• Building a culture of trust and inspiration by recognizing talent, passion and commitment – and motivating each team member to deliver exceptional work in ways they never thought possible
• Partnering with client leads in fostering outstanding client relationships through creative and conceptual thought leadership, and building, managing, and growing relationships with senior/C-Suite marketing executives
• Playing an active role in new client acquisition and new business pitches – that means identifying new opportunities, establishing relationships with prospective clients and leading new business initiatives

• A four-year degree (master’s preferred) and fifteen or more years of hands-on experience in a creative leadership position at a digital advertising or PR agency
• An enviable track record of new business wins in the past 6–18 months
• Recognition in the industry as someone who pushes the craft of digital advertising to new levels, exhibits exceptional fiscal management and improves the economics of the business
• Ability to set direction and clearly define goals, motivating client teams and staff to own the challenge
• Proven experience leading B2B work.
• Experience leading creative work in several areas, including but not limited to brand campaigns, social media, content, production, website, and events.
• Experience working with automotive clients is a plus.
• Exceptional communication skills, unstoppable passion and drive – and a willingness to travel as needed
• Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALL·E, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation.
