Associate Creative Director

What You'll Do

• Lead concept development across integrated campaigns, brand platforms and ongoing client work.
• Partner with art directors, designers and other agency partners to turn business challenges into strong creative ideas.
• Write and shape work across video, digital, social, experiential, web and print, from campaign platforms and messaging systems to headlines, scripts and brand voice.
• Make complicated subjects simple, human and emotionally relevant without losing strategic intent.
• Bring a strong point of view to the brief, identify opportunities and help push ideas beyond the expected.
• Lead creative presentations and sell in the work with confidence, connecting the idea back to the strategy, audience and business opportunity.
• Guide work through revisions and production while protecting the strength of the idea.
• Mentor other creatives through thoughtful feedback and contribute to pitches, proactive opportunities and work beyond your primary accounts.
• Stay curious about culture, technology and new ways brands can connect with people.

What We're Looking For

• 7 to 10+ years of agency or comparable creative experience with a portfolio that shows strong conceptual thinking, exceptional writing craft and work across multiple channels.
• The ability to move between big campaign ideas and highly crafted executions with strong creative judgment throughout.
• Strong storytelling and editing instincts with the ability to turn complex information into clear, engaging creative.
• Confidence presenting and defending creative thinking with internal teams and clients.
• Experience partnering closely with art directors, designers and production resources from concept through execution, with a collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in making the work and the people around you better.
• Experience with health systems, pharmaceutical brands, insurance or medical and legal review is a plus, but it is not required. More important is your ability to understand complex subject matter, find the human idea inside it and create work that makes people want to care.
