Job Summary
Lead creative development from concept through production across major client work and new business. Build big campaign ideas, platform thinking, scripts, manifestos, social concepts, activations, and presentation decks. Write campaign lines, scripts, manifestos, headlines, social ideas, brand voice, decks, and whatever language makes the idea hit harder. Use OUTLEAP Thinking to push briefs beyond the expected and find the bigger opportunity inside the assignment. Partner closely with strategy, account, media, production, project management, AI teams, art directors, and outside vendors to get great work made. Collaborate with directors, editors, designers, photographers, illustrators, AI artists, production companies, and makers.
