Executive Creative Director - Portland, OR, United States - Sparkloft Media
Description
Sparkloft Media is on the hunt for an Executive Creative Director (ECD) ready to lead our creative team based in Portland (OR) or Atlanta (GA). As an innovator and visionary with a growth mind-set, the ECD will play a pivotal role in sculpting the future of our full-service creative ensemble, which boasts a talented roster of designers, art directors, photographers, videographers, writers, editors, and motion specialists. Your mission? To empower your team, foster unparalleled creativity, and structure our capabilities to excel not just today, but well into the future.
The ideal candidate is someone who not only possesses a profound understanding of current creative and social trends but also has a proven track record of transforming strategic visions into impactful realities. You'll be at the heart of our most complex campaigns, ensuring they not only resonate with our audiences but also drive tangible results for our clients.
This role demands an individual who is as comfortable leading from the front as they are nurturing the talents of their team, ensuring that every piece of work not only sparks joy in the connection points between audiences and brands but also sets new benchmarks in creative excellence.
Please note that while we work in a hybrid work environment and we currently do not require team members to work from our office this position requires regular interactions with our team members as well as clients. As the majority of them reside in Portland (OR) and Atlanta (GA) we are only considering candidates who are currently living in or near either one of those cities.
About Us
Just as our name states, we spark ideas and ignite a passion for great storytelling. We are a team of connectors, collaborators, and creatives who see the value in both technology trends and the human experience. Our genesis is as a social-first agency, so we are experts at connecting with audiences at eye level in person and on social feeds. As we have evolved over the last 15 years, we have become community builders for brands to tell their stories through integrated campaigns. We understand our audiences as wholly realized people with lives, loves, and dreams — not just as segments in need of activating. Our staff is made up of diverse minds, backgrounds, and perspectives to drive positive change for our clients, communities, and team members.
We've created groundbreaking work for clients around the world like Travel Oregon, Coca-Cola, Tillamook, Delta Air Lines, Amazon, Intel, Warner Bros., and Adidas.
