Art Director
Watson is looking for an accomplished art director with hands-on capabilities and an eye for motion & design.
In this role, your focus is all around the craft and concepts of a campaign.

Additionally, you'll be looked to for creative concepts that build off of the campaign strategy and creative direction.
Reporting into a Creative Director, you’ll both support and lead on a mix of visual exploration and production — ensuring consistency, cohesiveness and an elevated and rationalized aesthetic across all output.
