Quirk Creative, ranked #3 Fast Company’s Most Innovative Workplaces, is an award-winning, WBE-certified advertising agency specializing in video-based campaigns for social, digital and broadcast/streaming channels. We are a hybrid creative strategy and production agency, with our commercial directors in house. We’re looking for a full time Art Director to join our growing team.

This is a particularly good opportunity for a creative looking to get into commercial directing, as all of Quirk’s creatives have the option to learn how to direct & and eventually direct their own projects.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Working with our creative team to support development of strategic original commercial and campaign concepts for our clients. We strive for big ideas that drive real results for our clients—from PR-driving brand campaigns to response and sales driving performance campaigns across social, Linear TV, streaming, YouTube and beyond.
• Ensuring the overall visual aspects of our campaigns and commercials are engaging and consistent with client brand guidelines (primarily video but occasionally also OOH, Radio/Podcast, and Digital Display)
• Art direction for select clients, which may include leading and/or supporting:
• Development of graphic treatments for in-video visuals / supers / end cards
• Building presentation materials and other client-facing materials
• Coordination with prop and wardrobe stylists ahead of a shoot (and taking their place on smaller-budget sets) 
• Development of mood boards
• Presentation to clients alongside the accounts and creative teams
• Being on set to support Commercial Director and/or oversee visual elements of shoot as needed

To succeed in this role, you ideally:

• Have 2-4 years’ experience in a creative position (agency experience a must)
• Are fluent in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (and whatever other tools you need to craft killer designs) 
• Have an insatiable appetite for coming up with video campaign ideas
• Have a strong aesthetic sense with an ability to mold your designs to different brands, aesthetics, and objectives
• Are flexible working under sometimes tight deadlines
• Are hungry to get your hands dirty in all facets of advertising; some days you’re on set overseeing a TV production, other days you’re designing a lower third, and other days you’re putting together the best wardrobe mood board on the planet. No job is too big or too small for you.
• Are excited to work in a small team where you have tons of responsibility and room to grow. We’re not your typical agency and don’t intend to ever be.
• Are an absolute self-starter with a get-the-job-done mentality.

Pros:

• If you have social content experience – creating/editing content for TikTok/Meta, we’d love to hear about it, as our briefs are increasingly inclusive of social 

Benefits:

• 100% remote but must reside in either NY or NJ as you’ll often be on set
• Unlimited vacation days 
• Medical, vision & dental plans – 100% coverage including for dependents depending on plan selected
• 401(k) plan with % matching after 1 year
• HSA, FSA

As a proud woman-owned and run agency (part of the .1%), we understand the importance of diversity and inclusion. Embracing and advocating for diverse talent on and off-screen is a part of our DNA, because we understand that multiplicity of perspective makes for stronger creative. Our commitment is to continue learning, growing and leading through programming, practices, partnerships and policies to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Candidates should provide an online link to their portfolio. Please send materials to gaelan@quirkcreative.com & meryl@quirkcreative.com
