New York, United States Quirk Creative Full time

Quirk Creative, ranked #3 Fast Company’s Most Innovative Workplaces, is an award-winning, WBE-certified advertising agency specializing in video-based campaigns for broadcast, digital, and social channels. We are a hybrid creative strategy and production agency, with our commercial directors in house. We’re looking for a full time Executive Creative Director with commercial directing experience to join our growing team. You must include a reel of commercials you have directed as part of the application. This position reports to the CEO.


The ECD will oversee the development and direction of engaging video commercials and campaigns for high-profile, growing brands. We're looking for a highly creative, well rounded individual who can lead the generation of campaign ideas from strategic insights and manage a team to excellence from pre-production, production, through to post-production. We are a fully remote agency but this role requires in-person presence during shoots.


You’ll be responsible for:

  • Collaborating with and managing Quirk’s Creative Directors / ACDs, Copywriters, Art Directors, Editors and Producers to lead the development of strategic original content, commercials and commercials for our clients.
  • This will entail:
  • Ideating on client briefs, creating treatments, and developing campaign and commercial concepts and scripts.
  • Working with storyboard artists to develop the scripts and visuals of the spots.
  • Coordinating with the production team to set the vision for locations, talent, and other details of the shoot.
  • Coordinate with the Managing Director to ensure the client perspective is taken into account.
  • Presenting the work to clients alongside the Accounts and Creative teams.
  • As the ECD on set, you will oversee every element of the creative across all accounts and directors/creative directors.
  • Putting your stamp of approval on all campaign assets in post-production (for example, TV/ Streaming/ Social/ Digital spots, Radio spots, and OOH or Digital Display banners) 
  • We strive for big ideas that drive real business results for our clients—from top-of-funnel impression and PR-driving brand campaigns, to lower-funnel direct response and sales driving performance campaigns. You must be comfortable with engaging with clients at the highest level (CMOs, CEOs, Heads of Brand, etc.) to communicate how our ideas are crafted to drive the results they’re looking for.
  • Managing and mentoring our team of Commercial Directors as they continue to hone their craft and evolve in their careers.
  • Ensuring budgets are allocated in the most efficient way possible, balancing Agency and Client needs. You’ll need to be able to creatively guide concept adjustments to help maximize production value. 
  • Working in lock-step with Quirk’s Managing Director to: Ensure Client satisfaction at every stage of the process, Assign resourcing based on new projects coming in.
  • Working with New Business and Accounts teams for any pitch materials needed.


To succeed in this role, you ideally:

  • Have 4-6 years’ experience directing commercials, and 7-10 years working in a creative position, ideally at a creative agency. 
  • Have experience managing a team; you should genuinely enjoy managing, mentoring and inspiring creatives.
  • Are fluent in Adobe Premiere (and whatever other tools you need to craft killer commercials) 
  • Have an insatiable appetite for pushing the boundaries of advertising and filmmaking, and have strong aesthetic POV with an ability to mold your ideas to different brands and objectives.
  • Are keen to socialize with both your team and clients; as a remote-first company, making space for facetime with others is important. 
  • Are flexible working under tight deadlines and can convey a sense of calmness and solutions-oriented mindset in the midst of crises. 
  • Are willing to get your hands dirty in all facets of the business; some days you’re on set overseeing a TV production, other days you’re coming up with a treatment, and other days you’re putting together the finishing touches on a perfect client deck. No job is too big or too small for you.
  • Are an absolute self-starter with a get-the-job-done mentality.


Benefits:

  • Medical: 50-100% coverage (including for dependents) depending on plan selected
  • Dental & Vision: 100% coverage (including for dependents)
  • HSA, FSA
  • 401(k) plan + % matching after 1 year
  • 14 weeks paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO 
  • 5 year anniversary sabbatical: one month paid
  • Flexible work-from-where-you’re-most productive (within the NYC area)
