ART DIRECTOR, ADS

Full Time | Location: New York, NY

We are seeking an Art Director who can take briefs from our Accounts team and turn them into exciting, effective ad campaigns quickly and consistently.

This is not a “one big campaign at a time” role. This role will be developing, designing, and refining multiple campaigns simultaneously—often across social, digital, OOH, and brand—sometimes concepting in the morning and shipping assets by end of day.

At the top of each week, the Art Director will receive a set of briefs from the Accounts team. Their job is to take those briefs, come up with ideas, and bring them to life across all media. This person should have a digital-first, social-first aesthetic and mindset.

This role is hands-on, responsible for both the ideas and the execution. The ideal candidate will be energized by pace, not intimidated by it.
RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

  • Reviewing and interpreting briefs from the Accounts team
  • Coming up with ad campaign ideas based on those briefs
  • Designing and producing ads across social, digital, print, and OOH
  • Working with copywriters and designers to develop ideas
  • Delivering finished, ready-to-use assets, often on short timelines
  • Handling multiple projects at once and shifting between different brands and styles
  • Making updates, variations, and improvements to campaigns as needed
  • Ensuring all work follows brand guidelines and looks polished

 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

  • 2+ years of experience as an Art Director or 5+ years of experience in a creative studio advertising agency or similar environment
  • A portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual thinking and high volume execution
  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Experience creating for social-first and performance-driven campaigns
  • Ability to move quickly without losing attention to detail
  • Strong organizational and time management skills
  • Confidence presenting work to internal teams and explaining creative decisions

 

BENEFITS INCLUDE:

  • Access to Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance after 60 days full-time
  • 401(k) Profit Sharing + Defined-Benefit Pension Plans
  • Summer Fridays (Office closes at 3pm from July 4 through Labor Day)
  • Optional Work Remote Fridays
  • Office is closed from Christmas through New Years Day
  • Agency Holidays Off
  • Vacation, Personal, Sick Days
  • Access to Commuter Benefits plan
  • Peloton App membership

 

COMPENSATION: $90,000 – $100,000 per year
