WHY DEPT®?
We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.
Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world.
This is a hybrid role with the expectation of 3 days on-site a week. You must be located within 50 miles of Chicago, IL, Denver, CO or Boston, MA.
JOB PURPOSE
We are seeking a curious, self-driven Senior Creative to lead content strategies and content creation for brand social, campaigns, and performance work streams across several accounts. While the unique title on our team is Senior Creative, think of this hybrid role as Senior Creative Strategist meets Senior Copywriter.
In this position, you will be hands-on in the strategic, conceptual, and executional side of the work, responsible for coming up with and pitching killer ideas that capture target audiences’ attention, inspire behavioral change, and make a real difference in clients’ businesses. You’ll work closely with the account planning team to understand client goals and partner with the design and tech teams to bring your creative vision and strategies to life. All your work will be underpinned by a deep understanding of digital platforms (existing and new) and social best practices.
You’ll push the boundaries of briefs, dig into the why, and explore new creative frontiers. Often, clients come to us with a business objective or a new audience to reach—it’s your job to unpack what that could mean and where that could live creatively. This role requires an entrepreneurial spirit, an unwavering curiosity about the latest digital offerings, and close collaboration across departments.
You’ll report into one of our Creative Directors.
