Job Description

At Ogilvy, we are looking for a Junior Social Art Director to join the Social Media creative team.

We want someone with a good eye, visual judgment, and a desire to think of ideas that truly live on social networks. Someone who understands that a brand doesn't just need to "look good," but needs to have something to say in a reel, a carousel, a story, a TikTok, or a post that people actually want to share.

What will you do?

Conceptualize and design ideas for social campaigns and content.
Create pieces for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and other digital territories.
Work hand-in-hand with copywriters, strategists, and community managers.
Adapt concepts to social formats: reels, stories, carousels, GIFs, motion, posts, thumbnails, etc.
Maintain the art direction of the brands, ensuring everything doesn't just look like a template.
Stay up to date with trends, digital culture, memes, formats, and visual references.
Present and defend visual ideas internally and to the client.

What are we looking for?

3-4 years of experience as an art director, creative designer, or junior art director, ideally in an agency or digital environment.
Portfolio with a focus on social/digital creativity.
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud: Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and/or After Effects.
An eye for composition, typography, color, and detail.
Understanding of how each platform works and what type of content makes sense for each.
Curiosity, agility, judgment, and a drive to propose new ideas.
Social-first mindset: the ability to distinguish between a useful trend and a brand trying too hard to be cool.

Bonus points if...

You edit video or do motion graphics.
You are comfortable with TikTok and pop culture.
You have visual references saved for everything.
You know when an idea can be a meme and when it shouldn't be.

What do we offer?

Working with leading national and international brands.
A creative, collaborative team eager to make relevant things.
Space to learn, propose, and grow.
Varied projects: campaigns, always-on, launches, activations, and social formats.

If you have good taste, a creative mind, and a desire to create content that doesn't look like generic brand content, we want to meet you.
