Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Edelman is looking for a Senior Art Director to help us make things that culture will love. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world's most talked about work. Whether we're teaming up with RZA to replace an outdated and racist ice cream jingle, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It's not enough to be culturally relevant-our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong Senior Art Director with a sharp eye for design who can help unlock more of those weird, wild ideas. What kind of creative work will you do? We're glad you asked. Because our work doesn't really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there's no "standard" creative brief here. We're the kind of creative department that works on visual direction for a brand anthem video in the morning, switches over around lunchtime to concept a stunt that'll hijack culture, and ends our day by workshopping design elements in social content. And that's just a Monday. So, if you're looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the 30-second spot - the kind of ideas that end up in the pages of the New York Times and on the One Show shortlist - you'll be in good company here. To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it's why so many stay with us awhile.
