Job Description:
At TUX, ACDs act as the main day-to-day creative contact for clients. They are hands-on in the creative work and have the ability to elevate strategic thinking from both a creative and business perspective. They are responsible for maintaining a constant 'I've got you' feeling with clients. In most cases, ACDs are responsible for bridging the gap between pitch and masterplan to execution, thoughtfully expanding the agency's POV across all touchpoints. An ACD should continuously help teams elevate their thinking and craft beyond simple rollout execution. We are always on the lookout for thoughtful visual innovation. At TUX, ACDs require a solid understanding of all facets of creative craft (design, still and motion art direction, copy), as they are tasked with finding, creating, and maintaining the creative spark of a brand platform or campaign. Depending on the scale of the project, this thoughtful assembly of copy, design, and art direction can be handled directly by the ACD or in collaboration with a team (copywriter, designer, art director). While an ACD can rely on the support of their Creative Director for deeper strategic direction, it is important that they demonstrate a strong understanding of how brand strategy, production, and media planning intersect. They should be able to think holistically about how these elements influence one another and shape the final output. The ACD is the first line of creative responsibility for timelines, deliverables, and budgets. Working with us means joining talented, passionate, and supportive teams. It also means thriving in a company culture that values and nurtures curiosity. Yes, you'll have access to tools and resources to keep learning year-round, but you'll also dive into offbeat, out-of-the-box projects—perfect for sparking inspiration. Speaking of which: we work a four-day week. Because great ideas don't just happen at the office between 9 and 5. Oh, and we're idealists. We're counting on you to help us build a company that's more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
