Talent Acquisition at Propel Manila and Elesi Studios

Position: Associate Creative Director

Department: Creatives Department

Reporting Line: CD / ECD / CCO

An ideas-first thinker who either has mad word-wrangling skills or a kickass art/design craftsmanship. Knows digital and technology like the back of their hand. Has a good grasp of language. Can spot diamonds in the rough. Can present and defend the work well. Can spot the right problem and find the right solution for it. Passionate and persistent, but know when to stop. Won't accept crappy work -- inspires excellence, won't go for good if it can be great. Has the ability to maintain good relations with the team and with other agency partners. Can wear both the creative and business hats. With big ambition, but little ego.

The Associate Creative Director is the second of a team of creators, dreamers, and storytellers. The ACD's main role is to co-lead the team in creating ideas that matter. As a leader, he/she is the team's operator, motivator, mentor, and thought-builder, in order to bring out the best creative idea, craft the idea to its best form, sell the creative work to the client, and produce the idea following the creative intent and vision. As the next senior leaders of Propel Manila, the ACD must cascade and support the Creative Chief's creative mandate, business mandate and culture mandate, as an integral supporter, promulgator, and advocate of company culture, ideals, and code of conduct. In the event that ACD has no CD/ECD, he/she is expected to lead the team with the Creative Chief.

The Assoc. Creative Director's strengths are on these fundamental aspects:

  • Creative Direction
  • Craftsmanship
  • Presentation and Selling
  • Production Know-How
  • Business Development
  • People & Stakeholder Management
  • Culture Champion
