At Flynn, we help Peace of Mind Brands perform better.
As the world changes and uncertainties grow, we’re constantly honing and boosting the strategic, creative ways we’re able to connect people and businesses with brands that provide the peace of mind they desire—companies, products, and services that are typically in healthcare, financial services, and insurance.
That’s why we’re seeking a Creative Director with significant, hands-on experience both with developing effective creative and helping the teams they manage to level up the agency’s work.
Enjoy helping teams improve their creative but still want to apply your craft on key projects? Crave leading and developing a talented team? Want to drive project success for a wide mix of national, regional, and local clients and produce award-winning work along the way? Enjoy pitching new business?
We’d definitely love to hear from you.
Our ideal candidate must be able to develop client trust, contribute to clients’ strategic objectives, provide leadership to the creative team, and obtain client buy-in on the initiatives that the agency proposes to support those objectives. Strong presentations skills are also a must, and a strong background in Art Direction is a big plus.
You’ll be happy to know that providing peace of mind for the people who work here is also a big part of our mission. So you’ll enjoy things like unlimited PTO, a generous benefits package, and a work-life balance that’s actually balanced.
