Freelance Senior Art Director

We’re building our roster of Freelance Senior Art Directors for upcoming project needs. This isn’t tied to one assignment, rather we’re looking for visually driven, conceptual-forward creatives who can jump in as opportunities arise.

As a Freelance Senior Art Director, you'll help spearhead the conceptual side of social-first work, helping bring breakthrough ideas to life across Tik Tok, Instagram, emerging platforms, and digital ecosystems. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to craft bold concepts, elevate visual storytelling, and ensure that every piece of creative feels modern, premium, and culturally relevant.

• Ideate and develop disruptive, platform-native concepts across Tik Tok, Instagram, You Tube, and emerging channels
• Partner closely with creative directors, copywriters, designers, strategists, production, and post teams to build cohesive visual worlds
• Translate strategy and ideas into clear, compelling visual directions, mood boards, shot lists, storyboards, and design references
• Lead conceptual development across phases from concepting to production to final delivery. Maintaining consistency and creative integrity
• Help direct the look, feel, and tone of content across formats: short-form video, campaign assets, social content, and pitch decks
• Provide fresh POVs on cultural trends, platform aesthetics, creator styles, and the evolving language of social visual storytelling
• Present work internally and help elevate client presentations with polished, visually engaging decks
• Bring a proactive approach to problem solving, creative exploration, and pushing ideas beyond the obvious

• 5+ years of experience as an Art Director or Senior Art Director at creative agencies or in-house brand teams (social-first work strongly preferred)
• A strong portfolio demonstrating visually innovative, culturally fluent, social-native work
• Mastery of visual concepting: art direction, composition, typography, color, layout, and platform-specific aesthetics
• Experience leading creative from concept through execution across digital and social content
• Strong understanding of production workflows and ability to collaborate with directors, editors, designers, photographers, and creators
• Deep familiarity with Tik Tok, IG Reels, You Tube, and evolving content trends
• Ability to think both strategically and creatively, presenting ideas with clarity and conviction
• Comfortable working autonomously, handling fast-paced timelines, and jumping into active projects

We look forward to hearing from you! 🎵💃
