Reporting to the VP of Creative, this position requires you to be an expert creative problem-solver with leadership qualities and an unmet desire to grow and learn, a talented copywriter that cultivates tight and collaborative relationships with designers and other creatives, and a likable human being with empathy and resolve.

  • Use a strong creative vision to shape and develop multi-disciplinary campaigns across all media types; has a strong knowledge of the digital landscape.
  • Direct designers, art directors, content strategists, copywriters, and vendors throughout development of concepts, refinement, production, and final delivery of creative outputs.
  • Ensure quality and preparation of deliverables for handoff to developers, production vendors, printers, clients, etc.
  • Work seamlessly with account, strategy, experience, development, and project management teams; be the voice of the creative team for both internal and external audiences.
  • Juggle multiple initiatives with a strong ability to prioritize and manage tactics within a strategy.
  • Be engaged and a true team player — working beautifully with others.
Characteristics

  • Constantly Curious. Takes initiative in solving problems, staying relevant within your discipline (industry trends and best practices), understanding your clients and their customers, and proactively searching out new and innovative ideas.
  • Patently Passionate. Takes joy in blurring the line between emotional and rational decision-making for B2B buyers, relentlessly pursuing a deep understanding of buyers to help them build confidence, solve problems, and make decisions effortlessly.
Skills & Requirements:
  • Minimum 8 years of agency experience.
  • Expert skills in the full range of writing for different mediums.
  • Solid portfolio demonstrating passion, creativity, and problem-solving.
  • Must effectively lead teams, work independently, and collaborate with others.
