Describe
The Be Bold Conference exists to inspire, equip, and empower. The Creative Director leads the entire creative vision – brand, theme, stage visuals, motion/video, web/social, merchandise, and on‑site media.
What You'll Do
- Creative Vision & Brand System – Own and evolve the visual identity and annual theme; translate vision into a cohesive, scalable design system across all channels and venues.
- Partner with Executive, Production, and Music teams to craft spiritually aligned stage looks, screen content, and service moments (walk‑ins, transitions, lower thirds, lyric/scripture backgrounds).
- Build creative guidelines, templates, and usage standards for internal teams and vendors.
Content, Merch & Media Production
- Design event/conference graphics: main & sub‑themes, stage screens, countdowns, lower thirds, slide templates, web banners, email headers, social covers/thumbnails, ads, on‑site signage.
- Merchandise: Own apparel and product design from concept to print‑ready art (tees, hoodies, hats, stickers, journals, lanyards, mugs, posters). Deliver tech packs, colorways, size runs, and print specs; coordinate with vendors for samples, QA, and on‑time delivery.
- Video (promo + in‑event): Create trailers/teasers, testimonies, speaker features, social shorts, paid‑ad edits; produce in‑event packages (openers, walk‑ins, transitions, bumpers, scripture/motion backgrounds, recap reels).
- Deliver multi‑format masters and cut‑downs (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), captioned and platform‑optimized; manage b‑roll, music licensing, and archival.
AI & Emerging Tech Leadership
- Implement ethical, generative‑AI workflows to boost speed and quality (image/text effects, look‑dev, captioning/transcription, content repurposing).
- Set guardrails for licensing, attribution, and ministry‑appropriate usage; encourage content provenance best practices.
- Pilot AI assistants for meeting notes, creative reviews, and automated task creation in project tools.
Live Experience, Screens & Environments
- Coordinate LED/visual playback with presentation systems (e.g., ProPresenter‑style).
- Collaborate with Broadcast/IMAG for switch, mix, and record (e.g., ATEM‑style) to ensure the livestream complements the in‑room experience (consistent lower thirds, bugs, replay packages).
- Build operator playbooks and run‑of‑show graphics cues; support rehearsals and show‑lock deadlines.
Digital, Social & Campaigns
- Own the asset slate for web, email, ads, reels/shorts, social graphics, motion templates, and merch artwork; maintain a reusable library of templates and motion toolkits.
- Partner with Marketing to A/B test thumbnails/hooks/headlines and iterate based on performance (CTR/CPV/CPA/ROAS).
- Maintain an organized DAM (naming, versioning, rights) for rapid reuse across future cities.
Team Leadership & Operations
- Build and mentor a blended team (staff, freelancers, volunteers). Establish clear briefs, review cadences, and QA standards.
- Own creative calendars, sprint plans, and deliverable trackers; manage vendor relationships (photo/video crews, LED providers, printers) and steward the creative budget.
- Representative Technology & AI Stack: Standardize the stack with Production/IT and evaluate equivalents as needed.
- Presentation & Lyrics: Multi‑screen presentation/lyrics system with stage display, lower thirds, NDI support.
- Broadcast/Streaming: Hardware/software switcher (keying/macros), resilient multi‑destination streaming.
- Playback/LED: Media servers or VJ software for LED walls and immersive looks.
- Audio Sync: Tracks/cues platform for synchronized service flow.
- Creative & AI: Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere) plus generative‑AI tools.
- Transcription/Notes: AI note‑taking and summary tools integrated with project management.
What You'll Need
- 3+ years in creative direction, motion/brand design, or live‑event creative.
- Portfolio demonstrating integrated campaigns (brand, stage, broadcast, social) and strong visual storytelling.
- Fluency with Adobe CC; experience with live presentation workflows and LED/broadcast fundamentals.
- Demonstrated merch/apparel design experience (print specs, colour separations, vendor‑ready files).
- Proven video/motion chops (trailers, bumpers, social shorts); ability to deliver platform‑optimized edits with captions.
- Strong leadership, communication, and project management skills; thrives under tight timelines.
