Creative Director
Amalgam is a creative agency built on a single idea: complexity is an advantage. We partner with brands in transition, find what makes them distinctive, and turn that difference into something impossible to ignore.
Our clients arrive with ideas that sound unreasonable on paper. Flying boats. All electric muscle cars. Categories that do not exist yet. We protect what makes them different and turn it into market share.
We work as one compact, senior team across strategy, brand design, web, content, media, and analytics without handoffs and gaps. Everyone here does the work.
Role
You work across brand strategy, design, video, and web, and you understand media and how the work will perform once it enters the market. You lead creative, working hands-on inside the files alongside our founder and Chief Creative Officer.
What you will do
- Lead creative output across traditional design, film, and social/web experiences, collaborating with cross-functional executive leads as a unified team.
- Partner with strategists and executives to shape the idea before it becomes an execution.
- Direct designers, writers, editors, and developers, and give/receive feedback from clients and executive team members.
- You are fluent in the tools and you use them hands on, often learning the newest innovative ways to make the work better.
- Present to clients and hold the line helping to sell what makes the work distinctive alongside executive leads.
- Understand media and make decisions about format, length, and placement working alongside the media/creative/strategy executive leads.
What you bring
- Creative leadership across brand and campaign work.
- A portfolio that shows range across design, video, and digital.
- Hands on craft in current design and editing tools.
- The ability to take direction, act on it, and push back with a reason when you disagree.
- Zero ego.
- Calibrated to the work rather than to the title.
