Creative Director
What’s up? We’re Vayner3! A brand new part of the VaynerX family, dedicated to building the future of NFTs – partnering with celebrities and brands to make magic happen. Day in and day out, we propel some of the biggest IP owners in the world to the intersection of attention and culture… NFTs.
Culture is our key and Empathy is how we build it. VaynerX is built on a combination of diverse backgrounds collaborating to put forward innovative, creative and strategic solutions to the one advantage that stands the test of time — PEOPLE.
At Vayner3, we’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively – and shares a genuine passion for building communities and understanding the world of NFTS. In this world, our strategists serve a slightly different role than more traditional “management consultant types,” but we are very interested in the structured problem solving, the comfort with a blank sheet of paper, and the skill at turning complex topics into simple mental models that you might bring to the table!
The Pitch:
Looking to make the move and step up into a leadership role? Then this could be for you. We’re looking for another CD to join the creative leadership team. You’ll be the go-to creative for a couple of our accounts, leading creative teams with a focus on the best work possible. Guiding and shaping great ideas that hit the client briefs and make us all proud. Adept at presenting, you are able to work alongside client partnership teams to build our web3 presence. You’re used to negotiating your way to the best creative answers for the campaigns whilst keeping clients on our side. But you also know when to push back on the client’s feedback, and how to defend the work with grace and meaning.
For this role we need someone who is equal parts wordsmith and visual tastemaker. Your skills hail from the copy side of things – not only adept at conveying concepts with clarity, but write copy that motivates and connects across campaigns and media. That doesn’t mean that you don’t know visuals. Your years of experience will have added a depth of understanding visual language to your core skills. You’ll be working with visual partners be they creators, designers, editors or film makers and know how to make the most of their skills and draw a team together.
This is a full-time role based in NY, FL, or CHI.
