Creative Director

by | Mar 31, 2016

Are you the one?  This is an incredibly unique and special opportunity: you will be our first ever Creative Director.  Our CD will be a great writer, but one who recognizes that words aren’t always the answer.  They’ll be a top talent, but someone who may or may not have a ton of experience in video.  Our CD will be gifted in working with our staff to grow to new creative heights through their bold vision, while at the same time honoring Storyfarm’s respectful and harmonious culture.  And our Creative Director will know the difference between commerce and art, and the art of picking your battles.  We are video production company looking for the right person to guide our creative growth.   We’re a busy shop, juggling 30-50 live client projects at any given time.  And we do things differently than most who’ve come before us and many of our contemporaries.  We’ve been growing steadily since our founding in 2010, we now have a full-time staff of 12.  We own almost all the gear we use.  And we use freelancers very rarely.  What this means to you is that you will have a committed full-time team, dedicated to helping you succeed in your role.  We have a CEO/Executive Producer, a Production Director, a Director of Photography, 5 cinematographer/editors and 4 motion designers ready to help you elevate our work and our client list.  We’re not a full-service ad agency and we have no intentions of every going that direction.  All we make is video, and because that’s what we want to do and we do best, that’s all we will ever make.  No logos, no websites, just videos.  Most of our work is for web playback, while 20-30% of what we do is for broadcast TV.  We tell clients we do as much of the creative as they’d like, anywhere from 0-100%.  We can concept, script and storyboard from scratch, we can execute someone else’s plan, or any level of collaboration in between.  Sometimes we serve as a trusted partner for ad agencies.  More often we’re working directly with Marketing Directors to create content that helps them achieve their goals.  Your role will be to work with all facets of our company: business/client development, creative concepting/scripting, oversight of all creative work, professional development of our staff, client relations and more.  This is not an executive role.  You will be doing lots of real, day to day things.
