Creative Department Partner Needed (Creative Direction + Design + Video + Project Management)
Worldwide
Creative Department Partner Needed (Creative Direction + Design + Video + Project Management) We are a growing direct-to-consumer company focused on education, storytelling, subscriptions, gifting, and premium physical products. We're looking for an agency that can function as an extension of our team and take ownership of both creative execution and creative management. This is not a design-only role. This is not a project management-only role. We need a partner that can help us consistently produce high-quality creative while ensuring projects stay organized, on schedule, and aligned with business goals. ## What We Need Our work includes: * Paid advertising creative * Graphic design * Video editing and production * Email creative * Social media content * Landing pages * Product launches * Brand and campaign development The ideal agency has strong creative leadership, excellent project management, talented designers and editors, and a proven process for delivering quality work consistently. ## Why We're Hiring We've worked with talented freelancers and agencies, but have struggled with inconsistency. Projects move too slowly. Feedback gets lost. Creative misses the objective. Quality varies from project to project. Too much time falls back on leadership to manage the process. We have plenty of ideas. What we need is a team that can turn those ideas into consistently excellent creative without requiring us to manage every step of the process. ## How We Like To Work Before creating assets, we expect our creative partner to understand the objective. That means asking thoughtful questions, understanding the audience, understanding the desired outcome, and proposing solutions rather than simply taking orders. We value: * Strong communication * Fast iteration * Accountability * Proactive thinking * Continuous improvement * Speed without sacrificing quality We want a partner that brings ideas to the table, not just someone who waits for instructions. ## What Success Looks Like A successful partnership will result in: * Consistently strong creative output * Faster turnaround times * Better organization and project flow * Fewer revisions caused by misunderstandings * Stronger brand consistency * Less time spent by leadership managing creative projects * A creative operation that becomes more efficient and effective over time ## When Applying Please answer the following: **1. Tell us about a client where you acted as their outsourced creative department. What did your team handle, and what were the results?** **2. Who would be assigned to our account, and what are their roles?** **3. Share 3–5 examples of work that best represent the quality and type of creative your team produces.**
