Job Description

*This role will be for We are Social's sister agency, This is Hello!

For role you will need to be located in LA*

THE ROLE

We are looking for an Associate Creative Director to join our squad of socially-led thinkers, doers and creators. You should be fluent in tasteful design and aesthetics, and have the ability to see beyond the constraints of traditional advertising. 

WE ARE 

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we've proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

• We like to laugh, we live for celeb gossip and we’re great on AUX.
• Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more!
• You best believe we know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it’s how we learn). 
• From carbon offsets to community kitchens, we’re passionate about making a difference. 
• Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks. (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked.)

YOU ARE

• A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
• Not interested in just following trends – you want to create them
• A self-starter, who’ll take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro

Traditional agency experience is not required, but it’s a plus. What matters is your deep understanding of what resonates with social audiences. This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you’ll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and cultural moments. In return, you’ll join a global agency dedicated to generating buzzworthy ideas for some of the world’s leading brands. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead clients to evolve their approach and partner with the agency to deliver world-changing social thinking, campaigns and content.
• Champion high-level story and visual craft at all times.
• Own and strengthen client relationships.
• Be a hands-on contributor and collaborator, especially in new business pitches.
• Proactively provide creative solutions for clients and inspire others to do the same.
• Ideate and execute against social and behavioral trends.
• Present ideas, work and thought leadership persuasively to all audiences.
• Create and nurture relationships across the business whether it’s with strategy, client service or production.
• Build, manage and support high-performing teams.
• Help direct and mentor our junior team members.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE

• Culturally literate and tapped into new & emerging platforms and formats.
• Keeping up with music, sports, gaming, trends and the news is not a chore, it’s what you naturally do.
• Experienced in creating big ideas for big, ambitious brands.
• Brings a positive attitude and keeps the ego in-check.
• An ability to inspire, influence and motivate others.
• Hybrid creative skills (e.g. a sharp wit and a good eye. You can art direct and write. You’re comfortable making and directing.)
• On-set production and post-production experience is a plus.
• Willingness to get your hands dirty and lead by example.
• Experience guiding teams and leading creative projects.
• 5-7 years experience working in creative industries (agency experience preferred)
