Associate Creative Director

People Productions is looking for an Associate Creative Director. This position will be responsible for leading or co-leading projects from conception to creative direction to final production. We are looking for a unique skill set that combines strategic thinking with elegant design and copywriting skills to both create content and lead our 20-person dynamic creative staff.

Role

These are the 3 biggest things this role requires. If you do not have these, please continue your job search elsewhere:

• Medical marketing experience, preferred in the medical device market
• Copywriting – video scripts, web copy, print – all sorts of copywriting
• MarCom campaign development
  
  

We are a marketing/production agency in the heart of Boulder, working primarily with medical device and technology clients in B2B campaigns, content creation, and sales enablement. We pride ourselves in being able to take complex ideas and make them simple.

If you’re a strategic creative who enjoys constantly learning about science and technology, this is the job for you.

For our clients, you’ll be accountable for heavily researching and understanding their business initiatives and generating ideas to solve their big picture needs. You should be able to tell a compelling story, both verbally and visually. You’ll also be responsible for seeing these ideas come to fruition. You should feel comfortable getting in the trenches of production to actually create content, as well as being a leader in our team, providing guidance to creative staff members. Coaching and mentoring other members of our team is a key part of this role, too.
