Sr. Art Director

Description:

We’re looking for a Senior Art Director. An award-winning, strategically minded creative juggernaut.

We want someone who excels in their craft. Someone who can’t rest easy until the job is done right. Someone who sees a limitation as a creative challenge. In an era of ad factory mentality and commoditized creative output, we’re looking for someone who flat out gives a damn.

Our ideal candidate will have a big picture strategic vision, a forward-looking mindset and creative chops to match. This is a hands-on position that will work on everything (broadcast, connected TV, social, digital, display, print, OOH, some mediums yet to be imagined) with everyone—in partnerships, teams, as a mentor or as a project lead.

Join us and you’ll be part of a collaborative, fun, fast-paced, ego-free team. It’s a roll-up-your-sleeves, make cool stuff type of atmosphere.

Tell us why you are the person for this position. And be sure to include a link with samples of your best work (actual samples, please, no comps).

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS:

• Provide creative solutions from concept through execution that support business-building strategies for our clients.
• Provide leadership and creative guidance to junior creatives, video editors, graphics support, producers, etc. on assigned account(s) and areas of the agency as needed.
