Role and Responsibilities

Although specific positions (Art, Copy, Design/Craft) will dictate a Senior Creative's undertakings, there are several core responsibilities common to the role at Decoded.

A writer should be able to craft anything from headlines to long format scripts, they have experience writing in a variety of tones and genres and can quickly adapt the voice of a brand across all types of mediums, whether that be a paid social ad to a radio spot to a testimonial film.

An art director should be able to easily conceptualize, articulate, and create comps/moodboards to complement and "sell-in" ideas. You should be able to pull visual looks, build decks, and adapt a brand's style guide in a variety of mediums, from banner ads to web to film.

Concepts

Senior Creatives will work under the guidance of an Associate Creative Director or a Creative Director to develop concepts and directions for creative ideas, campaigns, and executions. This will require them to make conceptual and stylistic decisions, including prototypes to illustrate their idea to other members of the team or management. This work can be done in conjunction with teams they're reporting to or working alongside.

Workload

Decoded Senior Creatives must have the ability to work on more than one project at a time. This includes abiding by timelines, receiving direction, and collaborating - all with a great eye for detail. They will also have the ability to self-cull ideas, and act as their own quality control for their projects by reviewing and editing their work before it is seen by the larger agency group or clients.

Client Presentations & Presentations

Senior Creatives will often attend client meetings. Sometimes it's for experience and observation, other times it will be to present their own work. It's expected that a Senior Creative will be able to clearly communicate an idea in a formal client setting and conduct themselves in a friendly, professional, and approachable manner.

Staying Curious

Senior creatives should consume as much culture, content, and trends as possible to help advise the work they create. You should demonstrate curiosity for the world and the things people create within it, whether it's a new platform, social media trends, art, music, film, lit, greatest hits of advertising, or new, emerging thought leadership on media, tech, and creativity. It's all a part of the self-starter, always curious, never-not-learning approach that we look for at the Senior level.

Skills

Senior Creatives should be confident with their ability to ideate, while also being reliable and fast-paced. As they master skills, they should continue to take on new skills, constantly growing and expanding their capabilities.
