The PITCH

We’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of both big campaigns and social micro-content. Our ACDs here serve a slightly different (and more senior) role than more traditional “digital creative types,” but thankfully we’ll never use the term “digital ninja”.

Are you based in Delhi/ NCR? Geeking the creative world in the India market for 7+ years now? Oh well, we could be meant to be --

Here’s where you come in.

I use my creative craft, understanding of platforms and grasp of culture to solve marketing problems for a variety of brands. I have the most challenging role in the creative department as my duties are split between both doing the work as well as helping manage some of the work. I spend roughly 80% of my time working on solving briefs and 20% of my time managing projects under the direction of my CD. I don’t have an assigned partner so I often work alone. Occasionally, I’ll work with another creative in the pod. And sometimes I’ll partner with the CD. While other members of the pod do not technically report to me, it’s expected that I help mentor them when possible.

TL;DR - I have the most challenging role in the creative department. I fulfill the duties of an AD or CW but also help manage projects under my CD’s discretion. #thenavysealsofcreative

• Brings 7+ years of hands-on experience in art direction, design, and copywriting, with a portfolio that showcases original thinking across platforms
• Thinks in stories, not just assets. You’re fluent in social-first creative, social-first campaigns, and know how to craft narratives that stop thumbs and spark conversations
• Is a natural leader. You inspire teams, guide junior talent, and know how to elevate an idea without overshadowing others

• Carries curiosity as a superpower. You’re always asking "what if?", constantly exploring cultural trends, platforms, and creative tools
• Is hungry but humble. You're ambitious but grounded, driven but kind. You lead with empathy and roll up your sleeves when needed

• Natural leadership tendencies
• Exceptional video production experience

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
