Meds Creative Director at Meds responsible for building and managing a portfolio of new healthcare brands from inception to ongoing maintenance. This role requires managing multiple projects and adapting plans based on real-time business data.
Responsibilities
The national TV spots, the big campaigns, the UGC insights, the stuff that made us famous: that engine is built and running loudly. But alongside is a different kind of challenge: a portfolio of new brands built from the ground up, each with real potential and whose entire job is making them great. That's the gap. That's you. Our most recent addition is MOD.com but expect plenty more in the pipeline.
Some weeks that means naming something that doesn't exist yet. Some weeks it means launch chaos. Every week it means keeping live brands fed, consistent, and current, and re-sorting your plan at 4pm because the business learned something at 3pm. The one constant is motion.
One thing we believe: building only counts if it lasts. This role owns each brand from the first naming deck to month-eleven upkeep, with the same care at both ends. We're not hiring a reinvention. We're hiring a builder who finishes. These brands are young. Grow them, and the job grows with you.
You're that rare breed: a creative who actually likes to manage. You want to make great work and build a smart business in the same motion, and you've never understood why those are supposed to be different jobs. Your LinkedIn might say Senior Creative, Associate Creative Director, or Creative Director at a place that talks more than it makes. You like owning outcomes, not just outputs. You're suspiciously organized for a creative. You can hold five projects, three deadlines, and one small fire in your head without dropping any of them.
Priorities change here in real time, because the business reads its numbers in real time. That doesn't rattle you. You can love an idea on Tuesday and shelve it on Thursday because the data said so, without needing a week to grieve. And when a problem shows up with no name, no owner, and no playbook, you do what you always do: you throw an idea at it.
Build them from the ground up: When a new brand enters the portfolio, you bring it to life alongside our partners. Naming, voice, identity, packaging, launch. Then it joins your roster and you keep it excellent.
Keep them alive: Brands aren't finished at launch. Run the day-to-day: social, retention creative, site updates, seasonal pushes, the steady drumbeat that keeps a brand feeling current instead of abandoned.
Evolve them: Listen to what the market and the numbers say, then act. Sharpen positioning, refresh what's gone stale, and make the case when something bigger needs to change. Around here, maintenance is an active verb.
Write the rulebooks: Build the guidelines, systems, and templates that let a small team produce a lot without a brand drifting. Consistency by design, not by policing.
Run the machine: Own timelines, budgets, and priorities across your brands. When the business re-sorts the deck at 3pm, you've re-planned by 4, and the team stays steady while the ground shifts.
Solve the unlabeled problems: The ones that belong to no department and didn't exist last week. Approach every one of them like a creative: idea first, process right behind it.
Keep your hands dirty: You didn't get promoted out of the making, and this role won't either. You'll write names, headlines, and brand voices yourself, week in and week out, right alongside the work you direct. Making isn't a rescue mission here. It's the expectation.

Required
The resume: 8+ years in creative, agency or brand side. Maybe you're a Senior ready to lead, an ACD ready for a bigger sandbox, or a CD who misses making things.
The founder gene: You've built something of your own. A brand, a business, a studio, a side project that got out of hand. Or you've run every project you've ever touched like you owned it.
The lifecycle: You've birthed brands and you've babysat them. You know launch-week adrenaline and month-eleven maintenance, and you respect both.
The operator: You're organized in a way creatives aren't supposed to be. Deadlines, budgets, and dependencies live comfortably in your head right next to the big idea.
The flexibility: Shifting priorities read to you as information, not chaos. You re-plan fast and you don't hold grudges against the calendar.
The craft: An excellent writer or an exceptional art director, with strong opinions about the other half.
The clarity: You make complicated things sound simple and simple things sound irresistible.
The curiosity: You know what people are laughing at this week, not last quarter. And you're paying attention to AI like your job depends on it, because parts of it will.
Salary: Very competitive, plus comprehensive healthcare and retirement plans.
Location: Austin, TX. Fully onsite at a great location on South Congress. The work is better when we're all in the room, and lunch is free.
The office: plus coworkers who will humble you at all three.
One more thing: Somewhere in your notes app is a brand you've been building in secret. Bring it.
