Associate Creative Director

Adelphi Group

About The Position

The Weber Shandwick Collective (TWSC) is looking for an Associate Creative Director — art or copy, we're open — who lives and breathes the internet. This role is for someone who wants their fingerprints on some of the biggest brands in the world, and who's ready to move from executing great work to shaping it. You'll bring ideas to the table that spark joy, ignite shares, and earn a permanent spot in people's lives. This agency is where ideas meet cultural currency, where you'll help create award-winning work that's discussed around the country. This role is built for the Senior Art Director or Senior Copywriter ready to make the jump, or the ACD who wants a bigger canvas and a shorter distance between their idea and the work going live.

Requirements

• Obsessive curiosity about trends, people, platforms, memes, and the mechanics of why certain things just work.
• A social media sixth sense: knowing which platforms matter most, what kind of content works where, and how to surprise people in their scroll.
• Pop culture proficiency: staying plugged into what everyone's talking about, and what they're about to.
• 5–8 years in art direction, design, or copywriting — especially if you've worked on earned, digital, and social-first campaigns, or for culturally relevant brands.
• If an art director: ability to work quickly and accurately across Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) and presentation software (PowerPoint).
• If a copywriter: range from a scroll-stopping caption to a script to a manifesto that actually means something, and the instinct to know which the moment calls for.
• A sense of humor.

• Mentor junior creatives and help set the bar on craft by being in the work next to them.
• Research platforms, subcultures, emerging media, and niche communities to unearth untapped opportunities.
• Present your thinking with conviction — internally, and increasingly in the room with clients.
