Job description

As a Creative Director at Designity, you will lead the vision behind meaningful, brand defining work. This includes everything from big picture platforms and campaign concepts to compelling storytelling and content across digital channels.

By staying current with the latest design trends, you will help creative teams focus on what matters most : delivering thoughtful, high-impact, and elevated work that resonates with clients and their audiences.

Designity is a Creative-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform that empowers businesses with a flexible, high-quality, and scalable alternative to traditional agencies and in-house teams.

Our unique model connects marketing and creative leaders with the top 3% of US-based creative and marketing talent, all led by experienced Creative Directors, Project Managers, and Marketing Strategists. Through our collaborative platform, we streamline the creative process, ensuring fast, high-impact execution without the inefficiencies of hiring in-house or the high costs of traditional agencies.

Brands like Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels trust Designity to handle their design and marketing needs—proving that there's a better way to scale creativity. Unlike in-house hiring, which is expensive and skill-limiting, or marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr, which lack reliability and creative oversight, Designity delivers a seamless, results-driven approach that makes creative collaboration effortless.
