Job Details

In this role, you will guide students in developing technology-driven brand experiences, immersive storytelling, and innovative content strategies that push the boundaries of branding, marketing, and emerging platforms. This is an opportunity to shape the future of creative technology and brand innovation at the intersection of culture, storytelling, and emerging platforms.

This role is perfect for a dynamic, forward-thinking individual with expertise in artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, motion graphics, video, and cutting-edge content creation. As a creative director with a strong foundation in technology, design, and concept development, you will guide the next generation of students to push the boundaries of what’s possible in advertising.

With access to unparalleled environments and tools, SCAD offers a leading-edge platform for students to launch careers at the intersection of technology and creativity in advertising and branding.

As a professor, you’ll teach the fundamentals of design and inspire students to innovate and experiment with emerging technologies. Your ability to simulate brand experiences that transcend the physical world will be crucial in helping students envision and create the future of branding. A deep understanding of advertising, branding, and interactive design and hands-on experience in professional-level visual art and design production are essential. You’ll bring advanced knowledge of the latest platforms and technologies, empowering students to navigate and influence the evolving landscape of advertising and branding.

Woven throughout Georgia’s First City, SCAD Savannah is a sprawling campus immersed in one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the U.S. The city’s charming squares, richly preserved architecture, and storied history provide students, staff, and faculty alike a living laboratory to study art, architecture, and design.
