Associate Creative Director, Art

Description

The company is an in-house team of creatives, producers, data analysts and social experts that builds ideas across formats, from short social posts to TV. The team is set up to react to trends and news as they break, and to create work that goes beyond social media, wins media coverage and gets the country talking.

You will be joining a team that aims high creatively and pushes its own limits, with a strong focus on award-quality work. The company wants people who bring drive to their craft and produce new ideas both inside and beyond the brief.

You will support the creative director in leading a group of creatives who develop culturally relevant campaigns. You will work alongside a second ACD focused on copy, and with a mix of specialists to shape ideas that get attention, earn media and prompt action. The work ranges from fast trend activations to carefully built TV spots.

• Work with producers, strategists, data analysts and social media experts so ideas work across platforms.
• Present concepts to clients clearly and with conviction, building their trust and enthusiasm.
• Hold all deliverables to the highest creative standard, from social-first content to integrated campaigns.
• Push the team toward award-worthy work that raises the bar for the industry.

Requirements

• 7+ years in a creative role at an agency or in-house team, with a record of high-quality, award-winning work.
