Job Description

Job Ttitle: Art Director

Company: BRUNNER


Description: DescriptionWe’re a culturally fluent creative agency built for brands that want to move at the speed of relevance. We create work that lives where people scroll, talk, laugh, cry, and remix. Our campaigns don’t follow trends-they become them. We move fast, think big, and stay rooted in culture. If you’ve got vision, taste, and the hustle to match-we wanna work with you.As a (mid-level) Art Director, you’re more than a tastemaker-you’re a collaborator, a builder, a strategic problem solver, and a go-to creative. You bring concept and craft together with a hustle mindset, turning big ideas into bold executions across every platform. You think in ideas first, but you’re hands-on with design, direction, and execution. Whether it’s a scrappy social concept or a full-scale campaign, you know how to make it work-and make it look .You’re not precious about the process. You’re flexible, fast, and fluent in the realities of making cool shit happen with creative partners who push you. You elevate everything you touch-and everyone around you.What You’ll Do

• Team up with writers, strategists, producers, and fellow creatives to develop 360° campaign concepts that flex across social, digital, OOH, and experiential
• Lead the visual development of ideas from references and mockups to rollout-ready
• Find creative solutions that balance brand goals, cultural relevance, and platform-native execution
• Co-own the creative process with your copy partner(s) and deliver tight, strategic work
• Art direct photoshoots, content creation, and post-production with a strong POV
• Jump in wherever needed-nimble (and hungry) thinkers thrive here
• Inspire junior creatives and keep the vibe collaborative, not competitive
• Stay tapped into emerging aesthetics, subcultures, and trends to keep our work fresh and fearless
• Pitch and sell work into internal teams, clients, and new biz prospects

RequirementsWhat You Bring

• 3-5 years of experience in an agency or fast-moving creative environment
• A portfolio that shows off smart, culturally aware ideas brought to life through sharp visual storytelling
• Strong concepting skills and the ability to adapt big thinking into quick-turn formats
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite; bonus for motion, Ai tools, or Figma
• A deep understanding of digital, social, and traditional channels & mediums
• Presentations chops that get people to like you and your thinking-you must be comfortable with clients, integrated teams, and the pressure of new biz
• Experience working with multicultural audiences and brands that thrive in culture
• An ego-free attitude and a “let’s figure it out” mentality
• Creative confidence, a collaborative spirit, and a hunger to keep learning and pushing
• Bachelor’s Degree from a four-year college or university preferred.
• Self-motivated to stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies and the ability to teach others.

Bonus Points If You Have/Are

• Experience in food/QSR, music, youth culture, or lifestyle brands
• Motion design and editorial chops
• Bilingual (Spanish/English or other languages)
• Ever made something that got shared in a group chat or with Mom’s book club
