Job description

Associate Creative Director - Experiential / Copy // Future Opportunity at 160over90

Join to apply for the Associate Creative Director - Experiential / Copy // Future Opportunity role at 160over90.

This is for a future opportunity with a pay range of $150,000 to $190,000.

The Role and What You'll Do

As an Experiential Associate Creative Director, you are a master of many verticals and a mentor to all, but you truly shine in creating live experiences. 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 now teach others how to do the same.

You come from a copy background but you have gained an eye for design as well. You can craft a killer deck and sell in a big room. You lead small projects and are well on your way to owning the big ones.

You are a go-to for pitches (with your partner and as a solo player) and have become a mainstay on key accounts. You are quickly becoming a recognizable face on the client calls and have a strong relationship with the integrated team. You collaborate with all those under you, above you and beside you.

Your Creative Director can always rely on you and your Group Creative Director sees you as second in command. You keep the projects flowing and team going, connecting what’s been done with what’s possible. You are ready to lead and eager to step up to the plate.

You are the firepower that keeps the team churning and the pinch-hitter that can always be depended on when we need a senior hand.

You can be counted on to deliver every time and can inspire the same dedication in others.
