Get Access To All JobsCreative Director, Art Direction at Monigle
About us
At Monigle, we humanize brands to move people. As the largest independent brand-focused agency in the country, the quality of our work starts and ends with the people doing it — their passion, curiosity, and refusal to settle for good enough.
Our Advertising team is small, agile, and genuinely passionate about what creativity can do to earn attention, shape behavior, and influence culture. We see the entire funnel as our playground, and our work reflects our optimism and agility. We're smart, strategic, and scrappy — showing up for each other and for our colleagues across the agency to make every day a little better and more inspiring than the day before.
The Role
We're looking for a Creative Director, Art Director who is more than a talented visual thinker — you're a strategic force, a master of craft and a dynamic presence who can sell ideas through imagery, design, and visual storytelling that captures both imagination and heart.
The Details
- You have some experience in a leadership role or are ready to make the leap into the next phase of your amazing career. Either way, you're a team player who can translate a brief into a distinctive visual language and see that vision through with the highest degree of creativity and quality.
- You're a positivity magnet, someone who rallies teams and excites clients with equal parts artistic conviction and collaborative generosity.
- You're a performance-driven pro who can create at any altitude — being as comfortable on a shoot with clients as you are perfecting the details on the smallest of activation tactics.
- You'll report to our Executive Creative Director and partner closely with our Creative Director, Copy. Together, you're the creative engine of the growing department — leading the work, building business, and contributing to our dynamic culture.
-
Lead the work. Own the visual concept and art direction on major campaigns from brief through production. Establish the aesthetic language, make the craft decisions, and push the work past the expected — across media and throughout the funnel.
-
Create across media. Performance-driven creativity is our rocket fuel for solving problems. You have perspective on how to earn attention and spark engagement at the outset of every project.
-
Partner and elevate. Here, we are each other's people. You'll collaborate with strategy, digital, visual designers, verbalist, client services, studio artists, and production to ensure creative integrity across every handoff and every touchpoint is a seamless exchange.
-
Move with purpose. You're nimble by nature, and equally comfortable in a fast-turn social brief and multi-layered brand launch. You show up where needed and respect timelines without letting them flatten the work.
-
Use AI as a creative accelerator. Neither a crutch nor a novelty, we embrace AI tools as part of how you explore, visualize, and pressure-test ideas. We want someone who's already figured out how to make them serve the work, and who isn't afraid to push into new territory.
-
Contribute to new business. Help concept and pitch ideas that win.
Your Experience
- 7+ years of creative experience in advertising, with a portfolio that demonstrates genuine conceptual range and strong, distinctive visual thinking across formats.
- Exceptional creative taste, and a demonstrated passion and point of view for every facet of the work.
- Hands-on proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and AI creative tools (Gemini, MidJourney, Firefly, Runway, or equivalent).
- Proven fluency in today's media landscape: how visual content behaves across platforms, how performance creative works, how channels can shape ideas.
- Experience working in health and wellness, financial services and destination brands a plus.
- The presence to present and represent the work, our group and our agency with conviction.
- We are also hiring for CD, Copy, so we are open to interviewing teams.
Lastly…
We can't wait to meet you!
Salary range: $135,000 - $165,000
Final salary will be determined based on seniority, merit, geographic location, education, training and experience – reach out to us to learn more.
Our people take care of us, so we take care of our people. Enjoy:
- Ample paid time off to recharge and reset
- 401K: traditional and Roth options, plus employer match
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental and life insurance premiums for employees
- Optional vision, life, short-term and long-term disability coverage
- Paid maternity leave
If you don't meet all of the requirements for this role, but feel you have something unique to contribute to Monigle, we'd love to hear from you. Please do apply and tell us more about you in your cover letter.
Application Deadline: May 13, 2026

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Creative Manager
Match your degree to the role
H-1B approval for Creative Manager positions hinges on a direct connection between your degree field and the role. A degree in marketing, communications, or design supports the petition. A general business degree without a creative specialization can trigger an RFE.
Verify the LCA wage level before accepting
Run your job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search before signing an offer. If the employer's offered wage falls below Level I prevailing wage, the LCA won't certify and the H-1B petition can't proceed.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Creative Manager roles by employers who have filed LCAs for this occupation code. That filing history signals an established sponsorship process, not a first-time attempt that delays your start date.
Request premium processing for creative roles
Creative Manager petitions sometimes draw specialty occupation RFEs because the role spans strategy and execution. Premium processing gets you a USCIS decision within 15 business days, limiting the period of uncertainty after your offer is accepted.
Document portfolio work as petition evidence
Your employer's attorney will need evidence the role requires a specific degree, not just creative talent. Provide job postings from comparable companies that list degree requirements, and prepare a portfolio that maps your specialized education to campaign or brand deliverables.
Clarify cap-exempt status if in academia or nonprofits
Creative Manager roles at universities, museums, or certain nonprofits may qualify as cap-exempt under USCIS rules. Cap-exempt employers can file outside the annual lottery window, letting you start sooner without waiting for October 1.
H-1B Visa Creative Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Creative Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, if the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field like marketing, communications, graphic design, or fine arts. The employer must demonstrate the degree is a minimum requirement for the role, not just preferred. Job postings from comparable companies requiring the same degree help substantiate the specialty occupation claim in the petition.
What happens if my creative degree doesn't exactly match the job title?
USCIS evaluates whether your degree field is directly related to the duties of a Creative Manager. A degree in communications or marketing supporting a brand strategy role is typically acceptable. A degree in an unrelated field, like accounting, usually isn't. A credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized evaluator can help if your degree is from outside the U.S. or has an unconventional title.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Creative Manager positions?
Search for Creative Manager roles on Migrate Mate, which filters listings by employers with verified LCA filing history for this occupation. This approach surfaces companies that have already navigated the DOL certification process for creative roles, reducing the risk of landing with an employer unfamiliar with H-1B sponsorship requirements for this position type.
Can I change employers after my H-1B is approved as a Creative Manager?
Yes, through H-1B portability under AC21. Once your petition has been approved and you've been working in H-1B status for at least six months, you can move to a new employer in a same or similar occupational classification while the new employer's petition is pending. Creative Manager roles generally fall under the same SOC code, which supports portability eligibility.
What does the employer need to file before my H-1B petition is submitted?
The employer must first file a Labor Condition Application with DOL, certifying the offered wage meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for your occupation and work location. The LCA must be certified before USCIS will accept the I-129 petition. The employer also posts a public notice at the worksite for ten consecutive business days as part of the LCA process.
