Creative Team (Art Director / Copywriter)

Tombras, a 400+ person, full-service, national advertising agency with a digital mindset, is seeking a Creative Team (Art Director / Copywriter) for our Creative Department.

What you’ll be doing:

• Create award winning work. 
• Own projects from start to finish. Whether it’s a single social post or a 360 campaign, we need teams who have the skills to take projects across the finish line. 
• Develop concepts for TV, social media, radio and if you’re lucky, even the occasional bus stop billboard. 

What you bring:

• An unbreakable bond between you and your partner like Frodo and Sam.

• You’re a culture junkie who loves a good idea
