Digital Creative Director

Located in the middle of nowhere and at the centre of everything, we see the world around us with nothing standing in our way (it helps that there are no mountains). This unique vantage point helps us have the clarity to solve any business problems with ingenuity and creativity.

Who are we? We are a forward-thinking, data-driven, results-based creative agency (isn’t that a mouthful?). Through our focus on custom solutions using the latest technology, we find success in a multitude of areas.

As Digital Creative Director you are a champion of highly conceptual thinking and thought leadership in all areas of digital.

You are a possibility thinker, and you focus on ‘what if’s’ and opportunities to do what has not been done before, regardless of digital medium, you champion this kind of thinking in others. You push the boundaries of what digital means as it relates to LMNO and what we create for ourselves as well as our clients. Your perspective is not to worry about how to do something, but the drive to make something happen. If there is not an immediate solution, you look to create one or know that you can tap others to find one.

Part inventor and part problem-solver, you look to put the user experience at the forefront of ideas that you come up with. Not limited to one medium, you champion the integration of multiple disciplines, recognizing that in the integrated world we live in, digital transcends a computer screen and is not in any way simply relegated to static online display ads or website design/development.

You define, create, design, describe, and passionately champion others to work in unconventional ways. You work collaboratively with a team of Creatives, Media Specialists, Search experts, and Social Media Specialists. You have the ability to make decisions based on data and instinct and bring forward ideas and solutions to problems that no one knew needed to be solved.
