Associate Creative Director - Creator

Golin Ketchum is looking for an ACD - Creator to join our team!

Golin Ketchum is the most awarded public relations agency of the decade. We create change that matters for our clients and our people. The kind of change that earns attention and shapes culture to build business.


Formed in 2026 from the merger of two iconic PR agencies, Golin Ketchum combines fearless creative and strategic excellence, fueled by Omnicom's industry-leading data and AI solutions, to uncover powerful insights and execute work that builds and protects the world's greatest companies.


With specialized expertise across consumer and brands, corporate affairs, healthcare, technology, and food, agriculture and nutrition, we deliver integrated, high-impact communications services at scale.


At Golin Ketchum, culture matters. We are fiercely ambitious yet fundamentally kind and collaborate obsessively with the best clients in the world.


Want to create change that matters with us? Here are the details:

What You'll Do:

• Develop creative on social-first campaigns for Walmart, Ferrero, and Grubhub from concept through production and amplification.
• Produce high-impact short-form content: film, photograph, design, and write for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. You'll engage in the full production pipeline-from ideation to final output. A willingness to show up in content is a plus.
• Monitor cultural trends, viral moments, and algorithm shifts to keep our work fresh, relevant, and built for the platforms where our audiences play.
• Execute content calendars, batch-create assets, and meet publishing deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Have significant autonomy, face time with clients, and room to flex and grow your creative, presentation, leadership, and production skills.

What You Have:

• 5-7 years of experience creating and selling social ideas for major brands.
• A strong portfolio showcasing video, photography, graphic design, or multi-format content work with clear cultural fluency.
• Proficiency with production and editing tools: Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects), CapCut, Canva, or similar platforms.
• Exceptional communication skills-both written and verbal. You can clearly articulate the vision for your work, why it's right for the brand, and how it resonates with consumers.
• Tapped in. You track memes, audio trends, platform shifts, and the cultural moment. You understand what makes something shareable and why.
• Ability to collaborate across disciplines like strategy, design, production, account teams, and synthesize feedback into stronger work.
• Curiosity, ambition, and kindness. You're genuinely excited about the brands and the people you work with, and you show up ready to do try new things and challenge what is expected.
