Who We Are
Hi! We’re Thinkingbox, the brief to built agency. Creating innovative digital, experiential, social, and content, we partner with leading brands across industries like sports, gaming, entertainment, and technology.

Culture is at the heart of who we are, and our offices are hubs of natural collaboration. From hanging out with our office dogs to enjoying Thursday happy hours, we keep our work environment vibrant, welcoming, and fun. Each year, we also encourage our people to spend a month exploring the world, whether that means working from another office or even from the beaches of Mexico, to expand their perspectives and bring fresh inspiration back to the team.

We’re looking for a talented and conceptually-driven Art Director to join our creative team, leading work across digital and experiential campaigns. You’ll help concept and shape creative across a range of projects, from high-profile integrated campaigns and immersive activations to digital platforms, microsites, video-first executions and more. You’ll be involved from the early stages of conceptualization and ideation, developing creative ideas and pitch decks, while also bringing those ideas to life through strong design and visual direction.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll continue to design, develop and present creative concepts, guide other designers, and collaborate with strategists, producers, developers, and clients to bring bold ideas to life. You’ll help define how brands show up across both physical and digital touchpoints, balancing strong conceptual thinking with thoughtful design craft and execution.
