Job description

This role can be based out of either our New York City or Washington, D.C. office.

Avōq is seeking an Art Director who turns imagination into impact. You’ll work on behalf of our diverse roster of clients to invent creative concepts and bring them to life with elevated design. So if you solve problems with style — whether by pre‑roll or product innovation, TV spot or PR stunt — we can’t wait to talk to you.

WHO YOU ARE

• An interpreter who can visualize all the intangible pieces of a brand that don’t readily translate to visual media.
• An effective communicator who can sway others to see things through your lens.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Partner with a Copywriter to concept and execute breakthrough advertising to solve client problems and persuade audiences.
• Produce a variety of deliverables across all media including social, digital, video, print, radio, OOH, experiential, etc.
• Present and discuss the work with clarity and confidence, both internally and with clients.
• Provide creative insights and strategic advice to colleagues and clients.
• Oversee video and still photography production and post‑production.
• Contribute to new business efforts.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

• 3‑5 years of experience and an online portfolio demonstrating conceptual advertising art direction skills.
• Current on creative tactics and emerging marketing trends.
• Experience working directly with clients to pitch ideas and influence outcomes.
• Effective verbal and listening communication skills.
• Able to manage multiple projects and deliverables simultaneously.
• Understanding of user‑experience design and web best practices.
• Command of the Adobe Creative Suite.
• Preference will be given to candidates with prior agency experience and/or an ad school degree, but a stellar portfolio and experience without a degree will be considered.
