Job: Senior Art Director

Salary: $125k-$150k

Location: Hybrid, NY based

*Only applications with portfolios and/or websites will be considered*

Here’s the deal

At Brave Spark we’re redefining what is creatively possible for our clients, and we’re growing our team in NY. This role would suit an energetic, ambitious senior art director who is looking to step up and become more central to our client’s campaigns. If you say “ambitious” and “entrepreneurial” when you look in the mirror, and if you care about craft and raise the standard of creativity everywhere you go, we should probably meet. We will also consider teams.

You would join our newly opened office in New York. The role is hybrid, 2 days at home and 3 days in the office. Brave Spark has been operating in the UK for the last 13 years and is part of the MSQ family. MSQ already has established agencies in New York, The Gate Worldwide, Stein IAS, Elmwood, Smarts and MBAstack.

Here’s the role

This part is a bit serious: One of your clients will be a professional accreditation organization in the financial industry. The right candidate for this role will have a passion for brand/creative development and execution. While your responsibility will be to create from concept to production (video, social and other creative assets), you will contribute to key elements of the brand’s holistic vision, working closely with our network of agencies on visual identity (Elmwood), email (MBAstack), website (MMT), and more. You will have a proven track record of successfully art directing video and photo shoots and designing for global brands. You will have a high degree of ownership and integrity; a strong problem solver with the ability to think critically. You will be client-facing, so meeting presence and presentation skills are vital.

There are opportunities to work on many other clients, through our New York office and our UK office as well. Both creative directors work closely together and will make sure you have a healthy balance of client work to feed your creative brain!

Here’s your story

OK this is another serious part: Depending on client, you will report to our chief creative officer in NY or our creative director in London. You are NY-based, and  will become the brand ambassador for our client, collaborating with their creative director to sell and produce work we all can be proud of. You will have:

• Expert knowledge of creative programs, including but not limited to Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, AfterEffects, Acrobat). Also PowerPoint (We know. We know. Us too. But we got used to it and it’s not so bad.) Web-based platforms such as Sketch / Figma would be amazing but not required.
• The confidence to present big ideas to a larger group or to our clients, able to inspire others and sell creative vision
• 5+ years of proven agency art direction and design experience
• Experience working within the financial space
• Strong grasp of design
• Strong portfolio with examples of recent projects demonstrating conceptual concepting, creative thinking and flawless execution
• The ability to manage and prioritize multiple client projects and demands at once
• Experience pitching, and working with a team to build winning pitch decks

Here’s our story

OK here’s a fun bit: Who are we? Brave Spark works with some of the world’s bravest brands to realize their wildest ambitions. We don’t do things like other agencies – we’ve taken what we love about the traditional models, and thrown the rest away. What’s left is a collection of writers, art directors, designers, filmmakers and technologists who create innovative videos, TV commercials, and digital campaigns, at pace and at a high quality. We want ambitious, entrepreneurial people who care about the craft and will raise the standard of creativity everywhere we go. We’ll give you the freedom to own and see through the work. We’ll get you in front of clients more, and sooner, so you have a deeper and better appreciation of what they need. We’ll support you in pushing clients to buy the hard and game changing work, not the easy routes and reduce barriers rather than add them. We’ll surround you with all kinds of makers to help your ideas come to life – film makers, editors, animators and designers, and top talents in data and strategy to help sell them in the first place.

We’re fun. We laugh. We’re nice. We genuinely like each other. Some of us have dogs. Some of us have cats. The dog owners try not to judge the cat owners, and visa vera. However they both judge people who don’t have pets. We talk about our favorite movies and binge watches. You should apply. Really. Have we mentioned you should apply? Because you should.
