Kada Recruiting is partnering with an ad agency that has had double digit growth nearly every year over the past 10 years and continues to blossom into a leading agency for pharma clients across the US. They are in a great position of being large enough to have great resources and a variety of clients, but not so big to be too corporate and rigid in their possibilities.

They are recruiting for a talented Associate Creative Director. In the ACD role, you would manage a small team to work on pharma clients to both strategize and create great work. Having an eye toward digital and an understanding of print will lead you to success.

You’ll be leading a team of talented Art Directors. Working in a team environment, you’ll be managing people, doing hands-on work, and involving yourself in new business pitches.

As a smaller agency, you’ll be more hands on with some of the work (some design work, quick changes etc.), but also will have more say in the strategy and independence within your area of expertise.

Why this opportunity is different - aka why you’d leave your current role

As an independent agency that isn’t under-resourced, you’re sitting at the intersection of being able to do amazing work and lead a team of talented people to do the same. You’ll do this while not having the hassle of red tape and billable nonsense that often gets in the way of success.

You’ll have the opportunity to be anything you want to be in terms of growth.

Stability is a cornerstone of the business. They have not done layoffs in the history of the agency. They’re continuing to win more and more new business and have a structure to set the agency up for success. You don’t have to worry about living and dying by one client and knowing that the team that you have and continue to build is there for the long-haul.

About the Agency

Independent. Stable. Growing. 15 years in the making, this agency was started by a group of individuals that were ready to do it better. Better people, better creative, better relationships. Now with over a hundred people strong, they continue to grow and evolve.

Located in historic Morristown, NJ this top 100 MM&M agency believes that you can be anything you want to be and be a part of something great. With clients across multiple therapeutic areas and services across multiple areas (medical education, digital, promo, professional, managed care, etc), there is plenty of access and opportunity.

This is more than just another churn and burn agency. They believe people are not just their greatest asset, they are the most important asset worthy of protecting, developing and leading to success.
