DDB is Hiring an Associate Creative Director, Copy Near Chicago, IL

Overview

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.

Responsibilities

  • Realizes the brand vision and marketing objectives through exceptional concepts and craftsmanship.
  • Helps the creative team establish tone of voice and a high standard of writing quality, with an expert grasp of style, syntax, and grammar.
  • Mentors other writers, both short- and long-form, by providing inspiring direction for both projects and long-term professional growth.
  • Directs external production vendors (directors, photographers, editors, sound engineers, and developers).
  • Oversees the planning and production of presentation materials.
  • Presents concepts, executions, and creative decisions to colleagues and clients.
  • Responsible for the proper placement, context, and meaning of creative elements across media platforms and formats, as well as the overall message within a creative assignment.
  • Works with producers and project managers to ensure all deliverables and deadlines are met within budget.
  • Reports state of account and current projects to Creative Directors on a regular basis.
  • Spreads expertise, passion, and innovation throughout the multi-agency team.
  • Generates extra-credit innovative ideas that can solve different aspects of the Army’s recruitment challenges.
  • Collaborates with other creative staff to share learning and experience, and to establish initiatives that will improve Team DDB’s creative product.
  • Contributes to overall office morale, spirit, and character.

Qualifications

  • 6-10 years’ experience as copywriter in a brand or digital agency.
  • 3-5 years’ experience as a creative manager.
  • Proven ability to develop award-winning creative concepts, art direction, and design.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with a cross-functional team of strategists, creatives, and channel specialists.

About DDB

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. More
