Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 
At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.
Edelman is looking for an ACD to help us make things that culture will love. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world’s most talked about work. Whether we're teaming up with RZA to replace an outdated and racist ice cream jingle, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It’s not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong ACD Copywriter who can help unlock more of those weird, wild ideas. 
What kind of creative work will you do? We’re glad you asked. Because our work doesn’t really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there’s no “standard” creative brief here. We’re the kind of creative department that works on scripts for a heartfelt brand anthem in the morning, switches over around lunchtime to concepting for a brand stunt that’ll hijack culture, and end our day by workshopping funny tweets. And that’s just a Monday. So, if you’re looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the 30-second spot – the kind of ideas that end up in the pages of the New York Times and on the One Show shortlist – you’ll be in good company here.  
To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it’s why so many stay with us awhile. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another, encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture. ResponsibilitiesWork in partnership with an Associate Creative Director, Copywriter and at the direction of creative leadership to concept and plan execution of integrated campaigns and programs across a wide range of media and platforms, especially social, digital, video, experiences and content   Create and design campaign ideas for client projects and new business pitches that are earned-first and social by design   Work in concert with a wide range of specialties including account, strategy, project management, and influencer      Develop tactics which bring creative concepts to life and achieve program objectives    Manage multiple jobs simultaneously; managing and providing direction to other team members as needed  Work closely with a project manager and production partners to schedule projects and coordinate production  Prepare and present client creative presentations; Drive client approval process  Work effectively with external vendors and internal colleagues to complete projects within timeframe and budget  Basic QualificationsAt least 6 years experience managing day-to-day changes at every level of detail and handling them with a team oriented, entrepreneurial spirit  A bachelor’s degree, preferably in Fine Arts, Advertising or Graphic Design Preferred QualificationsExperience maintaining client contact as needed and assist with budget and schedule development  Ability to prioritize and manage work, adhering to critical project timelines in a fast-paced environment  Previous roles in Advertising or Graphic Design, a portfolio of ideas and executions demonstrating strong layout and composition with a keen eye for typography and motion    A professional-level mastery of industry standard design software and tools including the full suite of Adobe Creative Cloud    Production experience in art direction and design for video, digital and social platforms  Experience in influencer and or community management a plus  Pride in your previous work and the ability to speak to it clearly and concisely during the interview process $86,000 - $133,000 a yearAn employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, travel requirements, revenue-based metrics, any contractual agreements, and business or organizational needs.
