTok, Instagram, and other social media.
  • You understand how to be authentically native on social platforms via short-form video, motion graphics, trending sounds, etc.
  • You are cool and focused under pressure and in the face of a high volume of deliverables
  • You are a strong communicator who treats co-workers and clients with empathy and respect
