OVERVIEW You know how to help teams simplify, improve, and amplify great ideas. As an experienced creative leader, you know how to have an impact on your team, and an ability to ensure every project they're working on reaches its potential.
You're more than a manager; you're a teacher to other creative managers and talent. You know how to help an ACD get the most out of their team - and you know how to get involved with a team of junior creatives to help them over a hump.
You'll supervise a full-spectrum creative team: ideators (designers and writers), ACDs, Designers, and Technology experts.
You're thinking about the team and its capabilities - addressing skills gaps, training talent, and keeping the pipeline fresh - bringing in new talent to grow a team that's rapidly expanding.
You're an outstanding pitcher and want to be the creative face of the agency to your own portfolio of brands. And most important of all, you're a creative mind that thrives on discovering new ways to move the needle for clients.
