The PITCH

We’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of both big campaigns and social micro-content. Our ACDs here serve a slightly different (and more senior) role than more traditional “digital creative types,” but thankfully we’ll never use the term “digital ninja”.

Are you based in Delhi/ NCR? Geeking the creative world in the India market for 7+ years now? Oh well, we could be meant to be --

Here’s where you come in.

  • Use your creative craft, understanding of platforms and grasp of culture to solve marketing problems for a variety of brands.
  • You have the most challenging role in the creative department as your duties are split between both doing the work as well as helping manage some of the work.
  • You spend roughly 80% of your time working on solving briefs and 20% of your time managing projects under the direction of CD.
  • You don’t have an assigned partner so you often work alone with another creatives in the pod. And sometimes you partner with the CD. While other members of the pod do not technically report to you, it’s expected that you help mentor them when possible.

You have the most challenging role in the creative department. You fulfill the duties of an AD or CW but also help manage projects under your CD’s discretion. #thenavysealsofcreative

Qualifications include

  • Proven art direction, writing and design skills of 7 years
  • Strong understanding of ideas versus tactics

  • Great with feedback and revisions 

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S Portfolio would be nice :)
