Job Description

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. You'll spend quality time with your good friend Photoshop, yes...but you'll also collaborate with creative directors, copywriters, designers and other key members of our creative team to produce awesome, industry-leading work. 

Responsibilities

Day to day, your role will include:

• Creating and communicating concepts that intrigue and inspire both your peers and clients - with a smart rationale 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 sync 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 and 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.
• Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALLE, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation.

Got the sparkle? Apply if you believe your unique skills are a fit.
