• Design a wide range of content that supports the brand and get people talking
• Collaborate with other members of the creative and production teams to ensure assets are aligned
• Participate in brainstorms, communicate concepts and take direction and feedback from creative directors and account leads
• Collaborate on client presentation and pitch decks
• Work hand-in-hand with a creative technologist to ensure a seamless creative development and production process
• Collaborate with CD, Copywriters, and Designers to help produce creative guides for shoots including location, styling, talent and photo/video style samples
• Keep up-to-date on the latest cultural trends

• 2-3+ years of agency-side experience developing creative assets
• Strong ability to concept multiple ideas quickly
• A keen eye for what works and the communication skills to explain why
• The ability to collaborate across internal teams and clients
• A knack for picking up brands’ visual identities, understanding why they work and switching between them quickly
• Proficient with Photoshop and all relevant image manipulation tools and apps
• Understanding of image display standards on all social platforms
• Commitment to excellence — working nonstandard hours when necessary, anticipating issues and communicating with diplomacy, identifying emerging platforms and trends to drive innovation
• Proficiency in MS Office and Adobe Creative Suite for Mac
