  • Conduct regular checkins with full-time and permalance talent to ensure key programs are on track. Elevate the creative work wherever possible.
  • Critique the work of other creatives to yield stronger, more valuable solutions that always meet the brief and suit the brand.
  
  
  
  
• Get your hands dirty when it's required. We're all doers, not just directors.

• Understand and support account leadership.
  
  
  
  • Collaborate with experts in account, production, strategy, and technical teams to understand the context of this account and ensure priorities are clear.
  • Have an understanding of agency processes. Contribute to creative resourcing, staffing, and onboarding on a weekly basis to ensure new programs are set up for success.
  • Learn the nuances of the client's brand and quickly become an expert on the tone, design preferences, and requirements across various projects.
  
  
  
  
• Bring creative passion to the account and the team, consistently encouraging creative thinking and fruitful collaboration. Foster a culture that is conducive to creative development by making creative collaborations a "safe" place where all participants are heard and respected, resulting in superior creative solutions.

• Pitch our clients and win them over with business-driven innovative ideas that have measurable results.

Creative Execution & Production

• Work closely with the creative and execution experts (account directors, producers, technologists, vendors, strategists, designers) to ensure your ideas remain as powerful as they were when pitched.
• Remain involved in production as the project progresses to ensure creative integrity. Be an ongoing creative resource and problem solver for the team.
• Own specific creative execution elements when and where appropriate (design elements, sourcing, etc).
