“That is awesome” If that short sentence is the response you like to hear when people see your work, then please read on - you may be the Senior Art Director that we’re looking for in our Durban jungle.
This role is incredibly important to us so we’re going to throw the kitchen sink at finding the right individual. If it’s you then the answer to the questions below will be a resounding “yes”
Do you have a portfolio of work to share that will make us say “that’s awesome”
- We’re looking for someone that has been there, done that and got the Lion. Or the Loerie. We’ll even settle for an Oscar.
Are you curious, ambitious and cool to be around?
- The cool part is important. We’re a friendly group of Gorillas, and we’re picky about who we invite into our Jungle.
Are you a strong communicator?
- We like to sell ideas in as few slides as possible. We like to present them in a way that leaves people no choice but to shout out “That’s awesome” The person we’re looking for has a great way of weaving words and imagery together to tell a story.
Do you believe that average is unacceptable?
- We never want to be average. Or even just good. That means we’re only happy when a concept, a campaign or even just a piece of copy makes us say “yeah, that’s awesome” Our perfect creative is a perfectionist when it comes to their craft.
Are you comfortable bringing awesome to life across any channel or medium?
- We are a channel-agnostic big-idea agency but there is no getting around the fact that the world we live in demands a solid understanding of the digital ecosystem.
**Requirements**:
Five to six years' experience in an art directing capacity, at least two of those years as a senior
A portfolio of work that is easily accessible
Design-related degree/diploma
**Adobe Creative Suite**: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
The ability to work independently
Deadline and task-driven
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Team player
Are you the senior designer or senior art director we’re looking for? Are you awesome?
We are Gorilla, an award-winning creative digital agency with offices in Johannesburg and Durban. Our mission, in a nutshell, is to put work out into the world that makes our clients and their customers say “that is awesome”
We’re an independent jungle which makes us agile, invested and passionate. We’re level 2 BBBEE and are fierce supporters of transformation in the industry. Growing and sustaining an awesome culture is one of our six core values. Having fun for no other reason than it’s fun is another. We’re digital partners to all of our clients and integrated partners to a few of them, which we love because a social post has every right to be as awesome as a TV spot. We are privileged to work with some of the most loved brands in South Africa with more than a few relationships close to a decade long. Loving the work we do and the teams we do it for is way more important to us than the size of the retainer.
