We create modern brand experiences that are anything but business as usual. Connecting with humans in a meaningful way takes more than incremental change. It takes radically original thinking. That’s why diversity, equity and inclusion isn’t a box we check, it’s who we are. We encourage everyone to bring their authentic selves to work and value the unique perspectives, backgrounds and experiences of our team members that lead to meaningful outcomes. FKA has curated a deep roster of talent focused on channel-proof brand building,  ubiquitous retail commerce, social that impacts the full purchase funnel, and relationship management that uses data to humanize brands and create lasting bonds with customers. Currently, we have more than 600 talented humans in locations across the country, partnering with brands like Verizon, Pop Tarts, Amazon, Audi, Arby’s, and others who are ready to challenge the status quo and reinvent what’s next.

As an Art Director, you’re a visual experience-maker. You partner with copywriters to create break-through campaigns and on-point brand communications. Even the simplest projects become clever in your hands — you never miss an opportunity to make something fresh and smart. You live for big ideas and use all the tools to express them—photography, typography, motion, color, illustration. You have interesting things tacked to the wall behind your monitor and a folder on your desktop of inspiring movie scenes.

In this role, you’ll report to the VP, Group Design Director and will work with some of biggest brands in the world. The digital space will be your primary focus—social, display, video, web design, email — and you’ll be expected to see your work through from concept to final execution with the help of your senior team members and manager. Managing your workload independently to meet deadlines are a must. If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
