About The Position

We're looking for an ACD, Art Director who leads with concepts and executes with craft. You'll be the visual creative partner to the ACD Copywriter — concepting campaigns together, pushing ideas to unexpected places, and making sure the work looks as good as it thinks. This isn't a job where you're handed a brief and told to make it pretty. You're in the room when the ideas and strategy are forming, shaping both what we say and how we say it visually. The work spans social, digital, packaging, in-store, and activations. Neither brand is finished. Both have room to grow, tighten, and get more interesting — and we're looking for someone who sees that as the opportunity, not the problem. You'll also work closely with the design and content on how campaign creative intersects with the brand identity system, especially through the 2027 rebrand rollout. This is an IC role — no direct reports, but real creative ownership, and real range in who you work with day to day. You'll partner most closely with the ACD Copywriter to concept ideas from scratch. You'll lean on the design and content teams to bring those ideas to life with craft across every touchpoint — from packaging to video — working within brand standards rather than reinventing them each time.

Requirements

  • You think in campaigns, not assets. Your instinct is to find the idea first and solve the visual execution second.
  • You have refined design sensibility and a strong visual POV — you know what looks good and why, and you can articulate it.
  • You're fluent in social and digital — you understand how content lives on platforms and how to make work that feels native, not posted.
  • You can concept for and direct video without being an editor — you communicate clearly with production partners and know how to get what you want.
  • You work well in a copy/AD team model and know how to build on a partner's ideas as well as your own.

Responsibilities

  • Concept original campaign ideas across social, digital, in-store, and activations in close partnership with the ACD Copywriter and the rest of the creative team — bringing strong visual thinking to every brief.
  • Art direct content and campaign shoots, working with production partners, photographers, and video teams to ensure the work looks intentional from concept to delivery.
  • Collaborate with the Design Director on how campaign creative intersects with the brand identity system.
  • Direct video and animation concepts for social and digital — not as an editor or motion designer, but as the creative lead who ensures the idea translates correctly through production partners.
  • Maintain a high standard of visual craft across everything the creative team produces, acting as a taste-maker and quality bar for the team.
