We believe our differences are our strength. So we push for inclusion, challenge convention and bring in new perspectives, to inspire new ideas. Because when we connect by understanding what makes people different, we can create unforgettable experiences that enrich lives. Join us at razorfish.com.
Overview
Our Story: As ACDs, we find ourselves at the intersection of doing the work and learning to lead the charge. Our craft is exceptionally established by now, and we’ve been exposed to countless ways of leveraging art direction and design across many different mediums. It’s time to try on a new responsibility—leadership.
More senior art directors are seeking our thoughtful input and offering a shared role in creative direction. More junior art directors are watching and listening closely to how we get the job done. This is one of the toughest but most satisfying stages of our careers; we’re still doing lots of design/art direction plus we’re testing the waters on management style and leadership presence.
Our specialty : We work at the exact intersection of today’s writers and tomorrow’s leaders
