What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Creative Director, Art position at barkley?
Being an ACD means being all. the. things. ACDs are both the do-ers and the leaders. This is a time in one’s career when you both have to be incredible at ideas but also hone your leadership skills.
ACDs have all the skills CW/ADs and Seniors do, but in addition, they are cultivating a handful of client relationships, and they can tackle meetings, shoots, and other productions without CD oversight. They actively look for opportunities to guide the more junior members of the team and they are willing to learn the art of leading from their CDs. For most, being an ACD is a bridge position to CD, and should be treated as such. A key element of an ACD is the desire to become a CD.
