THE ROLE

We are looking for a seasoned Creative Director in search of an opportunity to produce the best work of their careers while helping creative teams grow through strong management and development. A love of sport is preferred.

WE ARE

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what's trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it "Ideas Worth Talking About," and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald's, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

You best believe we know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it's how we learn).
From carbon offsets to community kitchens, we're passionate about making a difference.
Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks. (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked.)

Lead and manage teams of creatives
Prioritize and delegate work to maintain timelines and budgets while delivering best-in-class work
Help evaluate, refine, and ultimately approve internal creative briefs
Conceptualize new platform, campaign on content ideas based on strategic insights

Give clear and actionable feedback to team members based on a deep understanding of their skill sets and creative tools

Requirements For This Role

You understand how to be authentically native on social platforms via short-form video, motion graphics, trending sounds, etc.
You are cool and focused under pressure and in the face of a high volume of deliverables
You are a strong communicator who treats co-workers and clients with empathy and respect
