The Art Director is not a rookie designer, nor worse yet a poser, but a bonified agency tested AD. Our ideal candidate is the first person to offer up ideas and sketches, as well as the last to lay hands upon the finished art before it goes to review. They thrive in a world filled with self-expression and live to “tweak” a not-so-subtle PMS color, or “kern” a headline a writer just plunked down. Their experience in design creation is vast and they fully embrace what it means to be “the visual expert.” Knowing all the while what clients expect from their AD and delivering nothing short of visual genius across all marketing channels.

• You are proactive, driven, and resourceful with strong prioritization skills and a desire to dive into the data.
• You are highly organized self-starter, able to work independently and under tight deadlines.  

What you should have: 

• Proven ability to think and design beyond campaign to help develop and drive creative solutions (multiple platforms) for client brands  
• 5+ years' experience as an Art Director at an advertising or digital agency. Experience in Pharma or Health and Wellness marketing a plus  
• Must present a portfolio of 10 pieces of your work that demonstrates both your conceptual and execution-based capabilities across all digital and print platforms  
• Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, Advertising, Interactive or another Design-related program  
• Visual Creativity, always curious, always ahead of the design trends, consistently utilizing new creative techniques from creative brief through deliverable  
• Demonstrates a deep understanding in building design layout, visual hierarchy, typography, storyboarding and management of photographers, illustrators, directors
