Freelance Social Art Director

Job description

WHAT YOU'LL DO Chemistry is looking for an Art Director to up our social game, make things that spark conversation, and play a part in a social super team that helps us on our path to being one of the best creative agencies in the country. We believe everything is an experiment, so come ready to try what’s worked at your other jobs and try some new things too. This is a great fit for you if you live and breathe social and love to find a way to make everything engaging and entertaining. Do you love to make jokes about the everyday? Is making the mundane magic something that makes you happy? Does the thought of making culturally relevant Caribbean content sound like a good time? Are you just as comfortable thinking in content series and one-off responses, full campaigns, and social moments that earn impressions? Great! Then we think you’re gonna love this. Ideally you’ve already spent time on social accounts and you love it. You know the difference between creating organic content with no budget and creating paid supported content with a good budget. You’re comfortable with best practices, and just as comfortable breaking them and finding new ways to break through. You’re equally comfortable going scrappy to get things done, and spending time crafting a concept to make it the best it can be. Bonus points if you know how to talk about what makes a good idea a good idea. You like to work with people outside the creative department, you’re eager to learn, you ask followup questions and you’re comfortable taking feedback on your work. You don’t mind calling out problems when you see them, and you’re proactive in getting them fixed so we can all make better work. Awards are nice. A book full of killer solutions and visuals that makes us jealous is even better. What You’ll Need 2+ years working as a social-first art director A portfolio that shows a blend of great visual craft, killer concepting, and integrated thinking An interest in trying new approaches and building new ways to work Experience creating for brands across social platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, whatever’s next) Empathy and the ability to talk creative with other departments Solid presentation skills a plus.
