Design Director, Campaign

New York, New York

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking a Design Director, Campaign to help lead big-idea thinking and drive the development of integrated, concept-led campaigns across our client portfolio. This is a creative manager role for someone who understands how strategy becomes story—and how story becomes impactful work in the world. 

With at least 8+ years of experience, including direct client engagement, you bring a proven ability to translate brand and business strategy into powerful creative platforms, campaign systems, and executions. You are fluent in campaign thinking and confident shaping ideas across channels, teams, and touchpoints. You know how to inspire others, elevate creative quality, and ensure ideas remain strong from first concept through launch. 

As a Design Director within Campaign, you will work in close partnership with Strategy, Account, and Marketing leadership to define creative direction, guide teams, and build trusted client relationships. You are as comfortable concepting and art directing as you are presenting work, mentoring talent, and contributing to new business efforts. 

Studio culture matters deeply to us. You are a thoughtful leader, proactive collaborator, and creative catalyst—someone who challenges thinking, encourages experimentation, and raises the bar for the work and the people around you. 

YOUR DAY TO DAY

  • Translate brand and business strategy into clear, compelling creative platforms and campaign ideas 
  • Provide creative leadership across multiple client engagements, ensuring consistency, quality, and conceptual strength

  • Oversee creative teams and workflows, contributing to timelines, deliverables, and resourcing alongside project leadership 
  • Confidently present creative concepts and work-in-progress to clients and internal stakeholders 
  • Participate in new business efforts, including pitches, presentations, and proposal development 
  • Stay connected to cultural, creative, and industry trends to inform campaign thinking 
  • Actively contribute to a studio culture that values curiosity, collaboration, and creative ambition 

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 8+ years of experience in Art Direction, Campaign Creative, or related roles, with increasing leadership responsibility 
  • BFA/BA/BS in Advertising or Graphic Design, or equivalent professional experience 
  • A portfolio demonstrating concept-driven, integrated campaigns and that demonstrate storytelling across brand strategy

  • Strong understanding of visual systems, and design principles across print and digital 
  • Experience working with brand and design systems within larger campaign ecosystems 
  • Proven ability to manage time, process, and workflow across multiple projects and teams 
  • Excellent verbal and written presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate creative vision and rationale

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
