About RYZE:
This role is for a creatively restless problem-solver who’s excited to shape a growing CPG brand from the inside. You’ll partner closely with a copywriter as a creative duo, building campaigns, launches, and brand moments that break through the noise, resonate with audiences, and tune into culture.You get excited to think of big ideas and beyond the brief, but you’re also a doer and can execute. You want to help define and evolve the brand’s visual world, and are obsessed not just with art and design, but also finding solutions that are thoughtful and deeply rooted in consumer insights. You’re tapped into culture and can bring a unique POV.
You’re a Swiss-army-knife Creative with taste, range, and speed. You can concept ideas for a national campaign, design a poster or package, establish a look/feel moodboard for an emotional tv spot or a funny social content video, and create an experiential idea - sometimes all in the same week. You’re curious about new tools (yes, including AI), you’re proactive with coming up with ideas, and you’re energized by brands that move fast and play smart.
