Code3 is an integrated marketing agency, powering business growth for digital disruptors and Fortune 500 leaders alike. Our power is at the intersection of Connections, Creative and Commerce – that’s what is in our DNA. By harvesting insights and utilizing audience data, we work with our clients to develop scroll-stopping content and creative that performs and elevates the brands we work with across all digital media platforms.
Our people are energized by challenges and sprint to find unorthodox solutions. We plan, activate and measure as one team, and we’re not afraid to push boundaries and test our way to success. Coders are Relentless, Gritty, Nimble humans who are always striving to be better.
As a Creative Director at Code3, you are a proven leader, creative strategist, storyteller and dazzling presenter. You are responsible for leading a portfolio of clients with dedicated team members assigned across those accounts. You leverage cross-category expertise to guide clients in what they should and can be doing to effectively meet their business objectives and drive KPI’s. You can bring your own ideas to life, as well as collaborate with other creatives to determine the best visual execution of a concept. Flexibility and collaboration are keys to success as we're not the traditional agency creative team. We're looking for someone who understands the nuance of every channel and speaks social trends fluently - but also sees beyond the pixels and pushes the boundaries of what the big picture looks like (and is able to communicate that to clients). You will report into the Head of Creative and you’ll have other members of the Creative team reporting into you.
What you’ll do:
- Oversee creative strategy that informs advertising outputs across clients
- Deliver on creative vision and ensure creative excellence
- Receive and provide constructive feedback from/to internal teams and clients
- Guide copywriters and designers in framing the ideas and storytelling via storyboards, mocks, write-ups, etc.
- Create 1-1 relationships with clients, acting as a trusted creative partner to senior level marketing leaders
- Support in managing the creative operations with leadership team
- Mentor Creative team members
- Integrate with other departments to ensure all work is cohesive and we are growing client relationships
- Balance working across multiple projects and workstreams, and support creative team members in prioritizing their work as needed
- Partner with the growth team and other team leaders to create compelling pitch materials - and pitch them - to drive Code3 revenue
Who will love this role:
- An innovator with a strong ability to identify emerging platforms and trends in the digital space
- An inspiring leader who is able to create a vision and bring along colleagues, teammates, and clients in that vision
- An experienced presenter who can sell their ideas and creative strategy to other leaders internally and externally
- A relationship builder who takes the time to understand their clients’ needs and grow the partnership
- An adaptable collaborator who is receptive to feedback and knows how to find the best solution
You should have:
- Experience building a creative team/offering that is social and digital centered
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline oriented environment
- Ability to guide creative from big idea through execution
- Excellent communication skills
- A portfolio that wows - ideally with design experience
- An openness to experimentation and curiosity around AI and new technology
- Deep familiarity with social platforms (paid and organic), retail/commerce platforms (i.e. Amazon, Walmart, etc) and video (i.e. CTV)
Perks and Benefits:
- Full medical and dental benefits and generous retirement program
- Thoughtful parental leave and return program
- Flexible Time Off, holidays, quarterly Company “Recharge” Days, and holiday closure in December
- Ongoing learning and development opportunities
- Commitment to transparent DEIB practices
