Similar level of drive and ambition. If you want to chase awards and push the work, you need a partner who wants that too. It’s the same if you want to be done by 5 every day.
I also like having similar taste in work, pop culture, etc. But it doesn’t have to be a 100% overlap and probably shouldn’t be.
Personally, I also like having an AD who is very collaborative and wants to concept together, help me with lines or scripts, and take my grain of salt on visual/design things here and there.
All of this! But I’ll also say they have to match my weird. Just because we have similar taste doesn’t mean we have compatible ways to communicate. Personality and work style matter a ton to me.
Art directors who come to concepting sessions with actual ideas to toss around. Not just a random picture of swipe and “I really like this aesthetic and want to do something with it.”
