Associate Creative Director responsible for copywriting and campaign concepts in a marketing consultancy.
Обязанности
- is a revenue-first marketing consultancy built to serve B2B SaaS, enterprise technology, industrial, and commerce brands. We don't make things look good for its own sake. We build visual systems that hold up under the pressure of performance channels, complex professional services positioning, and a buying audience that starts with a CMO and ends with a CFO.
- We are looking for an Associate Creative Director who will translate Moments that Matter into creative territories, messaging hypotheses, campaign concepts, headlines, CTAs, and copy direction that designers can execute against. The Associate Creative Director will bring senior-level creative judgment to work that is fast-moving, digital-first, and tied directly to business outcomes. This person will not simply wait for polished briefs or execute one-off design requests. They will help shape the ask, identify stronger creative angles, and translate strategic inputs into assets that feel clear, compelling, and differentiated. They will represent creative in strategic new-business and portfolio-sales opportunities, help build speculative and portfolio creative, and support ’s move toward campaign-style case studies that can drive account growth and new revenue.
- This is an individual contributor role — no direct reports — but the work will be high-visibility and the standard will be high. The ideal candidate is copywriting-led and campaign-minded. They should have enough executive presence to participate in client and leadership conversations, but remain hands-on enough to write copy, review briefs, develop messaging territories, and shape creative direction without needing a fully staffed creative team around them. They should understand performance creative as a system of hypotheses, tests, learnings, and scalable winners—not just brand execution or asset quality.
- Success means helping replace deliverable-based requests with campaign briefs grounded in business objectives, buyer insight, test variables, and success metrics. The ACD should raise the quality of creative thinking before work reaches production, improve how communicates to technical and enterprise buyers, and create the foundation for a scalable performance creative practice.
- 30-day success signal: Internal teams understand why this role exists, what it owns, and how creative requests should start shifting from asset asks to campaign briefs.
- Audited current creative requests, briefs, production workflows, pitch materials, and performance creative examples.
- Met with Creative Production, Paid Media, Growth, Sales, Account leadership, and executive stakeholders to understand opportunities.
- Defined what a “good” campaign brief needs to include before work enters production.
- Created a first draft of the campaign creative brief template tied to Moments that Matter / Stratos.
- Identified 2–3 priority use cases where the new model can prove value quickly, such as strategic account pitches, paid social campaigns, ABM campaigns, or portfolio-sales opportunities.
- Produced at least one example of a stronger campaign territory or messaging direction from an existing work.
- 90-day success signal: can point to live examples where creative strategy made the work sharper before production began, and stakeholders feel the new process is improving clarity, quality, and pitch readiness.
- Run several real briefs through a campaign-level creative process: insight, hypothesis, concept, copy direction, production handoff, launch, and learning.
- Developed creative territories, messaging angles, campaign copy, and testing recommendations for priority initiatives.
- Supported at least one new-business, strategic account, or portfolio-sales opportunity with speculative or campaign-style creative.
- Built a working partnership model with production designers so designers are executing against clearer concepts and copy direction.
- Created early examples of campaign-style case studies or internal proof points.
- Established a lightweight creative review rhythm focused on concept quality, message clarity, testability, and business relevance.
- Begun defining the message/proof library and taxonomy needed for learning to compound across campaigns.
- You have an established creative testing rhythm: hypothesis → variant → data → decision, repeatable without manual oversight.
