ROLE OVERVIEW
The Kitchen is looking for an award-winning and innovative Art Director and Copywriter Team. You will be joining a team changing the way Kraft Heinz creates breakthrough creative and experiences.
This Creative team is made up of two dedicated partners whose out-of-the-box ideas and delivery are on the same wavelength and in constant sync. This pair will create a wide range of ideas and creative concepts that stand out and earn attention. The work will range from brand acts that create conversations, to advertising across a range of mediums, to compelling visual stories that stand out on social platforms. This duo will be a key part of a creative process that makes ideas, acts, and experiences that get shared and talked about on social and in the press. Together, you and the team are building a design culture that moves food marketing forward.
As the Copywriter, you will understand how to craft a headline-inspiring brand act, how to write attention-grabbing copy, and how to tell stories across a diverse range of mediums enabling you to tackle a variety of interesting and exciting challenges. Your experience in a variety of mediums, from traditional to social means that you have a wide lens for solving problems, breaking down norms, and delivering ideas that are interesting and disruptive. You know how to translate insights into copy that make people pay attention.
As the Art Director, you’ll use your strong concepting and ideation skills to produce great creative ideas and use your strength as a visual storyteller to bring them to life. You’ll translate your ideas (and the team’s concepts) into visuals for social media, digital advertising, and traditional content. You’ll partner with producers to make sure that a wide variety of content is captured and edited in a way that fits the iconic brands you represent. You’ll need a strong understanding of the best-practice design principles for Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, but you’ll also need to be comfortable breaking them with innovation that captures attention in new ways. Your experience in traditional mediums will help you raise the quality of work for social but also work at a pace that fits the dynamic needs of the digital environment. You’ll use your unique skillset and trained eye to inspire the design team around you.
As a team, your work will make a meaningful impact with a multi-talented team in North America (Toronto & Chicago) that blurs the lines of what advertising can be in today’s always-on, socially connected industry.
