Art Director

The Art Director is responsible for working as a peer with Copywriters (and other team members) on every phase of the creative process. This individual must possess the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients and work with a degree of independence. Art Directors are capable of formulating innovative approaches to deliver marketing messages while maintaining consistency on brand, branding elements and style. They are accountable for balancing their workload and working efficiently. Conceptually, they contribute compelling and unique ideas for digital, motion, social, and print with a basic understanding of the creative and technical parameters for each platform.  Since our beginning in 1981, AbelsonTaylor has remained singularly focused on brands that help people live healthier lives.  We don’t design for sneakers, or beer, or cars.
