Art Director

Our job at Signal Theory is to help people and brands connect in more meaningful ways through strategically sound creative solutions. To do this, you’ll work with an integrated team of strategists, art directors, copywriters, experience designers, content producers, account leaders, analysts and developers to shape the bigger brand picture for the clients you work with.

An art director at Signal Theory is, above all else, responsible for consistently bringing smart and original thinking to any project paired with an understanding of what makes creative work good or great. It’s vital for an art director to effectively process information and feedback from clients and colleagues. Clear and persuasive articulation of ideas, creative choices and strategic direction are expected.

At Signal Theory, an art director reports to a senior art director or associate creative director and often works alongside a copywriter. An art director should be accomplished in the areas of collaboration, communication, management, technical knowledge and – most importantly – creative thinking.
