Our remit is to drive culture for our clients through best-in-class creative that lives socially. Those aren’t just pretty words we use in pitches or in speeches at conferences. We live and breathe social-first creative. In some cases that means creative that starts on social channels, but we broaden our definition of social creative — this isn’t just posts and tweets, it’s culture-driving creative that is shareable, that creates moments of connection and engagement online.

Managing a team of 50 Creatives is an ECD level big agency job. Sounds like a hoax or a misprint. Not to mention, there would be other levels of creative directors below you. No way one person could manage 50 people directly. Something is totally off.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Do creative directors have to manage people?
I don’t like managing people, especially juniors who are still figuring out their career paths. But at my company, in order to be considered a leader, you have to manage people. I see myself as a leader, contributing ideas and strategy… I just don’t want to deal with developing performance goals and compensation. Is this the case everywhere? Can I be a creative leader without managing?

I have the rest of the job down, the creative & client building side. Just a little lost on the deliverables on this ask. This was not something a CD at prev company.
