Temp Associate Creative Director, OleHenriksen

The Temp Creative Director holds the visual creative direction and brand vision specifically for OH, translating the overarching creative strategy into a distinct, consistent aesthetic that is right for that brand.

This role understands creative’s role in the current marketing landscape, and is able to concept assets for traditional placements (in-store, print) as well as native-to-platform content (social). They are open to thinking differently and approaching creative content to meet the needs of the moment. They also bring management skills, and manage a team of five designers.
