Senior Art Director
Circa-IPG Dxtra
Art director job in Chicago, IL
If you're reading this, you're probably scrolling on your phone. Perfect. Let's talk.
The Weber Shandwick Collective
(TWSC) is looking for a Senior ArtDirector who lives and breathes the internet to join our team in Chicago. If you have a running theory about the next big TikTok trend or can spot a meme format before it's viral, you might just have found your calling.
This isn't a role for someone who dips their toes into media trends; it's for someone who dives headfirst. Imagine yourself crafting groundbreaking campaigns that spark joy, ignite shares, and earn a permanent spot in people's lives. We want the kind of ideas that don't just ride the wave, but that create the wave.
Let's be clear: this is not the job where you're cranking out uninspired visuals and the same old rinse-and-repeat ideas. This is the job, and the agency, where ideas meet cultural currency. Where you'll create the campaign that everyone shares before lunch. Where ideas become award-winning work that's discussed around the country.
So, let's talk specifics.
What You'll Do (Other than Make Everyone Wish They'd Come Up With That Idea)
Be a builder: You'll drive ideation of attention-grabbing ideas. You'll work alongside various disciplines from strategy to account to media relations and analytics (to name a few), co-building to ensure your ideas transcend platforms and break the internet. All the while, mentoring and fostering junior creative talent.
Own the voice: Be a guardian of the visual identity of the brand and for each campaign you work on.
Balance art and strategy: Stay playful, but always purposeful. Your visuals and ideas don't just entertain, they deliver results.
Be the pulse of culture: You need to know before anyone else what Gens Alpha and Z are doing on social channels, why brands are jumping all over a meme, what conversations are capturing the attention of journalists (and why) and who is poised to become the next big thing in the cultural conversation. These inputs will shape the ideas you develop and bring to teams and clients.
Monitor the Zeitgeist: Research platforms, subcultures, emerging media, and niche communities to unearth untapped opportunities.
What You'll Bring (Besides a Hypothetical Prize for Best)
Obsessive curiosity: About trends, people, platforms, memes, and the mechanics of why certain things
just work
.
A social media sixth sense: You know which platforms matter most, what kind of content works where, and how to surprise people within the context of their scroll.
Pop culture proficiency: From mainstream moments to niche internet corners, you stay plugged into what everyone's talking about, and what they're about to.
Experience: 5 years art direction and/or design experience, especially if you've worked on social-first campaigns or for culturally relevant brands. You'll of course need to work quickly and accurately within all aspects of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) as well as presentation software (PowerPoint). Bonus points for illustration, After Effects, photography, retouching, filmmaking, videography, editorial, animation, HTML.
A sense of humor: If you can't laugh at yourself (or at least at the internet), we're not the place for you.
Why You'll Love It Here (Other than the Snacks)
You'll work with some of the best creatives in the business, a team fueled by bold ideas, cultural insights, and enough caffeine to power a small city.
You'll have the freedom to experiment, fail forward, and redefine what “earned-first creativity” means.
You'll create work that matters to brands, to audiences, and to culture at large.
Final Thought (Because We're Big on Storytelling)
This job isn't just about understanding what makes good images. It's about being the creative who reshapes how brands communicate in this endlessly scrolling, algorithm-ruled world. It's about showing up every day with fresh ideas and a love for the craft. And maybe, just maybe, it's about finally justifying all the hours you spend on TikTok.
If this sounds like you, let's create something worth bookmarking.
Send us your portfolio, résumé, and a list of the accounts and trends you're loving right now. Because if we're going to shape culture, we want to know you're already in it.
Cue the end slate. Let's make some magic.
Salary range: $80,000 - $110,000
Where an employee or prospective employee is paid within this range will depend on, among other factors, actual ranges for current/former employees in the subject position; market considerations; budgetary considerations; tenure and standing with the company (applicable to current employees); as well as the employee's/applicant's background, pertinent experience, and qualifications.
Weber Shandwick is proud to be an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.

Reporting to the Creative Director, you will be the team's visual tastemaker and on-the-ground storyteller, creating engaging tutorials and case studies that showcase AI in action.
In this unique, "pure social media content creator" role, your talent lies in setting the creative direction and executing the authentic, educational moments that fuel our social channels. While you will be supported by a wider team (including other editors who can assist), you must be an agile, independent contributor capable of taking a project from concept to final delivery, including editing and motion graphics. If you thrive on turning strategy into beautiful, socially-native content and are excited about AI, this is the role for you.
Responsibilities:
1) The Role & Core Responsibilities
Be an Independent Maker: Function as an all-in-one creator-concepting ideas, presenting them to the Creative Director, and then independently executing the filming and editing of those concepts.
Create Tutorials and Case Studies: Develop and produce social-first content that demonstrates how to use AI tools in real-world scenarios (e.g., filming a step-by-step guide on using AI to pick the best pumpkin).
Be the "Voice and Hands": You must be comfortable serving as the hand talent and providing voiceovers for tutorials. Your face will not be seen, but you will be responsible for clear demonstrations and audio.
Be a Key Visual Contributor: Serve as a primary creative force for the account, partnering closely with the full team to ensure creative excellence and consistency.
Champion Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with strategists to translate complex tech insights into clear visual territories, and with copywriters to ensure a seamless fusion of word and image.
Maintain a Passion for Tech: Keep a finger on the pulse of the Gen AI space, bringing fresh thinking, innovative ideas, and genuine enthusiasm for AI to the team and the client.
2) Art Direction & Visual Strategy
Implement and Uphold the Visual Direction: Champion the social media style guide and visual identity, ensuring it is applied consistently and effectively.
Concept & Contribute: Actively participate in ideation and brainstorming sessions, creating mood boards and mockups to explore and communicate visual concepts.
Translate the Abstract: Take complex concepts related to technology and AI and make them accessible, beautiful, and engaging for a social media audience.
Own the Execution: Take ownership of your projects from start to finish. While you may partner with our dedicated editors when needed, you must maintain the ability to fully execute projects independently.
Elevate the Work: Ensure all creative output is of the highest quality, strategically sound, and culturally relevant.
3) Production & Post-Production
Be the On-the-Ground Creator: You'll be tasked with capturing high-quality, authentic photo and video content. This requires agility and flexibility to work from your own setup, our client's office, or join the Creative Director on set/location.
Master of Mobile: Demonstrate an expert ability to shoot and compose compelling content on a mobile device. You know the best practices for lighting, framing, and capturing clean audio (including "tiny mic" style filming) in real-world environments.
Tell a Raw Story: Specialize in creating content that feels native, timely, and human. You can spot a great moment and capture it in a way that resonates instantly on platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok.
Robust Editing and Motion Graphics: You must have hands-on editing and motion graphics experience. You are expected to handle the full post-production process for the content you capture, utilizing both mobile apps and desktop software.
