MULTIMEDIA ART DIRECTOR AT ETU ODI COMMUNICATIONS | MULTIMEDIA ART JOBS IN LAGOS

About Company:

Etu Odi Nigeria is the next generation creative agency, combining insightful brand strategy, creative communication and engaging brand experience in helping organizations chart the course from awareness to loyalty in the minds and hearts of its customers.

Job Description:

We are seeking a high-caliber Multimedia Art Director to serve as the visual architect of our cross-platform campaigns. This is a mid-to-senior leadership role (3–7 years experience) designed for a "hybrid" creative—someone who possesses the hand-drawn soul of an illustrator and the technical precision of a motion designer.

Operating in a hybrid capacity in Lagos, you will lead the charge in transforming scripts and storylines into vivid 2D/3D narrative sequences. You will bridge the gap between static branding and immersive digital media, working in the "Creative Sandbox" alongside Copywriters and Web Developers. If you can manipulate light, texture, and motion to breathe life into characters and produce "scroll-stopping" multimedia campaigns under tight deadlines, we want your vision on our team.

Requirements:

1. Narrative Architecture & Storyboarding

• Script Interpretation: Dissect scripts and storylines to define animation requirements, ensuring every frame aligns with the client’s core messaging.

• Storyboard Engineering: Develop comprehensive storyboards that map out key scenes, camera angles, and narrative flow before moving into production.

• Conceptual "Scamping": Assist in generating initial "scamps" (rough sketches) and developing them into polished, high-fidelity layouts.

2. Motion, 3D & Technical Execution

• Multidimensional Asset Creation: Utilize industry-standard software to create lifelike 2D and 3D images, manipulating light, shadow, transparency, and texture to ensure characters and objects appear dynamic.

• Audio-Visual Sync: Lead the technical synchronization of frames and audio, ensuring a seamless sensory experience in all animated sequences.

• Specialty Equipment Management: Oversee the setup and use of production-grade equipment, including cameras and specialty video displays, to capture or scan hand-drawn assets.

3. Digital Synergy & Web Integration

• Web Collaboration: Partner with Web Developers to design animated menus and interactive hypertext links that enhance the UI/UX of digital products.

• Creative Diplomacy: Interact daily with Copywriters to develop integrated creative concepts that amplify brand personalities across social, web, and TV.

• Image Development: Lead high-end photo retouching and image manipulation projects to ensure all brand assets meet global quality standards.

4. Presentation & Project Governance

• Client Stewardship: Test, present, and implement final presentations for clients, defending creative choices with logic and commercial intelligence.

• Production Integrity: Ensure all designs are produced on time, within budget, and at the elite quality level promised to the client.

• New Business Support: Assist senior creative staff in developing "wow-factor" presentations for new business pitches and vendor collaborations.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree (BA/BSc/HND) in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Multimedia, or a related field.

• Experience: 3–7 years of experience in an advertising agency or production house, with a strong portfolio in motion and multimedia design.

• Tech Stack: Mastery of 2D/3D software (e.g., After Effects, Cinema 4D, Maya, Adobe Creative Suite) and experience with hand-drawing/scanning techniques.

Core Competencies

• Trend Awareness: Constant research into global advertising trends and emerging digital media tools.

• Versatility: Comfortable working across various media tools and possessing foundational production/filming experience.

• Organization: Discipline in maintaining an effective server filing system and managing project timelines.
