Job Description

What you’ll do:

In this role, you’re always ready to design and execute integrated, cross-channel advertising initiatives – you can turn daydreams into reality with flair and speed.

Day to day, your role will include:

  • Creating and communicating concepts that intrigue and inspire your both peers and clients – with smart rational to back them up
  • Designing comps, storyboards, initial graphic concepts, and final deliverables
  • Brainstorming and developing campaigns while working with clients on multiple projects at once
  • Collaborating and partnering with copywriters to ensure that both the copy and the visuals are in perfect synch to make the concept as powerful, vivid and compelling as possible
  • Assisting the Creative Director to improve the Creative group’s technical and creative performance

 

Qualifications

We’re looking for an Art Director who is both exceptionally qualified and a delight to work with, which usually includes:

  • Energy, a sense of humor and an open & curious mind (yes, these things really do matter)
  • Exceptional conceptual and design skills and a robust portfolio that shows your talent in both print and Web
  • Strong experience on large cross-channel and/or direct-marketing initiatives across media, both online and off
  • Strong expertise in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, in-depth understanding of HTML/dHTML and Web browser capabilities, and strong typographical, motion graphic, and interaction design skills – including Flash, Ajax, Flex, and emerging platforms
  • A willingness to travel as needed (hey, new places, new faces, new inspiration – right?)
  • A four-year degree, plus two to four years of art direction and strong digital design work experience
  • A knack for strategic brainstorming, campaign development, creative brief development and creative execution

 

Got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you.
