What Makes This a Great Opportunity?

The Creative Director is the humble genius behind the development, look and feel, and visual representation of the National Business Furniture (NBF) brand.

• Build a culture on the team that is vibrant, curious, effusive about great creative, and oriented to performance
• Love creative, and be a champion of what good looks like

Rebranding & Brand Development

Creative strategy & development

• Determine the creative vision of the NBF brand, the associated creative strategy, and the manifestation of that vision and strategy through digital, print and other campaigns and assets

• Create and/or oversee the production of all forms of creative assets for internal (sales enablement) and external (customer/prospect audiences): a refreshed catalog as well as creative direction and assets for multi-touch and multi-channel campaigns
• Inspire the team live and breathe good creative — not developing creative for the sake of winning creative awards, but rather developing creative that brings the brand to life and engages and audience for mutual brand-business benefit and, as result, wins awards because of the outcomes
• Managing everything from ideation to execution: recognizing and championing great ideas, creative concept development, campaign and asset development, develop schedules, budget tracking, brand engagement and measurement of success
