Our clients include some of the biggest, best brands on the planet. (Not exaggerating!) 

We are looking for an Associate Creative Director with an exceptional knowledge of the social media and (sub)cultural landscape; a content-obsessed creative who can deliver social-first, top-notch ideas and strategy. You’ll be a meme maverick, viral sensationalist, super reactive culture freak who can provide creative concepts that entertain, educate, inspire and work smart to bring our brand worlds to life.

You’re on the bleeding edge of trends; have a deep understanding of community building and engagement. You’re a subculture investigator and initiator; you have a sharp eye for design and a keen interest in storytelling. 

You will join our creative team in a mid-to-senior capacity and serve as the lead creative on several client accounts, as well as assisting with day to day content tasks, helping deliver viral-worthy content and campaigns centered around insightful BIG IDEAS while fostering an environment of collaboration and continuous learning.

Working at OK COOL as an Associate Creative Director means you have an eye for what’s trending and know how to translate that into a kick-ass idea for any client across fashion, beauty, sports, travel, tech, lifestyle, and more.

When it comes to social content, you understand the in’s and out’s of what’s making the internet tick and can come up with endless ways to establish and execute social strategies in quick, efficient, impactful ways. If you’ve made a hobby out of doom-scrolling and a part-time job out of sending your friends memes and viral videos all day—and want to get in on the fun and make some magic—then this is probably the job for you.

Your duties include but are not limited to:

  • Draw from contemporary culture to support the Creative team with producing innovative creative campaigns for organic and paid social (content, influencers, paid, and media partnerships)
  • Follow campaigns through from idea to delivery, ensuring the creative is in-line with the vision for the campaign, the client’s brand guidelines, and social media strategy
  • Interact collaboratively and take direction from the Creative Director, as well as working and serving as the lead Creative on several accounts independently
  • Develop the creative direction, narrative, and visual guidelines for clients at micro and macro levels
  • Sell your ideas with passion! Contribute to winning new business for the agency by generating and pitching ideas to prospective clients with confidence and ease
  • Support the Creative team on concepting for social media content like TikTok, Reels, IGTV, feed posts, YouTube shorts, and more
  • Stay on top of and help with the evolution of OK COOL’s style and brand to be leaders in the industry

Relevant experience:

  • Proven experience (5+ years) in a creative role within a social advertising agency or working for a brand
  • Strong portfolio showcasing a social-first approach to content and always-on creative
  • Demonstrated ability to illustrate ideas across multiple mediums/formats, primarily social-first static content and video
  • Positive outlook on administrative tasks and ability to treat creative and non-creative needs equally

Required skills:

  • Have four to five years minimum experience in ideating and producing social content + strategies, using native tools such as CapCut
  • Basic to intermediate-level proficiency in the full Adobe Creative Suite (primarily Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Premiere Pro)
  • Complete knowledge of Google Slides, Sheets, and more
  • Pitching + presentation skills; the ability to translate your work to clients with ease, clarity, and charisma
  • Have attention to detail
  • Be able to multitask while being focused on meeting monthly deadlines
  • Be team oriented, have excellent communication skills, desire to collaborate, and have an entrepreneurial mindset

What’s in it for you:

  • Opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands in the world.
  • Be part of a dynamic and creative team, contributing to groundbreaking, culture-shifting work.
  • Salary: ~$110K
  • 22 days PTO per year + 13 Federal Holidays
