OVERVIEW

Movement Strategy is seeking a photo + video Art Director, fluent in all things Instagram and Tiktok, to own the look & feel and content creation for our new entertainment-focused client in LA. Entertainment lovers, keep reading. You’ll work closely with a Copywriter and an ACD to pitch concepts that drive photo + video content productions and influencer partnerships. You’ll design mockups and styleframes to sell through content for grid posts, IG stories, and Reels, and develop shot lists and pre-pro decks for social video productions.
