Who We Are

Experiment More. Risk Less.

The world is full of infinite combinations & outcomes. The only constant is, there is no perfect way. So, make haste. Experiment. Move forward. We’ll help you get there. We aren’t know-it-alls (because there’s too much to know). Instead, we have a “let’s see what works” mentality. This approach helps drive work we’re proud of and a culture that keeps us going. We’re a creatively driven, full- funnel agency that believes everything’s an experiment. We exist to take risks and challenges. We’re always asking What if and What next? We love trophies, but we’re most proud to be a 2023 Ad Age A-List Agency (#6), a 2023 Campaign US Independent Agency of the Year (#2), and a 2022/23 Adweek Midsize Agency of the Year. We’re about 170 folks across agency disciplines from the best agencies around the globe and a growing list of incredible clients.

What You’ll Do

Chemistry is looking for a Creative Director team to run two brands, mentor a really strong team of young creatives, and help us win new business on our path to being one of the best creative agencies in the country. (Hey, did we mention this year we were #6 on AdAge A-list? We’re making progress.)

You’ll be a CD team still doing the work, so it’d be a dream if you could whip up a full presentation on your own, but also know how to teach and help more junior teams bring their own campaigns to life at the same time. You’ll create an environment of creative experimentation and creative excellence, and you’ll lead by example. You can take criticism and give it – both in productive ways. Also, you like to work with people outside the creative department, you ask follow-up questions and you’re comfortable in front of a client. Oh, and you don’t mind calling out problems when you see them, and you’re proactive in getting them fixed so we can all make better work.

Awards are nice. A book full of killer solutions and high-level craft is even better. Bonus points if you’ve taught, mentored, and developed other talent along the way.

This is an opportunity to come in and own a piece of business while growing the agency. You won’t be left on an island, but you also won’t be micromanaged. We believe everything is an experiment, so come ready to try what’s worked at your other jobs and try some new things, too.

We’re open to candidates from anywhere, but you’ll need to move to Atlanta eventually.

DAY TO DAY DUTIES

  • Lead day-to-day creative for integrated account; play a key role in building trusted relationships with clients alongside other Chemistry teammates.
  • Partner closely with Strategy and Account leads to ensure our creative ideas make most effective use of an integrated mix of owned, earned and paid channels, and are deployed via innovative, targeted media and technology.
  • Determine the communications tasks for each campaign and partner with Strategy and Account Service to create briefs that guide creative success.
  • Not just mentor but inspire and challenge creatives within your group to make the best work of their lives and elevate the agency work while also making sure we don’t become a sweatshop.
  • Showcase an understanding of digital, social and emerging platforms and technologies.
  • Help win new business pitches.
  • Have a firm grasp on what globally recognized award-winning work looks like and can make it.
  • Lead video, print, and social production efforts
  • The position reports to Executive Creative Directors, Will Benham and Mike Groenewald

What You Bring To The Table

You’ll love this job if you’re equally excited about making integrated campaigns and social content, teaching teams how to make their best work, and helping big brands make big changes. You’ll have a primary client that takes up the majority of your time, and you’ll have opportunities to help on new business and other smaller accounts. Ideally, you’re equally comfortable going scrappy to get things done, and spending time crafting a concept to make it the best it can be with production partners. And you know how to communicate why the best idea is the best idea.

Requirements

  • Strong presentation skills
  • 6+ years of experience of agency creative experience
  • Experience with creating integrated advertising campaigns across multiple media channels
  • You’re like, super professional with clients and internal team
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal and written skills
  • Ambitious personality with a burning desire to help build a globally recognized creative agency
  • Ability to work under pressure and deadlines
  • A proven track record of helping craft powerful work

At Chemistry, we’re building a diverse workplace and an inclusive culture to give more people the chance to imagine, design, and help make communication better for our clients. Chemistry is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other legally protected characteristic.
