• Our goal is to merge creativity and production to propel brands forward at an accelerated pace. However, we place the utmost importance on our team and the experiences they encounter. We aspire for clients to view us as their premier agency and for every member of Hook to consider this the pinnacle of their career.

• Creative Directors at Hook are visionary leaders who take full responsibility for the success of strategic planning, messaging, and design execution across multiple brand accounts. Armed with expertise in digital marketing, media, and production, they guide teams of creatives, designers, animators, writers, and engineers in a collaborative effort to deliver effective advertising solutions to complex marketing challenges.

• Functionally, Creative Directors are integral to specific brand or account groups, fostering enduring client relationships through consistent collaboration and ongoing campaign triumphs. Their combination of client trust and brand knowledge empowers them to lead individuals and teams with earned authority.

• In their day-to-day role, Creative Directors oversee the successful execution of various campaigns by multiple teams. They play a direct role in developing intricate campaigns, often serving as the primary source of innovative ideas and content.

• Creative Directors should possess a robust background in motion and design, actively engaging in projects such as social campaigns, motion graphic videos, pitch decks, branding toolkits, and explainer videos. Additionally, they should excel in crafting digital copy.

• While Creative Directors report to the Executive Creative Director, they operate as independent experts who primarily engage with the leadership of their assigned brand group.
