Creative Director (Leading Partner)

Our Creative Director will support all designers, creatives, and branding experts with ideation, strategy development, pitching new clients, and managing client-facing relations - with the support of our executive directors, of course.

Intro

Looking for an opportunity to be a leading co-partner and owner of company equity, while still doing the things you LOVE with a burning passion as a Creative Director? Don't mind taking a break without a salary during a probationary period? Does the idea of helping develop an agency in their rebuilding phase excite you?

Image this.

You wake up every morning after the sun rises, walk into your office at around 9-10am, ready to go. You jump on to notice your inbox is filled with creatives and designers pending your approvals, after following your instructions and ideas for what various new client brand strategies, campaigns, and identities should be depicted as. You jump on your daily nooner call, zip through the list of pendings, then look forward to an afternoon full of vastly different projects, depending on the day - mostly brainstorming with our founder and chief media executive, other directors, or maybe producing TV spots, running creative meetings, pitching new clients, the list goes on.

That's how the role will be once the probationary period is fully completed - ideally how it will be after just a few weeks of our rebuilding campaign has your extra help on it as well. For the first half of the probationary period, the majority of tasks will include branding strategies, content, SEO (if applicable), etc. for in-house projects like our website, socials, 3rd-party listing sites. Our primary objective is pitching clients, coming up with proposals, and outreach, however, which is where you earn your 15% equity.

About DMD Creative Studio

After freelancing as a paid ads and growth marketing specialist for a few years, our founder, Drew, was highly encouraged to start his own agency after his clients experienced better results than any agency had ever promised or kept for them before. Upon our launch in 2019, Drew quickly grew the team to 18, taking on a temporary partner specializing in operations.

As many things in life go, "DM Digital", as he called it back then, became quickly successful, but he grew fond of opportunities elsewhere, since his initial reason for freelancing was to gain experience and increase his chances for working at one of the Ogilvy's or Saatchi & Saatchi's.

A year or two later, he kept getting requests from clients, privately asking that he focus his expertise on them as his direct client, as no other agency had ever done better. Only taking a couple years away from his life as a founder, he made his way back in August of this year, rebranding our agency as DMD Creative Studio, the "anti-agency creative studio that designs memorable brand experiences that defy all conventional standards of growth, crushing all competitors."

Apply to join him and his team today and help speed up the rebuilding process, and in return receive THE MOST any partner has ever been offered before!
