The PITCH

We’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively, shares a passion for building communities, and understands the world of both big campaigns and social micro-content.

Our ACDs here serve a slightly different (and more senior) role than more traditional “digital creative types,” but thankfully we’ll never use the term “digital ninja”.

Here’s where you come in.

I use my creative craft, understanding of platforms and grasp of culture to solve marketing problems for a variety of brands. I have the most challenging role in the creative department as my duties are split between both doing the work as well as helping manage some of the work. I spend roughly 80% of my time working on solving briefs and 20% of my time managing projects under the direction of my CD. I don’t have an assigned partner so I often work alone. Occasionally, I’ll work with another creative in the pod. And sometimes I’ll partner with the CD. While other members of the pod do not technically report to me, it’s expected that I help mentor them when possible.

Your Experience

• Proven art direction, writing and design skills of 7 years of relevant work experience in the creative media or advertising field
• Business proficiency in Thai and English
• Worked with teams in complex, multi-geography, multi-cultural environments.
• Self-starter and demonstrates ability to get things done without direct supervision and understand what it means to deliver excellence to clients.
• Natural ability to develop and maintain key relationships with internal stakeholders.
• Lastly, think logically even under pressure and come up with innovative solutions to problems.
  
  

What You Should Know About VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S Send us your portfolio --- always excited to see some unicorn talents :)
