The Role: Associate Creative Director

We’re looking for a creative powerhouse to join our growing marketing team as an Associate Creative Director. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to shape how Ownwell shows up in the world across ads, partnerships, social, branding, and beyond. You’ll be our lead visual storyteller, translating business strategy into creative that converts, inspires, and builds brand love.

This role is perfect for a seasoned Senior Art Director or early-stage ACD - someone who’s done the work (not just overseen it), thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments, and is hungry to put points on the board. You’ll report directly to the Head of Growth & Marketing and partner with marketers and designers to bring campaigns and brand systems to life. You’ll spend most of your time creating: developing creative that’s campaign-ready and shipping work across digital, social, and print. From innovating on world-class direct mail campaigns to launching a new partnership with an NBA team to building the playbook for organic UGC, this role gives you space to lead and create with impact.

Responsibilities:

• Lead concepting and execution of creative campaigns across digital, social, direct mail, email, partnerships, and performance channels.
• Develop and maintain a cohesive visual identity and ensure brand consistency across all external touchpoints.
• Collaborate with marketing, design, and content to develop high-performing campaigns and assets that are both beautiful and effective.
• Own the visual direction and execution of our creative testing strategy - what’s working, why, and where we push boundaries next.
• Be hands-on with tools like Figma, Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, or After Effects to deliver work that’s ready to ship or guide external partners.
• Participate in user and market research to bring insights to life visually and emotionally.
• Contribute to and evolve our creative systems from style guides to asset libraries.
• Partner with sales and partnerships to deliver powerful collateral and event presence, adapting fast and solving in the moment.
• Own with curiosity, humility, and a bias for action.

Requirements:

• 5 to 8 years in creative roles (agency or in-house), with experience as a Senior Art Director or Associate Creative Director
• Strong portfolio across static and motion, showing both high-impact campaigns and performance-driven creative.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a love for moving quickly. You’re a “builder” at heart.
• Hands-on design skills with the ability to independently concept, iterate, and deliver high-quality visuals.
• Deep understanding of branding, creative strategy, and how to adapt tone and style to fit different channels.
• Growth mindset with an eagerness to learn, test, and adapt.
• Bonus if you’ve worked in a high-growth startup or with traditional consumer products (taxes, water bottles, packaged goods, you name it).
