Help! Our ACD/Sr. Copywriter is missing a half! Seriously. When he walks the halls, he has to lean on the wall with his good half. It's sad watching him hop on one leg to get over to meetings. Are you the artistic Creative Director half that he needs? Ideally, you'd be an industry pro with awards on the desk but even better stories to share. You live and breathe interactive design. Your e-folio demonstrates you can work with big brands and you are driven to excel in a rich media environment. Building new business isn't scary to you. You have the “big ideas†and enjoy leading Art Directors and interactive writers in developing them. You possess strong communication skills and effectively work within a cross-functional team (but you probably wouldn't describe it that way).

- Work closely with Strategic Planners, Associate Creative Director, Technical Director, and other team members to review client strategies and develop strategic, innovative recommendations.
- Be a key player in the new business pitch process in planning as well as development of creative concepts and presentation materials, and pitching the business.
Qualifications
- An e-folio or sample URLs that demonstrate your creativity
