Brand Director

Camp + King has offices in San Francisco and Chicago and in our short, but mighty, 8-year tenure we’ve been named one of AdAge’s Small Agencies of the Year 4 times and appeared in Outside Magazine’s 50 Best Places to Work list. 

Our agency philosophy is to Make Brands Conversationworthy. We do this by creating content for brands that’s worth engaging with, talking about and sharing. Some of our clients include: Papa John’s, Energizer, RE/MAX, Jackson Hewitt and prAna.

Our Chicago office is growing and was established to expand our new business opportunities with clients east of the Rockies. A cornerstone of this office is the work we are doing with Papa John’s.  A company in transition, Papa John’s has spent the past year redefining its brand under the leadership of a new executive team and will be focusing the first half of 2021 on the move of its headquarters from Louisville to Atlanta.  We are partnering with this client in the evolution of their brand foundations and bringing those to life through their product innovation calendar, brand reputation efforts, and inter-disciplinary marketing activations.

Camp + King is seeking a Brand Supervisor to support our Papa John’s client. The right person for this role is passionate about growing and evolving as a strategic thinker and has developed client management skills that allow them to be comfortable with both leading a team, as well as working independently.  This person will report to the Brand Director (who is based in Chicago), while managing workstreams with strategy, creative and production teams based in San Francisco.  Due to that, this person must be a champion of our ‘one office two locations’ agency model and play an indispensable role in supporting the long corridor between our West Coast home base and our Midwest operations for both our internal agency and client teams. While there is a preference for an individual based out of San Francisco, candidates from both geographies will be considered.

The ideal candidate has the ability to develop strong client relationships while simultaneously supporting the execution of the agency’s creative. We’re looking for someone who is able to wear many hats and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves; a team member who can work smartly, accurately, efficiently and have fun while doing it. You should be driven by a desire to do great creative work and to be highly involved in getting there.
Daily responsibilities include supporting the development of brand and social strategy, managing campaigns, collaborating with inter-agency partners, and acting as point person for the creation and delivery of projects, presentations and all creative work requested by clients.

# Skills Expected

-  Having a strategically sound mind that is built on your years of experience and can be employed to help solve problems as they inevitably arise with innovation, decisiveness, speed, and clarity.
-  Being able to manage up, as well as down. What does that mean? It means you know how and when to loop in your supervisor—neither too often on the small stuff, nor too late on the big stuff. You have a sense of how to nurture those below you and help them grow.
- Managing other team members’ time, as well as your clients’ time efficiently. Knowing how and when to delegate to junior team members.
- Strength in building relationships with clients, creatives, and producers not just in meeting rooms, but also in day-to-day conversations, at shoots and over coffee.
- Fully versed in production—able to analyze an estimate with an educated eye, run a shoot while managing client needs, deliver the goods on time and exceeding expectations, and generally keep all the wheels turning at an even pace.
- Minimum 5 years of agency experience.  Experience in QSR preferred.
