Brand

We’re a creative agency for social-native brands in beauty, wellness, travel, lifestyle, and CPG — handling brand, social, production, and interactive under one roof. Because the websites we build feel like the videos we shoot, which feel like the conversations we start, which never lose sight of the why at the heart of it all.

The Role:

We’re hiring an Associate Creative Director to help lead the creative vision behind brands people actually care about.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit at the top of the org chart and approve work from afar. It’s for someone who still loves the craft. Someone who can zoom out to see the bigger picture and zoom in to make the details better.

At Habitat, creative leadership is collaborative. You’ll partner with strategists, designers, writers, social creatives, photographers, videographers, and account teams to build work that doesn’t just look good—it works. You’ll help shape ideas from the first conversation through final execution while mentoring the creatives around you along the way.

If you’re the type of person who genuinely enjoys presenting creative work, you’ll feel right at home here. You’ll present ideas, sell a vision, and help clients connect the dots between strategy and execution. You’ll lead creative presentations that build confidence in the work, create alignment around the direction, and bring great ideas to life. Because great work deserves great storytelling, you’ll play a key role in communicating the thinking behind the creative and guiding clients through the process from concept to execution. You won’t just present the work—you’ll advocate for it.

You’ll help elevate the overall quality of our work, strengthen our creative processes, and build confidence with clients by bringing clear thinking and strong creative perspective to every project.

You’ll report to the VP of Brand and play a key role in developing both our work and our people.

Brands We Work With:

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

— Leading creative development across multiple client accounts, campaigns, and initiatives

— Translating business goals and brand strategy into compelling creative solutions

— Guiding designers, copywriters, social creatives, and production teams throughout the creative process

— Ensuring creative work meets Habitat’s standards for quality, effectiveness, and originality

— Presenting creative concepts and recommendations to clients with confidence and clarity

— Providing thoughtful feedback that improves the work while developing the people behind it

— Helping establish creative direction across brand, social, production, and interactive projects

— Contributing to agency growth through creative innovation, process improvements, and new business support

WHAT YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

— Leading creative kickoffs, brainstorms, reviews, and presentations

— Reviewing concepts, designs, campaigns, and content before they go to clients

— Collaborating with strategists to ensure creative solutions align with business objectives

— Partnering with Brand Managers and Account teams to navigate client feedback and project priorities

— Mentoring designers, writers, and creative team members through coaching and constructive feedback

— Working alongside production teams during photoshoots, video shoots, and content creation efforts

— Helping shape campaign concepts, brand identities, and integrated marketing initiatives

— Participating in client meetings and serving as a trusted creative advisor

— Supporting pitches, proposals, and agency growth opportunities when needed

WHO YOU ARE

— You have 7–10 years of creative experience, ideally within an agency environment

— You have experience leading multidisciplinary creative projects from concept through execution

— You have a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional creative thinking, strong design sensibilities, and strategic problem solving

— You understand how to balance creativity, business objectives, and client expectations

— You’re as comfortable presenting to a client as you are collaborating with a creative team

— You know how to push work forward without pushing people over

— You can identify what makes an idea stronger and communicate that clearly to others

— You believe great creative comes from collaboration, not ego

— You have experience mentoring and developing creative talent

— You’re highly organized, adaptable, and capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously

— You stay curious about culture, design, storytelling, technology, and emerging trends

— You’re based in Fort Worth or ready to be

WHAT WE OFFER

— Competitive salary with bonus potential

— 401(k), full benefits, generous PTO, and a holiday schedule that respects your life

— A real career path — our Associate Creative Directors have opportunities to grow into Creative Director and Executive Creative Leadership roles

— Work alongside an in-house photo, video, design, influencer, and paid media team — all under one roof

— Clients you’ll be proud to put in your portfolio

— A Fort Worth office built for the way creatives actually work — an in-house prop library, a wardrobe vault, a studio at your fingertips, and three coffee makers (we take all three seriously)

OUR CULTURE

We don’t believe culture is ping-pong tables or free snacks (though we’re not mad about snacks).

Culture is how we show up for each other, how we think about the work, and how we treat the brands that trust us with theirs.

Some days are heads-down and deadline-driven. Others are loud, collaborative, and full of ideas flying across the room. We make space for both. We celebrate wins. We support each other through the hard stuff. We laugh a lot. Sometimes at inappropriate times. It’s fine. We’re professionals who know every day is better working together.

READY?

Send us your portfolio, your resume, and a short note about a campaign, brand, or piece of creative work you’ve seen recently that made you wish you’d made it yourself—and tell us why.

We’re interested in your perspective as much as your portfolio.

Our Hiring Process

We love it when people are excited to join our Habitat, and we’re just as excited to learn more about you and your experience

Here’s what to expect from us during our hiring process:
We’ll review all candidates for consideration, then share your application with the appropriate team. If we decide to move forward, we may invite you to connect with us for an introductory call, or we may go straight to the interview.

Our hiring process can take some time, often two to three weeks, or more. Try not to stress out too much if you haven’t received an update. We know, easier said than done.

If you haven’t heard from us in awhile, we may need a little more time or we might have selected other candidates to fill the position. We’ll still keep your resume in mind if other relevant opportunities arise, so you may hear from us again if you seem like a good fit as we continue to expand our Habitat.
