Job Description

LaSalle Network has been hired by an ad agency here in Chicago in their need of a Creative Director for a 3-4 month maternity leave coverage contract starting in October.

This position would require someone willing to come into the downtown Chicago office 2 days a week (or more as needed) consistently throughout the assignment.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead creative direction across fully integrated digital campaigns and brand initiatives, with a strong emphasis on design and visual execution.

  • Develop and oversee high-quality creative concepts and campaigns across paid media, social, UX/UI, websites, print, and other digital and traditional channels.

  • Be hands-on in the design process, contributing directly to creative development and execution rather than operating solely as a strategic or managerial leader.

  • Partner closely with copy, strategy, account, and other cross-functional teams to develop cohesive, compelling creative solutions.

  • Maintain a high bar for visual quality, craft, consistency, and overall creative taste.

  • Present and articulate creative concepts to clients and internal stakeholders, incorporating feedback while protecting the strength of the creative vision.

  • Ensure creative work is thoughtfully adapted across channels and touchpoints while maintaining a cohesive brand experience.

  • Help guide the team through a broad range of creative deliverables, from campaign-level concepts through final execution.


Requirements:

  • Design-first background with strong hands-on design capabilities; this is not an art-direction-only role.

  • Proven experience developing fully integrated campaigns across multiple channels, including paid media, social, UX/UI, websites, print, and digital experiences.

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating high creative taste, quality, and craftsmanship.

  • Experience developing large-scale, fully developed campaigns and a broad range of deliverables.

  • Portfolio should demonstrate range across different visual styles, channels, formats, and client/business challenges.

  • Hands-on experience with Meta Ads is required.

  • Agency experience is highly preferred.

  • Ability to move comfortably between big-picture creative thinking and hands-on design execution.

  • Strong communication, presentation, collaboration, and client-facing skills.


This position pays $65-$75/hr depending on experience.
