Director Creative Daily Mail New York City

Job Description
The Creative Director is our in house creative leader who will lead a small team of designers to direct all video, graphic and website design of ad products, promotional assets, and best in class trade marketing materials.

You are a hands-on creative force (you love being “in the weeds”) who can work across many teams and understand the nuances of daily project management. Further, you can translate concepts easily to all stakeholders to sell in ideas.

Most importantly, you can tell a great story. Design to you is more than selecting PMS Colors. You understand user experience and strive to ensure that everything you design fosters a clear and impactful message.
