About The Position

Join us in a place where creativity meets grounded innovation. Where you don't just react, but spearhead the future of brand narratives, you help shape what advertising is going to look like moving forward. Welcome to Cheil. Cheil Worldwide, a global titan from Seoul, stands proud as the world's 11th-largest creative agency. Founded by Samsung in 1973 to grow its global business, our journey has attracted a constellation of iconic brands, from Adidas and Coca-Cola to PayPal and Starbucks. And that brings us to you - or rather you to us. Cheil Dallas, part of Cheil Worldwide, is seeking an Associate Creative Director - Art to partner with a Writer. We are also looking for a creative team ACD Art and Copy, so if you have a partner, let us know in the comments. We're looking for proven, creative advertisers. With a stellar resume and a portfolio that's popping with witty, unique ideas. Based around solid strategy and brought to life with an artist's eye. Not only are you bringing a creator's mindset and passion to your work, but you'll be leading creatives who are looking to do what you do. Create. Teach. Do it again. And again. If you look at the world through a lens that's totally your own and you know how to get others to see it too, we're looking for you. We want up-and-coming creatives to look up to you, clients to love working with you and team members to admire what you do. If time is of the essence, fast should be an arrow in your quiver. If you're constantly talking, thinking and doing anything and everything about art, creativity, AI and innovation, you're exactly what we're looking for. And hopefully you'll end up exactly where you need to be. Working with us. We're looking for big thinkers. Big ideas are the name of the game. Whether it's coming up with campaigns for new business pitches, uber-creative ideas for competitive projects or highly-conceptual thinking for work in need of a refresh; we want pie-in-sky, "man that's cool" thinking, presenting and executing. This position is solely based around creativity and coming up with ideas others can't. We need innovation, originality and craftsmanship. And it's not just ideas on paper. These ideas need to sing. Brought to life with art direction and pizazz that's impossible to ignore. Scripts, events, decks…you need to be able to whip up and nuance work that answers any opportunity that comes your way. More than just layouts, we want exploration and execution. More than just campaigns, but work that can flex and wow. More than just presentations, creative territories that have legs and guts. Oh and did we mention, social, social, social? If you can come up with ideas that have a life all their own, inspire others to do the same and get work in the client's eyes and over the finish line, you're perfect for this role…and your portfolio will thank you.
