Job Description

This is for a future opportunity in the Atlanta or St Louis market. The compensation range will be from $100,000 - $125,000. The Role and What You’ll Do: As an Associate Creative Director, you are a master of many verticals and a mentor to all. You know how to tell a big brand story, execute an event flawlessly, and crack culture with a single social video. Most importantly, you can teach others to do the same. You may come from an art or copy background but have gained an eye and an ear for both. You can craft a compelling deck and sell in a big room. You lead small projects and are on your way to owning larger ones. You are a go-to for pitches (with your partner and solo) and have become a mainstay on key accounts. You are recognized on client calls and have a strong relationship with the integrated team. You collaborate with all those around you. Your Creative Director can always rely on you, and your Group Creative Director sees you as second in command. You keep projects flowing and teams connected, bridging what’s been done with what’s possible. You are ready to lead and eager to step up. You are the firepower that keeps the team churning and the pinch-hitter always dependable when a senior hand is needed. You can be counted on to deliver and inspire dedication in others. Responsibilities: Play a hands-on role in delivering outstanding creative and results, working collaboratively within a cross-disciplinary team to ensure work is on-brand, effective, and stands out. Ensure consistency and efficacy of creative output. Concept creative from brief to end product, managing multiple projects and tight timelines. Work within established brand guidelines.
