- Provide creative direction and oversight across the full department — your creative authority extends beyond your direct reports
- Manage and develop a growing team: writers, art directors, designers, video editors, developers and social
- Concept and create key pieces yourself when the work demands it - you are a “player / coach”

- Someone who is actively utilizing AI in their creative process today
- Proven ability to direct and elevate writers, art directors and designers
- Incredibly strong art direction sensibilities, deep knowledge of industry defining work and sharp instincts for language and tone
- Experience leading and mentoring creatives, not just directing work

- Experience directing video and motion work, not just static and copy
- You understand that great advertising and great content aren't separate disciplines
