The posting

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

About the Role

Edelman is looking for a Temporary Creative Director, Art who lives at the intersection of culture, creativity, and the internet.

We're looking for someone who knows what people are talking about before it makes its way into a trend report. Someone who follows fashion, entertainment, music, creators, celebrity culture, and the conversations shaping social media—and knows how to turn those cultural moments into creative ideas that get people talking.

You're chronically online, in the best possible way. You understand the zeitgeist because you're genuinely part of it.

In this role, you'll lead the development of culturally relevant, social-first, and integrated creative campaigns for major consumer brands. You'll bring a strong visual point of view, sharp creative instincts, and an earned mindset to work that connects brands with the conversations people actually care about.

We're not necessarily looking for the biggest traditional agency portfolio. We're looking for someone with exceptional taste, cultural curiosity, and the ability to turn a timely insight into an idea worth sharing.

Who You Are

You're a culturally connected creative leader with a strong art direction background and a passion for making work that entertains, engages, and earns attention. You understand what makes people stop scrolling, why certain creators resonate, and how brands can participate authentically in cultural conversations.

You can think big and execute quickly, moving comfortably between integrated campaigns, talent-led productions, and smart, reactive social ideas. You bring a distinct creative perspective, confidence in your decisions, and a collaborative approach that makes the work and the people around you better.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the development of culturally relevant, social-first, and integrated creative campaigns that connect consumer brands with audiences through entertainment, conversation, and shared experiences.
  • Translate emerging trends across fashion, music, television, celebrity, creators, and internet culture into compelling creative concepts and visual storytelling.
  • Bring a strong art direction perspective to campaigns, content, shoots, talent-led creative, and digital experiences, ensuring work is visually distinctive and strategically grounded.
  • Identify opportunities for brands to collaborate with relevant creators, celebrities, and cultural voices, partnering with talent and entertainment teams to bring ideas to life.
  • Develop creative that is designed to earn attention, spark conversation, and encourage audiences to engage, share, and participate.
  • Move seamlessly between larger integrated campaigns and fast-moving social executions, recognizing when a simple, timely idea can deliver meaningful impact.
  • Lead creative development and presentations, confidently articulating ideas, making decisions, and guiding work through feedback, refinement, and execution.
  • Collaborate across creative, strategy, social, earned media, talent, and account teams to deliver ambitious work while fostering an inclusive, supportive creative environment.

Basic Qualifications

  • At least 8 years of experience in creative roles within advertising, marketing, communications, or integrated agency environments.
  • Demonstrated experience leading art direction and conceptual creative development across social-first and integrated campaigns.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing culturally relevant creative work, original thinking, and a distinctive visual point of view.
  • Experience developing and presenting creative concepts, leading multidisciplinary teams, and guiding work from initial idea through execution.
  • Strong understanding of social platforms, digital content, and how audiences engage with brands and culture.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience creating culturally relevant campaigns for consumer, retail, fashion, lifestyle, or entertainment brands.
  • Deep familiarity with emerging creators, entertainment trends, internet culture, and social behaviors, with the ability to translate insights into original creative ideas.
  • Experience developing creative concepts involving celebrities, influencers, creators, or entertainment partnerships.
  • Strong visual storytelling and art direction skills across photography, video, social content, and integrated campaigns.
  • An earned-first creative mindset, with experience developing ideas that generate conversation, participation, and organic attention.
  • Ability to balance ambitious creative thinking with agile, resourceful execution across varying production budgets and timelines.
  • Experience independently leading client presentations, navigating feedback, and guiding creative decisions.
  • A collaborative leadership approach that values different perspectives, adaptability, and creative problem-solving.
