Edelman is looking for a Senior Art Director to help us make things that culture will love. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world’s most talked about work. Whether we're teaming up with Lizzo and DOVE to end weight discrimination in this country once and for all, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It’s not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong Senior Art Director with a sharp eye for design who can help unlock more of those weird, wild ideas.

What kind of creative work will you do? We’re glad you asked. Because our work doesn’t really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there’s no “standard” creative brief here. We’re the kind of creative department that works on visual direction for a brand anthem video in the morning, switches over around lunchtime to concept a stunt that’ll hijack culture, and ends our day by workshopping design elements in social content. And that’s just a Monday. So, if you’re looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the 30-second spot – the kind of ideas that end up in the pages of the New York Times and on the One Show shortlist – you’ll be in good company here.

To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it’s why so many stay with us awhile. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another, encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture.

Responsibilities:

  • Drive high level concepting, tactical program ideation and polished design for a wide range of marketing outputs from short-form video and interactive mobile experiences to unexpected social content.
  • Own the visual brand story for our clients across all social, digital and PR channels, maintaining a consistent look, feel and vision.
  • Successfully communicate (present and sell-in) creative ideas, their rationale, and the specifics of the solutions.
  • Collaborate with agency team members from creative, account, production, technology, PR, strategy, planning and analytics to produce smart, powerful work. 

Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of experience in marketing, advertising, or social media, with significant emphasis on interactive media.
  • A bachelor’s degree, preferably in Fine Arts, Advertising or Graphic Design.
  • Killer design chops with proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
  • Animation and video production experience is a plus.
  • Literate in the language of the internet and social. Should be comfortable executing everything from an organic TikTok campaign to a stunt that plays out on the front page of Reddit.
  • Demonstrated ability to concept across a variety of mediums: social, digital, print, TV, audio, experiential and whatever comes next.
  • Ability to think strategically, conceptualize creatively and see the concept through to polished design and build.
  • Social fluency and a solid understanding of how to drive conversation and engagement across social channels.
  • Strong communication design sensibilities and an understanding of how composition, information hierarchy, color theory and typography work together to drive home a message.
  • Proven creativity in the interactive space with successful follow through from concept to build.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Ability to prioritize and manage work, adhering to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment.

Edelman is a global communications firm that partners with businesses and organizations to evolve, promote and protect their brands and reputations. Our 6,000 people in more than 60 offices deliver communications strategies that give our clients the confidence to lead and act with certainty, earning the trust of their stakeholders. Our honors include the Cannes Lions Grand Prix for PR; Advertising Age’s 2019 A-List; the Holmes Report’s 2018 Global Digital Agency of the Year; and, five times, Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work. Since our founding in 1952, we have remained an independent, family-run business. Edelman owns specialty companies Edelman Data & Intelligence (DxI) and United Entertainment Group (entertainment, sports, lifestyle).

Employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (i.e., at least 2 weeks after last dose) and, if hired, present proof of vaccination before start date. Candidates may request an accommodation due to disability, sincerely held religious belief or exception required under applicable law.

Edelman is an equal opportunity employer of all protected classes, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
