Nice to Have

What You Will Do

• Concept, design, and art direct digital campaigns across paid social, display, email/CRM, in-app, and web

• Partner with copywriters to develop integrated campaign ideas from brief through final delivery
• Oversee and elevate the work of designers and studio artists, giving clear, constructive creative direction
• Present work internally and to clients with confidence and a strong point of view
• Collaborate with strategy, media, and production teams to ensure creative performs against business goals
