Creative Director - FinServ / FinTech
Some Background On Us...
Magnet Media is seeking an Associate Creative Director to provide our accounts team with an experienced team member who thrives on creating incredible, story-driven brand campaigns, while providing guidance and ideas to other team members on their projects.
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys a diversity of work --from pitching to executing; and across digital storytelling formats (video, social, podcast, etc). The goal is to achieve the best possible outcome of projects --from a storytelling and creativity perspective-- while meeting client expectations and driving business goals.
Three things to note about us: first, we are not a traditional “agency” in the sense that we have not focused our work on traditional “advertising.” Instead, we’ve been at the forefront of brand storytelling since its inception, and believe the best marketing work balances world class creative storytelling values with business growth. Second, we work in small teams that are vertically integrated --focused around industry specializations. This provides the intimacy of a small team, with the benefit of a larger organization (though we pride ourselves on remaining independent, and are still very much a “boutique.”)
Third, we are not a “purely” creative studio, in the sense that we do not make stand-alone art, media or entertainment. All our work is produced on behalf of brands, so it’s critical that the candidate appreciates the discipline of marketing, and collaborates successfully with our clients and team to achieve business outcomes for our clients. This means engaging with our “think / make / reach” approach to all of our projects. (More on this philosophy on our website!)
The Basics on Who We Are...
Magnet Media is an award-winning creative storytelling studio, and we believe using storytelling + data is the best way to drive meaningful business results. Our team comprises world-class strategists, marketers and creative storytellers who use our THINK / MAKE / REACH approach to develop holistic solutions for our client’s brands.

We specialize in video, podcasting, social media storytelling and virtual events. We also have a community of 25,000 creative and strategic marketing leaders who engage with our community, The State of the Story. That community gathers annually at our Story Summit, frequently references our annual trends reports, and relies on our network to build their careers and their business.
