Overview
Golin Dallas is looking for an Art Director.
The Art Director has a simple job description: Come up with ideas that break the internet. Really, yes break it. With fun ideas. Provocative ideas. Totally off the wall ideas. Ideas that make every Creative Director at every other agency in the world want to recruit you away from us.
But you're not going to leave because you know as a junior creative, you'll be working on everything from Super Bowl briefs to trying to create the next Tik Tok challenge craze to doing something awesome inside of Animal Crossing. Building your books with diverse, channel agnostic work for some of the coolest brands on the planet.
Not only that, you'll know for a fact that your ideas are going to earn attention from Buzzfeed, Complex, Hypebeast, because you'll have the power of the entire Golin media team pitching to make your ideas famous.
As a creative, you're probably wondering if you'll be making TV ads. Honestly, you won't. You'll be making culture instead. Don't get us wrong, making ads are awesome but moving culture and making headlines are better. In fact, that kind of approach has helped us win both Cannes Lions and back-to-back PRWEEK Global Agency of the Year.
We are a progressive public relations agency designed to reach the profoundly diverse market. Our progressive approach aligns earned-first, data-driven creative with the customer journey, to build relevance and deliver maximum impact for our clients. To be successful with our employees and our clients, inclusion is a core value for Golin and we are focused on establishing a culture that is intentionally inclusive, profoundly diverse and uncompromisingly equitable.
Our expertise ranges from brand-building and cutting-edge campaigns to corporate reputation, advocacy and consumer insights. Golin aligns earned-first, data-driven creative with the customer journey through our collaborative G4 Model to deliver maximum impact for clients. Our roster includes many of the largest CPG, retail, food, healthcare technology and consumer service companies in the world.

Job #1 is to bring the freshest, most inspired, most unexpected thinking that solves a client's problem. Job #2 is to use every creative skill you have to bring your ideas to life.

Collaborate with your creative director, strategist, media, digital and account teams to ensure your work is always relevant, strategically sound and headline worthy.Communicate your ideas to the clients with clarity, strategic insight and passion.Hunt for and share out with the rest of the team what's breaking in culture BEFORE it breaks in culture.Proactive thinking.
