Creative Director-1099

We're looking to build relationships with experienced freelance Creative Directors who can step in on a project basis to lead the development of high-impact public awareness campaigns. This role is ideal for creative leaders who thrive in fast-moving environments, can quickly orient themselves to new teams and challenges, and are passionate about work that serves the public good. What You'll Do: Lead concept development for integrated campaigns focused on public education, behavior change, and mission-driven impact. Guide multidisciplinary creative teams—designers, writers, animators, and producers—from brief through execution. Translate strategy into compelling, audience-relevant creative across formats (video, digital, OOH, print, social). Provide clear creative direction, actionable feedback, and hands-on support when needed. Ensure final deliverables are on-brand, on-brief, and aligned with client expectations. Collaborate closely with strategists, account leads, and production partners to deliver on tight timelines. What We're Looking For: 10+ years in creative roles, with experience leading integrated campaigns. A strong portfolio that includes public service, nonprofit, government, or cause-based work. Proven ability to develop breakthrough creative under constraints—limited budgets, layered approvals, or sensitive subject matter. Comfort jumping into projects midstream or building a vision from the ground up. Ability to both set direction and roll up your sleeves. Strong communication and remote collaboration skills.
