Hello, we’re The Sasha Group! We serve a wide range of businesses from helping young startups develop their core to helping established brands think differently and flex with the times. From building brand foundations to building momentum, we combine creativity with thoughtfulness and speed to solve business challenges. We like to describe ourselves as “consultancy at the front and an agency ‘round the back.”

At The Sasha Group, we believe that smart, creative thinking is the ultimate variable that makes brands come to life, whether it’s the startup looking to break into a space or the big, well-known brand looking to break the mold. And while we believe good ideas can come from anywhere, not everyone has the talent, skills, and craft to bring those ideas to life through design, photography, video, and animation.

That’s where you come in.

We are looking for Art Directors who have the know-how and skills to work hands-on who can own and guide the creative process from ideation to execution. Sometimes you’ll be leading a team of designers to make a volume of memes and GIFs that’ll make people laugh and cry. Sometimes you’ll be collaborating in a brainstorm for a big campaign. Sometimes you’ll be on set—using your eye to make sure everything in frame looks “just so.” Every task is challenging, but highly rewarding.

Who’s on the team?

You’ll be joining a tightly-knit creative team working with emerging and established brands across CPG, fashion, food & beverage, financial services, entertainment, and more. The team is a diverse mix of makers, creators, and ideators from published authors to viral TikTokers. But we’re all passionate about our mission: How do we level-up our clients to be the next big thing?

And who are you?

• You are a creator and an ideator who can execute at both a high speed and volume.
• You believe that great ideas can come from anywhere.
• You enjoy collaborating with other marketing nerds.
• You are a digital native and understand the internet of things.
• You are hungry for great work.
• You are comfortable flying solo and running with a pack.
• You are an expert visual thinker and can tell a good story that’ll make people stop, listen, and then probably go buy something.
• You consume content and know the ingredients to relevant, thumb-stopping work.
• You have a talent to make anything look good.

The task at hand:

• Thinking visually and then communicating those visual ideas.
• Transforming thoughts and half-ideas into fun, innovative, and clever executions with your creative team.
• Connecting the dots between culture and content to make concise and relevant creative recommendations.
• Understanding, articulating, and strategically applying the latest best-practices to every creative opportunity.
• Championing the look and feel of your brands. (Style guides are your bible.)
• Following direction and giving/taking actionable creative feedback from internal teams and clients.
• Working across multiple brands and workstreams—big and small.

Sounds fun, but how about some specifics?

• Designing and animating social ads and organic content for various social and digital platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and TikTok.
• Cutting-up long-form video into bite-sized clips.
• Creating brand guidelines and playbooks for newly emerging brands.
• Working across all technical aspects of content production and delivery.
• Building out visual ideas via storyboards, mocks, sketches, etc.
• Cleaning up projects and file management.
• Approving work and giving feedback to your team of designers.
• Noodling big, omni-channel campaign concepts for brands looking to make some noise.
• Concepting art direction (set, casting, props, wardrobe, etc.) for video executions.
• Then: working with studio partners on the pre-production, production, and post-production of those executions.
• Designing thoughtful presentations that help sell in work and big ideas.

Qualifications:

• 2-4 years of experience in a similar role with proven leadership in visual thinking, art direction, and design skills.
• A portfolio reflecting strong visual concepting, design, and animation skills.
• Highly proficient in the full Adobe Creative Suite (expert in Photoshop, Illustrator and familiarity with After Effects and Premiere.)
• Organizational skills are a must.
• So is a forensic attention to detail.
• A strong understanding in digital media from Instagram Reels to OTT Video placements.
• Deep familiarity with social platforms (e.g., export settings, file formats, social safe zones, etc.)
• On-set (photography/video) experience and other visual crafts are a big plus: illustration, sketching, motion graphics, hand-lettering, etc.
• Thrives in a company of collaborative people, but can clearly demonstrate an ability to get things done without direct supervision.
• A collaborator who’s not afraid to leave ego at the door.
• Highly adaptable and willing to try and learn through trial and error.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment, working across multiple projects.
• Isn’t afraid to bring their passions, background, and personal experience to their work.

We have an incredible roster of big and small tech clients for whom we manage editorial and social channels, develop smart marketing strategies, drive news coverage, and create big ideas.

Codeword is a remote-first agency, though we have physical offices in NYC, SF, and SLC that we won’t make you visit.

You will be involved in concepting new ideas and producing work with a healthy amount of independence. This role will require the ability to stay on top of multiple open projects without the aid of a traditional account team, and communication is crucial as you will be working directly with our client stakeholders. We’re looking for someone who loves the process of conceptual thinking and strategy as much as the design and is able to communicate these great ideas clearly! Everything from brainstorming ideas, to layout design to illustration is seen in this role. 

You’ll also be tasked with pushing the boundaries of collaboration tools & non-design platforms, such as Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, Google Sites, etc.).

• Adapting already existing brand guidelines to new and existing projects
• Creating icons and illustrations for suites of internal communications

A few more things you should know about Codeword:

• The Codeword dream: Make good money doing work you care about with people you like. 

• We love our clients (they write the checks!), which means maintaining a high bar for the creativity, smarts, responsiveness, and communication skills we offer them. 

• We’re around 100 people, big enough to handle large-scale marketing programs, small enough that you’ll have an impact on our culture. 

• We’re a friendly team, we look after each other, and we grow our careers together. 

• We respect everyone’s personal life. After-hours emails are strongly frowned upon, night and weekend work is very rare, and employees are encouraged to pursue their side-hustles. 

• We’re all grownups here, and we trust each other to get the work done, whether at home or in an office or a time zone on the other side of the world. 

• We believe in defaulting to openness. Our calendars, our salary tiers, and our doors are open for all to see. (Except for secret client stuff, which we guard with our lives.)
