Job Description

PLEASE NOTE: This is a hybrid role requiring onsite collaboration an average of 3 days/week. You must be local to the Boston market and willing to commute into the office on a regular basis.

In this role, you’re always ready to design and execute integrated, cross-channel advertising initiatives — you can turn daydreams into reality with flair and speed. You’ll spend quality time with your good friend Photoshop, yes…but you’ll also collaborate with creative directors, copywriters, designers and other key members of our creative team to produce awesome, industry-leading work.

Day to day, your role will include:

• Creating and communicating concepts that intrigue and inspire both your peers and clients — with a smart rationale to back them up.
• Designing comps, storyboards, initial graphic concepts and final deliverables.
• Brainstorming and developing campaigns while working with clients on multiple projects at once.
• Collaborating and partnering with copywriters to ensure that both the copy and the visuals are in perfect sync to make the concept as powerful, vivid and compelling as possible.
• Assisting the Creative Director to improve the Creative group’s technical and creative performance.

Qualifications

What you’ll bring to the table:

We’re looking for an Art Director who is both exceptionally qualified and a delight to work with, which usually includes:

• A four-year degree, plus 2-4 years of art direction and strong digital- design work experience, preferably in an advertising or interactive agency.
• Experience working in or alongside regulated industries (like finance, healthcare, those sorts of things) a huge plus.
• Energy, a sense of humor, and an open and curious mind (yes, these things really do matter).
• Exceptional conceptual and design skills and a robust portfolio that showcases your talent across digital and print media, including social, web, mobile, and video.
• Versatile design chops with strong experience on large cross-channel and/or direct-marketing initiatives.
• Strong expertise in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign with an eye for design and typography.
• Familiarity with HTML/dHTML and web browser capabilities as well as UX concepts and site architecture.
• A willingness to travel as needed (hey, new places, new faces, new inspiration — right?).
• A knack for strategic brainstorming, campaign development, creative brief development and creative execution.
• An innate curiosity with a desire to ask the big questions while also being willing to drop down in the weeds and do the work, whether flashy or more routine.
• Professionalism, maturity, and a distinct lack of ego.

Got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you.
