We have a simple belief: Unexpected Works. It means that the best idea is the one you never saw coming. And the only path to genuinely unexpected works is through creativity. Not the kind that looks the part and helps everyone sleep at night, but surprising, brave, irrepressible creativity that gets people talking—and as a result, achieves outrageous outcomes for our clients. We constantly strive to build diverse teams where everyone brings something unique to the table. Because you can’t make the unexpected if you only work with the usual suspects. By bringing together diverse thinkers with different backgrounds and perspectives, we validate Bill Bernbach’s notion that an idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it. So, come be part of the magic.
This position is Associate Creative Director at Team DDB, an integrated organization consisting of nine agencies for one of the largest accounts in our network: the U.S. Army. This person is a copywriter by trade, with strong conceptual thinking, expert writing skills, and the leadership acumen to oversee others (junior creatives, cross-functional partners, production vendors) for the realization of all creative strategies. The ACD/CW is facile in many aspects of a modern marketing ecosystem—including video, social, experiential, and web—and is charged with developing inspiring campaign concepts, memorable storytelling, and flawless verbal execution across platforms and formats. The ACD also mentors young creatives, collaborates closely with specialists in other departments and partner agencies, shares examples from media and culture that elevate the quality of our work, approves deliverables on a project level, and is a clear and thoughtful presenter to colleagues and clients.
The U.S. Army provides an enormous array of opportunities for young people who want to make a dent in the Universe, but misperceptions and functional barriers loom large. Team DDB’s ambition is to make the Army the most irresistible life choice for a diverse new generation.

In 1949, three enterprising gentlemen, Bill Bernbach, Ned Doyle and Maxwell Dane gave the advertising industry a wake-up call. They introduced a new approach to marketing that relied on insight into human nature, respect for the consumer, and the power of creativity. In short, they said: Let's stop talking at people and let's start conversations that lead to action. This heritage is a unique strength that continually tells us who we are, what we believe and how we should behave. It inspires us to continually challenge standard convention. From Bill Bernbach to Keith Reinhard to the present gen...eration of DDB leaders, we are continuing the revolution.
