 The Role and What You’ll Do:

The Senior Art Director is a visual storyteller, creative problem solver and tasteful explorer who thrives in the passion of new, unexpected and big thinking that drives results for our clients especially in the world of experiential, activations, hospitality and events. We will encourage you to use every tool in your creative arsenal to create meaningful design and visual stories that engage consumers wherever (or however) they will experience your work. We build, we draw, we take pictures, we research, we geek out on technology, we get our hands dirty, we get into the weeds, and we manifest completely new ideas into existence.

As a Senior Art Director at 160over90, you will typically partner with a Senior Copywriter on creative assignments sharing the driver seat on projects, campaigns and daily tasks. As the Art part of the team, you have a deep passion for design and a keen understanding of experiential execution and how to bring the world of design into a spatial environment. Knowing the demands of and experience in traditional and digital media is a big plus. You get excited not by just concepting and presenting great work but experiencing and building out how that work comes to life. The proof is in the pudding and you love making work that works in the real world.

Senior Art Directors are responsible for brainstorming creative experiential concepts and owning that work in client presentations. You express your ideas clearly not just through art direction, but face-to-face, zoom-box-to-zoom-box. You’re the kind of person that truly gets excited by making things and tinkering with design in three-dimensional space and how best to design consumer movement through those spaces. You have a knack for storytelling and presenting ideas in a way that make people fall in love with your ideas. You’re collaborative, organized, accountable, give proper attention to the detail of your craft as well as integrating your teammates into your process.

With fearless creativity and independent effort – you roll up your sleeves and can deliver high quality work in a time-crunch while also leaving space in your workflow to mentor and train-up junior creatives.

While all creative staff reports to the Head of Creative, Senior Art Directors report to Associate Creative Directors or Creative Directors on a project basis and ultimately to the VP/GCD of their group.
