3D Artist
This is a highly hands-on creative role. You'll concept. You'll design. You'll art direct. You'll present. You'll obsess over the details. But you'll also begin looking beyond your own assignments—helping shape the visual identity of a brand, elevating the work of other creatives, and recognizing opportunities to make the work stronger.
Key Responsibilities
What You'll Do
Create great work
- Develop original, strategically sound concepts across healthcare brands, audiences, and channels.
- Translate strategy and complex scientific information into compelling visual ideas and experiences.
- Partner closely with copywriters from the beginning of an assignment through final execution.
- Create and art direct work across digital, social, video, print, CRM, websites, experiential, and emerging channels.
- Think beyond individual tactics to visual systems and ideas that can become campaigns, platforms, and connected experiences.
- Develop mood boards, visual territories, storyboards, layouts, prototypes, and other tools necessary to communicate and sell an idea.
- Push beyond familiar healthcare visual conventions to find solutions that feel fresh, relevant, and distinctive.
- Maintain exceptional standards of design, typography, composition, imagery, storytelling, and craft.
Know the brand
- Develop a deep understanding of your assigned brands—the science, strategy, audience, competitive landscape, market dynamics, and creative opportunity.
- Understand why we're creating something, not simply what needs to be designed.
- Help establish and maintain visual identities, campaign systems, and creative standards.
- Recognize when work is strategically right but visually expected—and help find a more powerful solution.
- Bring proactive visual and conceptual ideas to your creative partners and broader team.
- Stay curious about design, photography, film, culture, technology, AI, art, and what's happening outside healthcare advertising.
Own your work
- Take increasing ownership of projects from brief through concept, design, production, and MLR.
- Present creative work internally and to clients with clarity and confidence.
- Articulate the thinking behind visual choices rather than relying on subjective preference.
- Work collaboratively with strategy, account, medical, UX, development, production, and other disciplines to solve problems while protecting the creative idea.
- Direct photographers, illustrators, animators, editors, production partners, and other creative specialists as appropriate.
- Navigate medical, legal, and regulatory feedback intelligently, finding visual solutions that preserve the intent and impact of the work.
- Manage multiple assignments and deadlines while maintaining creative quality.
- Know when to solve something yourself—and when to pull in creative leadership.
Elevate the team
- Review and provide thoughtful feedback on work from junior and mid-level art directors and designers.
- Help creatives understand not only what could be improved, but why.
- Share knowledge generously around concepting, art direction, design craft, visual storytelling, production, and emerging creative tools.
- Create an environment where creative partners feel comfortable sharing unfinished ideas and exploring unconventional solutions.
- Learn how to direct someone toward a better solution rather than simply redesigning the work yourself.
- Raise the visual standard of the work around you.
- Be someone other creatives want in the room.
