Art Director

An Art Director role for designers who want their work to reach the public.
Location
Remote

Bellweather makes identities, campaigns, and websites for public institutions: libraries, hospitals, arts organizations, city agencies. Public work is seen by everyone and made for everyone. We think it deserves the best design there is. We’re hiring an Art Director to help lead that work with the creative team.

Recent clients include Brooklyn Public Library, NYC Votes, BRIC, and 988 Suicide Lifeline. Some of the work: Brooklyn Public Library, NYC Votes, BRIC, Discover Halifax.

We are committed to being a fully remote agency.

About us

We’re a team of twenty-five. Most of our clients are in government, health care, cultural institutions, nonprofits, and tourism. Projects start with research: before any design begins, our strategy team listens to the audiences the work is for.

Bellweather is wholly owned and led by women. Fewer than 1% of North American ad agencies are.
