About the role
About Cramer
Cramer is a brand experience and content marketing agency with a talented and diverse
team. Over the past forty years, we've built a culture and studio delivery model that has
made us a trusted partner for global brands in technology, healthcare, and financial
services.
Our work creates moments and memories that drive teams, cultures, and customers. We
create events, brand cathedrals, immersive experiences, and marketing campaigns that
move audiences to take action. Started over 40 years ago by a US Olympian, Cramer is an
agency with a heart and passion for excellence — and proud to be recognized as one of The
Boston Globe's Top Places to Work.
About You
Are you a creative visionary who thrives at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and engineering? Do you love the work as much as the win — someone who's equally at home concepting a big brand moment and rolling up your sleeves to get it right? Cramer is looking for a Vice President, Creative Director to lead high-impact brand experiences that
captivate audiences and drive measurable results. Sound like you? Keep reading.
You'll work closely with our creative, strategy, account, production, and technology teams
to push ideas from concept through execution — across experiential, live events, and
integrated marketing campaigns. Your focus will be on events and experiential clients, but
we want someone with the range to take big ideas further. Show us both in your portfolio.

What We Need
Creative Leadership & Vision You set the creative standard. You push the work to be better, you know when something's
not there yet, and you know how to bring a room along with you. While this role does not
carry formal direct reports from day one, you'll be a natural mentor and collaborative force
on the creative team — someone others look to for direction, feedback, and inspiration.
Client-Facing Creative Partnership You'll work closely with account directors and executive producers to make sure creative
vision and brand strategy are fully aligned. You're a strong presenter who can sell ideas to
senior clients with confidence and warmth — and who knows how to bring clients into the
creative process rather than just presenting to them.
Innovation & Industry Awareness You stay genuinely curious about where the industry is heading. Emerging technologies —
generative AI, real-time production, volume stages, digital studio innovation — aren't
buzzwords to you, they're tools you're actively thinking about and experimenting with. You
bring that energy into the agency and into the work.
Business Development Support You love a blue-sky brief. You'll be an active contributor to pitches and new business
efforts — concepting ideas, shaping narratives, and helping the agency show up at its best
when it counts.
Quality & Craft You hold the bar high. You sweat the details because you know that's what separates good
work from great work, and you bring that sensibility to every project you touch.
