Can you brush off the competition? Art Director wanted!

There can’t be a worse way to start a job ad than a terrible pun. So, let’s get a bit more job ad traditional. Are you a creative person that’s inspirational, conceptual, motivational, innovative, pioneering, fearless, bold, daring, dynamic, adventurous, and imaginative?

Of course not. No one would ever describe themselves as all that. But if this extraction of adjectives from ChatGPT or the terrible headline captured your attention, it means that you’ve either thought “Oh, that’s fun” or “Oh, that’s a bit weird”. Whatever your thoughts, it shows that you have a personality. And that’s what we’re looking for in our new Art Director.

Now that we’re in the third paragraph, the eighth line and the 130^th word, we probably ought to tell you what it’s all about. As our new Art Director, you’ll become part of Denmark’s first on-site agency, which is basically a combination of an external agency and an in-house agency. But we’ll explain all that when we meet you.

During that meeting, we’ll also tell you about our client, Grundfos. They’re our only client, but boy do we love them. They trust us to communicate complex, technical material through awe-inspiring, easy-to-understand solutions that support their sustainable, ambitious and optimistic approach to everything they do. 

Skip to here for your tasks

How about that for a sub-header, huh? An actual clear brief! Have you ever experienced that at an agency before? Is this a sign of things to come? We won’t promise anything… For now, let’s deliver on that header with a couple of bullet points in true job ad fashion:

• Inspire and challenge your creative colleagues.
• Create concepts that are holistic and focus on the bigger picture.
• Be a core part of a creative evolution of Grundfos, and not a revolution of the brand.
• Engage in a nice mix between top creative tasks and lifting the baseline in all our everyday work. 
• Contribute to setting our creative ambition.
• …and whatever else you might bring to the table.

At this point, you’d come across another list of bullets, saying that you need around 560 years of experience. We’re not gonna deny that we’re looking for someone with the right set of skills, but we believe in educating people along the way. We can’t teach you to be a nice person, though. That’s all on you. Anyway, enough about you. Time to talk about us!
