Creative Director (financial district)

Want a unique opportunity to apply your skills for the greater good—and create award-winning work in the process? We want you.



We’re a nontraditional, San Francisco health and lifestyle advertising agency that likes to color outside the lines and loves a big, Cannes Lion of an idea. Innovation and compassion are the marks of our work for a range of high-profile, globally present clients (and some smaller ones, too), including Johnson & Johnson, the Diabetes Care Coalition and NovoNordisk. Print, television and interactive are our media, creating campaigns that run the gamut from consumer-focused image and direct response work to professionally-focused efforts. We care deeply about our work, and like knowing that it can even change lives.



As our company launches several exciting new brands, our team—comprised of talented art directors, designers (both print and Web), and copywriters—is seeking leadership, vision and a sense of humor at both the Creative Director and Associate Creative Director level.

* Elevate the creative end product via strategic and fearless thinking.

* Collaborate with and inspire senior creative staff; mentor junior staff.

* Experience successfully directing/ managing multidisciplinary creative teams in the production of Internet and multimedia products, and working among multi-disciplinary teams of producers, artists, designers, writers, and engineers.
