Creative Director full-time
Does the “Reptilian Brain” concept turn you on? Are you fascinated by the continual evolution of consumer behavior in media and digital marketing? Is your bookshelf (or iPad) stocked with writings by Lindstrom, Ariely, Kaheman, Thaler and Sunstein? Are you undaunted and inspired when asked to turn raw data into prime time commercial? Do you laugh instead of wincing when you are at the creative helm of a crucial campaign? You just might be what we are looking for, then!
Currently, we are looking for a full–time Creative Director to join our team. This challenging role combines a unique and diverse mix of production management, creative leadership and business acumen, with the ultimate responsibility of translating our 1’s and 0’s into a product message that is tantalizing and enticing to both our prospective and loyal customers.
What Do We Want:
You! Yes, you!
You live and breathe modern advances in psychology - especially behavioral economics and neuromarketing and their applications in advertising. You are a well-read problem solver that would likely come from a small agency, an advertising architect with excellent copy writing skills. You have the ability to work with business minds to get a message articulated in a way that is breakthrough and compelling. You have a boundless imagination that is balanced with the deep understanding of business processes; your ability to ideate is combined with your communication skills to concisely direct the creative efforts for the team. You crave the opportunity to roll up yourselves and get dirty in the creative design process. Paperwork, what’s that!?
In addition, you will:
- Liaise with the Product Management team on ensuring ideas, philosophies, features and benefits are incorporated effectively into all creative branding and advertising
- Create, design and refine proposed creative approaches and treatments that align with the Corporate Strategy based on information provided by internal client groups

- Manage the creative process from star to finish including (but not limited to): art direction, design, copy writing, and production of projects (working with production houses, coordinating photo, video and film shoots etc.)
- Lead and mentor a small group of graphic designers. Set expectations and standards for creative team attitude, behavior, teamwork and professional development.
- Drive constant improvement in Teligence’s creative quality and capabilities.
Who You Are
You are an energizing, inspiring and very quirky person, not only within your work – but with your work ethic and style. You have the ability to draw people together to share ideas so that they feel they own it together. You are not afraid to communicate openly at both business and technical levels. You are proud of your work, but realize due to the nature of our business, you are unlikely to win awards for it. You are happy to leave tangible rewards to others as you pursue a superior work/life balance. You are not cynical, you are not inflexible. You are all about being a part of something as great as you are.
In addition, you also possess the following skills and experience:
- Superior leadership and collaboration skills
- Thorough understanding of Direct Marketing, Direct Response and branding campaigns
- Well developed understanding of modern marketing techniques including: Behavioral Economics, Neuromarketing and Customer Psychology
