🗣 Hiring! (please share) Since founding Reynolds+Myers, I’ve served as Creative Director, defining the creative vision for projects and working with a team of specialists to bring it to life.
Unfortunately, recent medical issues are reducing the time I have available for my day-to-day tasks — so I’m considering adding an Associate Creative Director to help me out. (I’m still working, just a bit schedule-constrained.)
I haven’t drafted an official job description yet, but thought I’d reach out here to see if my network knows anyone we should be speaking with. At R+M we ALWAYS shape roles to fit the skills, talents, and interests of the person doing the job. That said, here’s what we are looking for:
💡 Role: Associate Creative Director. Accountable for maintaining quality + impact of the creative product leaving R+M. Will direct a team of writers and designers, collaborate with account team members (and myself) to ensure goals and deadlines are met or exceeded.
🗺 Location: Remote-first but prefer someone within an easy flight of Boise. I’m open to full or p/t.
🔨 Skills: Everything you’d expect from the job title, but even better if you are a strong concepter and copywriter with editing/proofreading skills. If other people don’t see you as a perfectionist or someone who is always striving to be better, this role probably won’t be a good fit.
🦏 About R+M: we build marketing machines for legacy companies. Our clients include brands you know run by 100% quality human beings. We simply don’t work with jerks. Most are B2B, but all have complex sales cycles, multiple purchase influencers, and focus on marketing tools beyond advertising (though we do our share of that, too). R+M is 10 years old. My experience stretches back 25+ years.
💰 Salary: Likely ~$80k - $120k + performance bonus, depending on how we design the role.
Key traits we’re looking for:
✅ Ambition - always pushing; always improving.
✅ Detail-obsession - the “little things” add up to big things.
✅ Persistence - our work is strategic and often complex; both R+M and our clients play the long game.
🧠 Qualifications: you probably have 5+ years of agency-side experience. Degrees are good, but only to the extent they actually made you smarter… your work product/accomplishments/reputation should speak much louder than any formal credentials.
▶ To apply: send an email to hello@reynoldsandmyers.com with “ACD” in the subject line. Demonstrate your awesomeness and provide some details on why you’re right for this role.
A final note… trite clichés like “master storyteller” or “creative guru” won’t get you anywhere with this role. At R+M our creative work serves real business outcomes. Pretty pictures alone don’t get the job done here. You need to be smart, strategic, and capable of bringing a point of view to (almost) any discussion. To the extent you can demonstrate that, you’re likely a good match.
Thanks for reading this far — please share if you can.
