The Art Director role is a full-time (hybrid) position based out of our Boston office. We’re looking for a super-talented art director who designs or a designer who loves to art direct. Either works. But also, a fearless thinker, hard-working doer and a team player. If this sounds like you, we’d love you to come join our merry team of makers and creators.

Taking inspiration from everywhere (but frequently outside of advertising), you have a diverse armory of styles to call upon, and by nature keep abreast of what’s trending. 

Commercially astute, you’re able to grasp when something maybe creatively right but is just off-brand and can course correct. A natural when it comes to visual composition, you are also detail-oriented and ensure that this detail adds value (after all, we are the add+ agency).  

Comfortable in all mediums as an art director and designer and with most software, you can turn your hand to directing a shoot, planning and executing a website, creating an ad or guiding designers on a branding task. You are proficient in the backbone software packages of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, and a keen learner to expand your knowledge and employ it through motion graphics, and all the latest software. 

6+ years’ experience required, plus a portfolio that blows our black, white, and blue socks off!
