Description:

Do you like to take credit for other people's ideas and work? If so, we have the job for you.

As one of the fastest growing (and best looking) little ad shops in Saskatoon, Kinetic needs a leader to take charge of our foosball creative team. Someone who’s not afraid to stomp on work that’s not up to snuff (while protecting those fragile creative egos) and quick to reward work that rocks. Someone with a Yoda-like sense of wisdom who can guide our team to greatness while fostering a fun culture. Someone with a black belt in multitasking. If you can handle approving a radio spot, overseeing a TV shoot, tweaking copy for a print ad and sketching a slightly altered concept for the client on a cocktail napkin all before lunch, we want to talk to you.

You are:

• Experienced: You've earned your stripes through a minimum of 5 years' work as an assistant creative director―or as a senior art director or senior copywriter
• A strong leader whom clients will love and whom our creatives will beg to please
• Skilled at turning ideas into innovative multiplatform campaigns
• Backed by a proven track record of resolving creative challenges
• Willing to make crackerjack decisions in a deadline-driven environment
• Freakishly committed to making clients happy

What you’ll do:

• Oversee all creative output (translation: the buck stops with you!)
• Pitch genius creative work to clients
• Participate in developing projects from concept to superlative work that can't be ignored
• Recruit, mentor, reward and retain wicked creative talent
• Resolve creative challenges internally and with clients
• Develop strategy for winning new business

Your ability to help grow Kinetic into a Western Canadian powerhouse will win you a competitive compensation package as well as the unadulterated adoration of the quirkiest, most entertaining troupe of creative minds around. And that's just for starters.

Application deadline is April 1, 2013.

• Proof reading
• Selling your ideas to clients with rationale and presentations
