* Location:

New York, NYBased in our New York office, this role is responsible for delivering best-in-class creative work across branded content, event activations and brand marketing for Condé Nast’s portfolio editorial brands. Reporting to the Executive Creative Director, you will work as a part of a specialized creative team within the Creative Studio, collaborating regularly with marketing and sales stakeholders. We’re looking for a conceptual, culturally aware creative who values diverse perspectives and has a proven record of producing imaginative, impactful work across mediums, from print and video to experiential.

With an eye for editorial authenticity and an understanding of commercial best practices, this role requires both conceptual vision and technical execution across formats. The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for crafting journalistically-relevant concepts for our advertising partners, building compelling pitch materials and presentations, and art directing on set.

This role blends editorial sensibility with commercial creativity. You will translate ideas into journalistically grounded, visually compelling concepts for our advertising partners and bring them to life through pitch materials, presentations, and on-set art direction.

You’ll lead the visual development of branded content from pitch through publication, collaborating closely with creative directors, editorial teams, and producers. Every project will benefit from your originality, taste level and craft: whether visualizing the art direction for a travel docuseries for a global hotel franchise, adapting client assets for an interactive digital feature for a luxury jewelry brand, or photo art directing a spirits shoot inside a custom festival activation.

We are looking for someone with deep expertise in platform-specific storytelling: from social media to OOH best practices. You know how to develop concepts that align with brand goals while capturing attention in the wild. You are adept at managing multiple projects in a fast-paced creative environment, and bring a collaborative, solutions-oriented attitude to every meeting. The ideal candidate will be able to maintain a smooth and efficient process across all workflows while balancing Condé Nast’s brand voices, creative standards and journalistic integrity with advertiser brand messaging objectives.
