Creative Lead Job at pitchblende, a marketing consultancy in Cleveland

Marketing Executive | Chief Marketing Officer | Revenue, Performance and Growth Focused | Data Driven, Brand & Digital Transformation, MarTech Expert

The role

This is an extremely client-facing, hands-on Creative Lead role. About 90% of your time will be spent making and directing creative for clients—concepting, designing, writing, editing, animating, and shipping work across channels. The remaining 10% supports the pitchblende brand (case studies, templates, and core brand system). There is no in-house creative team today; you’ll operate as the senior maker-director and selectively orchestrate a small bench of freelancers when needed.

What you’ll own

• Client-facing leadership : Be the creative front door—run discovery, workshops, and reviews; present to executives with clarity and confidence; turn feedback into decisive next steps.
• Creative vision & standards : Set the bar for quality across client accounts and the pitchblende brand; maintain scalable guidelines, templates, and file hygiene.
• Concepting & storytelling : Translate insights into clear narratives for campaigns, brand platforms, product stories, and executive-ready decks.
• Video & motion : Lead end-to-end production—concepting, scripting, storyboarding, capture coordination, editing, motion graphics, titling, and sound—across long-form (explainers, case films, webinars) and short-form (paid social, reels, teasers).
• Illustration & visual language : Create or direct original illustrations and iconography for static assets and animated sequences; establish a distinctive visual style that travels across formats.
• After Effects craftsmanship : Build modular motion systems (lower thirds, transitions, logo stings, data callouts) and reusable templates for fast, consistent production.
• Digital experiences : Oversee UX / UI for sites and high-converting landing pages (Figma to Webflow / WordPress handoff) with accessibility and performance in mind.
• AI-assisted creation (when it adds value) : Use AI responsibly for ideation, storyboarding, image generation / cleanup, captioning, and versioning—without sacrificing originality or brand standards.
• Freelance bench orchestration : Maintain a small, trusted roster; write airtight briefs; quality‑control deliverables; scale resources up / down based on scope.
• Creative operations : Improve briefs, timelines, QA, and delivery workflows to keep projects on-brand, on-time, and production-ready.
