Kepler executes engineered marketing, where every message and ad delivered helps create a more personalized and productive relationship between brands and their consumers. We do this by acting as clients’ agency of record, as their in-house team, or some hybrid of the two – and by harnessing data and technology across all paid digital media and data-driven CRM channels.
Kepler prides itself on being a great place to work. In fact, we’re proud to share that AdAge recognized Kepler among the Best Place to Work in 2022, validating our investment in our team and our clients.
This role operates within Kepler’s collaborative ecosystem, partnering closely with Marketing and Business Development teams to ensure creative output aligns with strategic objectives and supports company growth.
The Associate Creative Director, AI Design leads the fusion of graphic design mastery and next-generation AI creativity. This role is for a multidisciplinary design leader who excels in concept development, brand design, motion, and visual systems while leveraging advanced AI tools to push creative boundaries. The ACD will direct design across digital platforms, social, and video while helping shape new workflows that combine human taste with AI precision. This position requires a deep foundation in traditional design craft and hands-on expertise with modern AI tools across image, video, audio, and 3D production.
The ideal candidate is a nimble, self-motivated, and highly detail-oriented creative who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. They are proactive in exploring new technologies and ideas, able to independently develop prototypes and concepts that push the boundaries of creativity and technology. They bring a can-do attitude, a deep sense of curiosity, and a passion for collaboration—someone who contributes energy, positivity, and creative excellence to a close-knit, multi-disciplinary team. This individual should be equally comfortable discussing creative concepts with clients as they are refining details with designers and engineers. Strong communication—both written and verbal—is essential, especially when working remotely across distributed teams.
Beyond creative direction, this role helps define how emerging AI technologies are integrated into Kepler Creative’s workflows, shaping new ways of creating, testing, and scaling ideas with speed and precision. The ACD will contribute to the broader creative transformation at Kepler by developing repeatable AI systems, maintaining brand integrity across AI-generated outputs, and ensuring responsible and transparent use of generative tools. They will guide how design, automation, and creativity intersect, serving as both a practitioner and thought partner in evolving Kepler’s creative practice.
