Los Angeles

MediaMonks LA is hiring a Senior Creative (Art) ready to get their hands dirty, conceptualize, design, pitch and produce work for one of the world’s most beloved brands in our Los Angeles Office. Innovative ideas come naturally to you, but you also have a strong background in art direction and design, as well as experience working in a multidisciplinary and diverse team.

Please be attentive to the requirements and accompany your portfolio with a custom (concise) cover letter or summary detailing why you’re the right Monk for the job. We’d love to probe your personal pitch.

The Lowdown

In this key role, you’ll be working on a global scale to create effective and innovative work for one of our biggest global clients.
Working as part of a dedicated team within MediaMonks, you’ll be in a unique position to influence creative processes and pitches across the entire account, taking on campaigns big, small and huge.
You’re responsible for the creation and execution of the high-stakes digital campaigns, web experiences, events in collaboration with other incredibly talented team players and different time zones.
You’ll be presenting to the client in person and through video calls, pitching for new projects or running workshops to collect new insights and ideas.
You identify what needs to be done on a creative level so that our PMs and producers can book sufficient time to make your projects shine.
You go above and beyond the original brief to push what’s possible on both a creative and technical level.
Whether it’s through programmatic targeting or dynamic content, your job is to creatively get the right message across to the right audience(s).
You’ll translate creative concepts into thorough briefs for our in-house artists.
For some projects you direct the visual style, for other projects, you help safeguard predefined ones.
You’ll produce creative proposals, sketches and mockups to kickstart new assignments.
You help to make sure all work is conceptually in line with the campaign’s objectives and client expectations.
You look after the execution of the concept and help to improve the work by offering new angles, inspiration, best practices and practical solutions — guaranteeing projects meet the creative standards MediaMonks is famed for.

Requirements

For this lead position, we’re looking for someone with 6+ years of high-level experience as an Art Director leading creative teams in an international environment.
You see the opportunities to concept and you get ready, sleeves rolled up, and tackle it with utmost grace.
You get excited at the idea to meet and present content to clients, versus breaking a sweat.
You’re equally capable and confident in dealing with high-end brands.
You have a comprehensive understanding of creative and design work streams and how we can continue to improve both going forward.
You have experience directing digital design, animation and illustration.
You’re skilled in creating concepts for display advertising and social (content) campaigns using images, animation and video.
Your pitch skills are as great as your concepting skills: you know how to make a case and sell people on an idea through beautifully designed presentation decks.
You have the ability and stamina to tackle the same challenge from a wide variety of angles.
You’re a team player with leadership skills: you can keep a cool head when things get heated and are great at dealing with (stressed-out) clients and coworkers.

Life as a Monk

Working from our tree-house office on Abbott Kinney (currently remotely), you’ll be part and pencil of an international team that is dedicated to one of our most important clients. You’ll join a successful, bustling and super-fast-moving company creative people would kill to work for, operating as one team across locations with 2,500+ Monks and counting.
