Creative Director (Copy)

Dallas, TX

We create cultural resonance for brands. Creativity That Matters is work that shatters the stratosphere. That’s why our quest to discover what’s next is endless — because the only thing we’re afraid of is the status quo. We make culture our personal playground. We launch far past the expected. We chase curiosity, deep into the shadows. We will never be just another agency. And we’ve got the audacity to prove it.

We Are TMA.

Job Overview:

You’re a leader and a juggler. You’re the person who makes clients feel like they have a trustworthy go-to. You push until it’s great, and then you push some more. You are one of those who can do and teach. You know how to fight your battles, but you’re even better at picking them. You know how to find the best people, and you know how to keep them. And you can sell it like it’s the best we’ve ever done, every time.
