Executive Creative Director (Art)
ABOUT US
Cronin is a proudly independent, full-service advertising agency that leverages the exponential force of creativity to help brands stand out and achieve their organizational objectives. While our work spans all categories, we have a particular strength in Health Care, Financial Services, Consumer Products & Services, and B2B. We’re building on our 75-year history of innovation, strategic smarts, and award-winning creativity to deliver powerful, end-to-end client experiences.
Our culture is built upon respect. You must champion our 10 core values:
Integrity. Curiosity. Creativity. Connected. Balanced. Unique. Genuine. Accountability. Empathetic. Tenacious.
Our momentum comes from the hunger to do better, to go bigger. It’s why we’ve been doing this for over 75 years.
ABOUT YOU
You espouse characteristics of our inspirational mascot – the goat. You are curious, nimble, inquisitive, and pretty darn smart. You are also a team player who leads by example and inspires all those around you. You bring out the best in others, in the Creative Department and across other agency departments. And of course, you are keen to bring out the best in our clients.
You possess an entrepreneurial, builder mindset and are excited to shape and guide the Creative Department, creating not only the “who” and the “what,” but also the “how”.
You are a good communicator who is able to convey your points of view clearly, supporting them with passion as well as logic. You have professional confidence, but not hubris. You can be perceived as a senior strategic partner to your clients and your agency colleagues. Your confidence allows you to effectively defend your positions with other senior professionals, while also being open to others’ points of view.
You enjoy new challenges and embrace involvement in new business activities.
You can get into the nitty-gritty of the Creative process, but can also step back and view the department, the agency and its clients objectively from a bird’s eye view. That objectivity is derived from years of experience in the industry.
POSITION OVERVIEW
At Cronin, the Executive Creative Director is a player/coach — both producing great work of their own and guiding the creative teams to create and produce great work. (In this case, a talented person who came up on the art direction/design side.) They must recognize the best ideas when they see them and have the gravitas to present and persuasiveness to sell that work to the internal Brand teams and to our clients alike. They can win over a room. Of course, the ECD knows that the best way to do this is to play well with others. They skillfully oversee the creative through rounds of revision ensuring the integrity of the work. The ECD must be modern and forward-thinking, an endlessly curious student of the latest trends. They are a good listener to the teams who report to them, their colleagues across the agency and their clients.

- You must be accustomed to, and good at, leading and managing people and setting expectations.
- Actively plan for and forecast any staffing gaps to stay ahead of the need. Work with People Operations during the entire recruiting lifecycle.
- Manage performance development daily, always thinking of how we can best engage our team.
- Manage the formal annual performance evaluation process for your direct reports. Plan for each employee's learning & development setting clear goals and objectives.

- Recognize the creative opportunity in every client.
- Review and critique all agency deliverables to ensure alignment with client goals and brand.
