Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States Hook Full time

Hook is a Creative Production Agency. With a collaborative, maker-centric team, and an emphasis on production-led design, we develop creative campaigns, short-form content, and websites for well known brands.

Our mission is to integrate creative and production to help grow brands faster. But we believe what's most important are the people who work with us and the experience they have along the way. We want clients to think of us as the best agency they've ever worked with, and we want everyone at Hook to feel like this is the best job they've had yet.

And so, Hook is organized around the idea that small, diverse and autonomous teams create better work⁠—and a better work experience. At around 20 people each, our pod-like teams are built with a mix of designers, writers, producers, animators, and technologists. Individuals at all levels and from all backgrounds, all empowered to connect with the client and make the creative challenge their own.

Associate Motion Directors are experienced leaders who are fluent in the language and practice of motion design. They are hands-on managers who operate alongside creative and design teams to produce industry-leading advertising content in a variety of animated mediums. While their performance is often directly measured by the quality of the work they produce, they understand that it's ultimately their ability to coach and develop fellow motion design talent that drives long term success.

The daily challenges range from overseeing (and guaranteeing) motion design executions to directly leading conceptual motion design challenges for national and global brands/campaigns. With an existing team of motion designers in place, previous experience with team and project leadership within a rapid production environment will be a critical skill. Given the close proximity to marketing clients, being an excellent communicator and an overall joy-to-work-with will also go a long way toward success.

Collaborate with Design and Creative to ensure motion projects exceed client expectations, demonstrating the ability to provide an informed perspective on how motion design can solve a brand's strategic challenges.
Lead and direct a small team of motion designers in the creation of motion concepts that solve for client marketing objectives through storyboarding, research and development, motion ideation, and constructive feedback.
Demonstrate an ability to manage multiple projects and motion designers at the same time while maintaining a clear vision of priorities in order to ensure project milestones are met.
Interface with clients and provide insight into how motion design can help solve their project challenges. Provide alternative approaches when appropriate to help create new opportunities.
Collaborate with Producers to solve resourcing challenges.
Support in identifying and solving personnel challenges within the department.
Manage multiple motion designers and effectively provide guidance that helps them overcome career challenges.
Seek out opportunities to promote skill advancement among motion designers by engaging in and/or creating department initiatives and discussions.
Seek out opportunities to enrich our existing culture within the department and organization.
