Associate Creative Director - The Brandon Agency : Job Details

Seeking an Associate Creative Director to Spark Big Ideas and Bold Execution.

Step into a dynamic role as our next Associate Creative Director, where passion meets execution and leadership drives inspiration. We're seeking a high-energy, conceptually strong creative who can guide teams with vision-and dive into the work with equal enthusiasm.

You'll be the spark behind elevated, integrated campaigns and the steady hand that crafts sharp headlines, memorable scripts, and boundary-pushing ideas. With a foundation in art direction and design, you're just as confident managing writers and giving smart, cross-disciplinary feedback.

If you thrive on fast-paced collaboration, love selling big ideas to clients, and enjoy shaping powerful presentations and new business pitches, this is your stage. We're looking for a true team energizer-someone who balances strategy with execution and can bring the creative fire to every brief, no matter the size.

Let us introduce ourselves:

We're Brandon. A fully integrated agency built on brains, guts, and zero tolerance for boring. We think like analysts, act like artists, and show up like partners who aren't afraid to challenge the brief-or you-if it means getting to the real answer. For our clients, that means smarter insights, braver ideas, and work that earns attention and outcomes. We don't do pretty nonsense. We don't do just okay. We do the kind of work that moves the brand and the bottom line. Because creativity isn't fluff. It's firepower. And we don't waste ammunition

What you'll do as Associate Creative Director:

• Lead Creatively: Steer the creative journey from the spark of an idea to the final masterpiece, making sure every piece aligns with client briefs and exceeds expectations.
• Elevate Ideas: Provide your creative vision and leadership to push boundaries and inspire innovation within your team.
• Guide Teams: Lead diverse groups of talents in crafting cutting-edge digital communications, keeping everyone in sync with project milestones.
• Balance Excellence and Efficiency: Juggle the creative demands with precision, ensuring your team's work not only stands out for its creativity but also meets all deadlines.
• Expertise in Action: Apply your deep knowledge in art direction, design, and branding to elevate every project your team touches.
• Inspire and Innovate: Motivate your colleagues to think bigger and bolder, creating a workplace where exceptional ideas flourish under your guidance.
• Stay Ahead: Keep your pulse on the latest design trends and media innovations, infusing your projects with fresh, exciting ideas.
• Client Collaboration: Work closely with clients to unpack briefs and set a clear, compelling direction for each project, seamlessly translating strategies into creative executions.
• Cultivate Talent: Mentor emerging creative stars, offering the feedback and direction needed to polish their skills and ensure the agency's reputation for design excellence and precision.

Knowledge and skills required for the position are:

• 7+ years of agency experience, with 3+ years managing a team.
• Award-winning portfolio showcasing a range of mediums.

• Thorough understanding of digital media and emerging technologies.
• Dedication to graphic consistency, brand standards, and quality across all channels
• Extensive experience with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and Illustrator
• Illustration and animation skills are a plus.
• Proficiency in project management tools and Google Suite.
• Strong organizational and leadership abilities.

Step into a role where your creative direction will not only shape stunning digital narratives but also mold the next generation of creative leaders.
