![A winking Designity blob.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/61cdf3c5e0b8155f19e0105b/62900e0efe9dbb0282b8c8ca_image-join.png)
Our ideal Video/Animation - Creative Director will lead the conceptualization and production of high-quality video and animation content for our clients. You will apply your creative vision and experience to guide projects from ideation through to final production, ensuring they align with client goals and brand strategies. This role requires overseeing all aspects of video and animation production, fostering seamless collaboration among team members, and ensuring timely project delivery. You will also manage client expectations and successfully execute multiple projects simultaneously with a high standard of quality and creativity.
Designity is a subscription-based creative platform that enables seamless more efficient collaboration between creatives and businesses through a unique and innovative model. Our unique approach has attracted companies of all sizes, including Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels, who choose Designity for their design and marketing needs over traditional, more expensive, and less efficient alternatives.
We’re revolutionizing the creative industry by introducing more thoughtful, effective, modern design and marketing methods. Companies traditionally hire in-house creatives, which is costly, time-consuming, skill-limiting, and requires substantial supervision. Working with traditional design and marketing agencies offers an alternative but at a high cost. Marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr claim to offer a more affordable solution, but their model lacks reliability and optimization for creative practices, bringing frustration for businesses.
While we maintain a fast-paced startup environment, we’re also in full scale-up mode. If you’re seeking clear career growth, fully remote work, flexible hours, diverse project opportunities, and a chance to build quality content for your portfolio, Designity is the place to learn, develop, and grow into the creative thought leader you aspire to be.
