What are the responsibilities and job description for the Executive Creative Director position at George P Johnson Experience Marketing?
We have an extraordinary opportunity for an extraordinary person. We hope it could be you.
GPJ is looking for a creative leader that will help us create the very future of what experiential marketing can be. This new team member will collaborate with one of our most dynamic, forward-thinking client brands and equally talented GPJ team on a variety of integrated programs and projects, events and experiences that will shape our industry moving forward.
This role will lead global growth and inspire local teams for an iconic brand.
The ideal candidate will work in our awesome New York office.
Our Opportunity.
This is an ECD-level position, which means the ideal candidate will have 10 years experience working in experiential marketing agencies, creative production companies, entertainment organizations or immersive entertainment companies. This individual will have experience creating, guiding and galvanizing large teams while working in concert with leaders from strategy, production and fabrication to bring it all together.
To be clear, we’re looking for someone who thinks big and creates even bigger. We’re looking for the force multiplier. The campaigns and programs they craft will be experiences and moments that unfold across screen, space, stage and time - telling stories and creating goose bumps through immersive environments, engagements and activations.
This is also a client-facing role, so working closely with brands and their creative teams will be the norm. Presenting ideas, concepts and designs will be at the heart of your day-to-day world. Being confident and comfortable with client executives, challenging perceptions and persuading with passion is mandatory.
Success will come in many forms outside of the creative work itself. Elements include:
Salary is dependent on a variety of factors including (but not limited to) experience, skills, and location.
Who We Are.
GPJ is the world leader in experiential marketing. Our 29 global offices are filled with fearless people dreaming up ideas that are transforming industries and bringing the most respected brands to life in powerful, exciting ways. We are a part of the Project Worldwide family. An independent, employee-owned global network of complementary, wholly owned agencies.
You read that “employee-owned” part, right? You heard us correctly. You work hard, she works hard, we all work hard… we all succeed and reap the rewards. We have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) – providing our employees with an ownership interest. We thought you would want to know that. In fact, there is a lot more you would want to know about us, like our FTO policy (no more “accruing” time off), our employer matching 401(k) plan (no vesting period), our “no employee contribution” healthcare option. But we are getting ahead of ourselves here, let us talk about this exciting opportunity first and we can fill you in on our perks & benefits later.
