We are looking for a Senior Art Director who has the know-how and skills to work hands-on and who can own and guide the creative process from ideation to execution. Sometimes you’ll be leading a team of creators to make a volume of content that’ll make people laugh and cry. Sometimes you’ll be collaborating in a brainstorm for a big campaign. Sometimes you’ll be on set using your eye to make sure everything in frame looks “just so.” Every task is challenging, but highly rewarding. 

You’ll be joining a tightly-knit creative team working with emerging and established brands across food & beverage, telecommunication services, entertainment, and more.

• Wrangle and roll with your teammates on rapid-fire requests and seriously tight timelines while keeping a chill, proactive attitude.
• Lastly, think logically even under pressure and come up with innovative solutions to problems.

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S Send us your portfolio --- always excited to see some unicorn talents :)
