CREATIVE DIRECTOR ART DIRECTOR

OVERVIEW

Guide and sell great work that pushes clients’ business.

Your job is to make your clients, and your teams, famous for doing great work. You do this by working tightly with strategy, account and media to create smart and culturally relevant briefs with a real truth, that set your teams up for success. You still create work yourself, which is expected and needed. But the real rewards come from helping your teams develop their skills and their work. You’re great at helping people make their work clearer, stronger, and better. You know that selling their idea is a bigger success for you than selling your own. You have the kind of relationship with the client where they could call you, or vice versa. You have an amazingly positive attitude and find ways to do great creative even in tough situations. When it comes to production, you are a pro who can handle shoots and edits solo. You know how and when to involve your GCD, ECD and CCO to incorporate their feedback at the right moment. Everyone wants you on their business, and other creatives look to you for advice and direction. You’re the ultimate team player across the agency.
