Associate Creative Director (Freelance)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the "Applicants MUST submit a link to a portfolio..."? That's an application instruction; we should remove it. Also remove the scam warning etc. Also remove the EEO statement. Also remove the accommodation contact? That's also maybe part of application instructions; but it's about accommodation for disabled applicants; could be considered EEO/legal; we should remove. Also remove the "Last but not least, we believe in diversity, equity and inclusion." and the EEO paragraph. Also remove the "Experience Without Limits Come shape the future..."? That's introductory fluff; but it's part of About the role? Might be considered About the role content. We need to keep substantive info about role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, pay, schedule, benefits if any. Benefits not mentioned; so we should not create Benefits section. Pay: we have compensation range $95-110/hr, commensurate with experience. The rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Pay is stated: $95-110/hr, commensurate with experience. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's a qualifier but still part of pay. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Does that mean we cannot have a Pay section if the only detail is "commensurate with experience"? But we also have a range. So we have actual numbers. So we can include Pay section with the range. Should we include the phrase "commensurate with experience"? It's not filler; it's additional info. Probably okay.
Schedule: we have "starting at 20 hours/wk through November 2026 and flexing up to 32hrs/wk, from November 2026 – May 2027." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: none mentioned, so omit.
Now we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly combine some.
We need to parse the posting for content.
Let's extract:
About the role: The introductory paragraph about Jack Morton and the role description: "Experience Without Limits Come shape the future of brand experience. At Jack Morton, we design and build head-turning, smile-inducing, impact-driving brand experiences that redefine what experiential marketing can achieve. We help our clients unlock the full value of experiences by turning bold ideas into meaningful connections. That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one. We build on each other's ideas, challenge conventions, and show up for one another every day. Here, you'll do your best work, grow quickly, and partner across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life. This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and every win is shared. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the passion and talent of the people behind it. Experience without limits—in your work, your growth, and your impact." Then the role title line: "Associate Creative Director - Freelance". Then details: "This is a freelance position, starting at 20 hours/wk through November 2026 and flexing up to 32hrs/wk, from November 2026 – May 2027." That's schedule; we will move to Schedule section. Also compensation line: "Compensation range for this role is $95-110/hr, commensurate with experience." That's Pay.
Then responsibilities: "As an Associate Creative Director, you will develop winning creative solutions that deliver client satisfaction and meet the financial and business objectives of Jack Morton. You will work across a portfolio of B2C & B2B clients that spans industries from integrated experiences, digital media, and content programs with the potential to expand into live events. You will focus on developing solutions that drive audience engagement and communicate client messages. The range of your communication solutions may include digital interactive, video, live presentations, social media, web, display technology and other strategies. We are looking for a hands-on, digital-minded Associate Creative Director with a background in copy or design, and experience leading creative and design teams. You have a strong POV and are accountable for generating big, brave, bold creative ideas and making these ideas come to life (about 25% concepting, 75% execution). Your primary client is a research-driven account, and you'll be responsible for digesting and distilling key concepts via different forms of content and conversations with subject matter experts. You'll report directly to the VP, Executive Creative Director."
Then "What You'll Be Doing" bullet list (actually sentences separated by periods). Let's extract each:
- Brand Expert: Skilled at mastering complex technical topics for diverse B2B and B2C audiences, pushing creative design boundaries, and connecting with unique audiences in unexpected ways.
- Digital-first Mindset: Proficient in crafting campaigns around digital assets (web banners, websites, social media, etc.) and spaces alongside web design and UX/strategy, while overseeing junior and freelance staff to ensure brand consistency and quality.
- Insight-Driven & Measurable: Be an expert in the strategy as outlined in the brief - able to provide strategic rationale for creative choices to give the work meaning and produce measurable results.
- Generating big creative ideas to address clients' business needs that are rooted in fresh brand, product, and audience insights.
- From draft to delivery, you are hands-on designing and executing big ideas.

- Presenting your ideas in a compelling way to internal audiences and clients.
- Helping to build the agency's reputation, profile and relationships with talent and clients.

- Directing the creatives on your project teams and adding to the team culture.
- Foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive team environment where different perspectives strengthen the work and different working styles are supported.
These are responsibilities.
Then "What You Will Bring": list of qualifications/requirements/skills.
- 5+ years of overall creative experience preferably at a brand or ideas-driven agency.
- Bachelors degree, preferably in communications, graphic design, digital media or related areas of study.
- Proven track record of delivering effective and outstanding creative work
- A background in copy or graphic design will be accepted.

- Events or exhibits creative experience is a plus!
- Expertise in Microsoft PowerPoint; proficiency in Figma, and for candidates with design backgrounds, proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite.
- Ample hands-on work experience (you are a "do-er") coupled with some management experience (you can lead a team - formally or informally).
- Engaging presentation skills and a track record of successfully selling and executing strategic creative ideas
- An unwavering curiosity for creative and cultural innovation
Also earlier: "We are looking for a hands-on, digital-minded Associate Creative Director with a background in copy or design, and experience leading creative and design teams." That's also a requirement.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Be Doing), Requirements (maybe years experience, degree), Qualifications (maybe education, experience), Skills (specific tools like PowerPoint, Figma, Adobe Suite). But we must not create thin sections; better to combine similar.
We have to use headings exactly as given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can omit those not having content.
We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (the bullet list). Requirements (maybe years experience, degree, background). Qualifications (maybe proven track record, etc). Skills (tools, management experience, presentation skills). Pay (compensation). Schedule (hours). Benefits none -> omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not include Job ID etc. Not present.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the sections we include.
We need to format lists using - . For prose, use
.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" as a heading only; but we can include it inside Pay paragraph.
Now craft HTML.
First, About the role: combine the introductory fluff and maybe the role description before responsibilities. Should we include the sentence about freelance position? That's schedule; we will move to Schedule. So About the role includes the paragraph about Jack Morton and the role's purpose, maybe also the line about primary client and reporting to VP? That could be responsibilities. But we can keep it in About the role as description. However we need to avoid duplication.
Let's decide: About the role: the paragraph about Jack Morton and the role's impact, plus maybe the sentence "As an Associate Creative Director, you will develop winning creative solutions..." That's more responsibility. But we can keep it in About the role as overview. However the responsibilities list later is more detailed. To avoid duplication, we could keep About the role as the fluff about company and role purpose, and keep the detailed responsibilities in Responsibilities section.
Thus About the role content: "Experience Without Limits Come shape the future of brand experience. At Jack Morton, we design and build head-turning, smile-inducing, impact-driving brand experiences that redefine what experiential marketing can achieve. We help our clients unlock the full value of experiences by turning bold ideas into meaningful connections. That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one.

Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the passion and talent of the people behind it. Experience without limits—in your work, your growth, and your impact."
That seems fine.
Now Responsibilities: the bullet list under "What You'll Be Doing". We'll convert each to
- . Ensure we keep the bold headings? The bullet list includes headings like "Brand Expert:" etc. We'll keep them as part of the li text.
Now Requirements: we need to capture years experience, degree, background in copy/graphic design, experience leading teams, maybe also "hands-on, digital-minded". But those could be skills. Let's define Requirements as the baseline qualifications: 5+ years experience, Bachelors degree preferably in communications/graphic design/digital media, background in copy or graphic design accepted, experience leading creative/design teams. Also maybe "hands-on, digital-minded" is a skill.
We'll put those in
- .
Qualifications: proven track record of delivering effective and outstanding creative work, experience with integrated marketing, media and digital communications campaigns preferred, events or exhibits creative experience is a plus, expertise in Microsoft PowerPoint; proficiency in Figma; for design backgrounds proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, ample hands-on work experience coupled with some management experience, engaging presentation skills and track record of selling/executing strategic creative ideas, unwavering curiosity
