What You’ll Do
- Own visual direction and design across Meta, TikTok, and other digital/social platforms.
- Develop platform-native, social-first concepts and content that feel authentic and culturally relevant.
- Manage creative projects from brief through final execution, partnering with copywriters, editors, project managers, strategists, and stakeholders.
- Storyboard, design, and direct social-first video content when needed.
- Stay current on social trends, platform updates, cultural moments, and emerging content formats.
- Partner with the contracted agency Influential and creative directors to identify creator opportunities and develop authentic brand content.
- Support initiatives including the organic social content library and Truth Tellers (Boardwalk) campaign.
- Explore AI creative tools, generative imagery, video, and motion platforms to accelerate concept development and content production.
- Present creative concepts and recommendations to cross-functional and client teams.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of Art Direction / Social Media Content Creation experience in an agency or in-house creative environment.
- Strong hands-on design and art direction experience — this is not a traditional content strategist role.
- Advanced, everyday experience with Adobe Creative Suite, TikTok, Meta, and native social creation tools.
- Strong understanding of social behaviors, formats, trends, and platform best practices.
- Proven ability to take concepts from idea → design → execution.
- Experience collaborating with designers, writers, editors, producers, strategists, and business stakeholders.
- Strong presentation and communication skills with the ability to confidently present creative work.
- Portfolio demonstrating art direction, conceptual thinking, and high-quality social/digital work.
- Agency experience is strongly preferred.
- Interest in technology, innovation, AI, and emerging creative tools.
🎨 Key Requirement: We need someone who can actually design, concept, art direct, and execute — not someone focused solely on content strategy.
