Art Director

About Us

MONO is an advertising and branding agency. We believe in the power of simplicity. We are better than anyone at distilling the core truths of a brand and turning those insights into meaningful and differentiating ideas that move businesses. We often talk about eliminating the unnecessary so that the necessary can be heard. We aim to create legendary work that works for our clients and provide a working environment that is optimistic, collaborative, and team-based.

MONO is looking for an ambitious mid-level Art Director to join the team. You re right for the job if you re a self-starter, problem-solver, conceptual thinker, and imaginative storyteller capable of creating and producing innovative, shareable, meaningful, and award-winning work.

• You re not just a Creative, you re an Art Director, responsible for creating and executing effective, innovative ideas for our clients, across all mediums.
• This includes ideation, concepts and layout design for fully integrated campaigns.
• Finally, you have some experience selling ideas through a confident, engaging, carefully considered presentation.

• The ideal candidate has 2+ years of agency experience in brand advertising and compelling examples of produced work (presented in a portfolio).
• You must also have a proven track record of championing ideas across various media channels as well as bringing energy and passion to your teams and projects.
• You are accustomed to working collaboratively with Account, Strategy, Media, Ops, and Production to successfully bring creative campaigns to life.

This is a locally-based role, where relocation will be required for candidates living outside of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. We currently observe a hybrid work model. We work onsite every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for Work From MONO (WFM) days, in addition to moments that matter outside of those designated days, with the purpose of fostering agency connection and aiding collaboration.

Some travel may be required.

MONO is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, and other protected status as required by law.

Our company offers flexible paid time off, medical, dental, vision and well-being benefits, HSA, FSAs, pre-tax commuter benefits, 401k with match, and upgraded parental leave policies. We also close the office over the week of the 4th of July for a perk we call Mid Summer’s Dream. Mid Summer’s Dream is an opportunity for everyone here at MONO to re-charge, spend time with family, or just plain dream (and, in MN, July is the perfect time to be OOO).

We are a values-driven company, supporting people personally and professionally.
