Creative Studio Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Who You Will Be Working With

As a Creative Studio Management Lead, you'll be at the heart and operational brain of the team, bridging the gap between high-level creative strategy and precise technical execution for digital as well as film and video. You'll have supportive leaders, modern tools, and the space to innovate how we deliver "Digital Made For Humans."

The Creative Studio at PMG is at the heart of turning ambitious brand visions into high-performing creative & content realities. You will work in partnership with a hands-on group of writers, designers, editors, audio specialists, motion artists, tech developers, conceptual creatives and 3rd party contractors, who care as much about craft as they do about performance. You'll partner closely with Media teams, Strategists, Client Leads, and Alli Product teams to ensure our creative output is not only beautiful but technically seamless across the global ad-tech ecosystem. Following approval of media plans, and content strategies, this person will work with the creative team, which act as the centralized point of contacts amongst Strategy, Creative, Production, Technical, and Development teams and serving as a project management lead, amongst them all. 

You should have a keen understanding of digital ad formats, client(s) brand guidelines, message objectives, and how to navigate multiple perspectives and workflows. You should also be able to articulate complex production and digital advertising topics for non-subject matter experts clearly and simply.

An understanding of the media planning process and the way specific tactics can play different roles within a particular plan(s) mix is also beneficial.
