Resume Roast for Art Directors

Art Director resumes are scanned for brands, campaigns, and team leadership, with the portfolio doing the heavy lifting. The reviewer wants to know whose visual work you directed, at what scale, and with how many hands under your guidance. Award mentions help; campaign results help more. Directed the visual system for a national retail campaign across TV, social, and in-store, with a team of five: that sentence works.

What Gabe checks first on a Art Director resume

Name campaigns and their reach, like led visual direction for a product launch spanning broadcast, paid social, and packaging in 2,000 stores.
State team scope: designers, photographers, illustrators, agencies you directed, and how the work stayed coherent across them.
Include results when the campaign produced them, like brand campaign that lifted consideration 9 points in tracking. Directors who cite outcomes get bigger budgets.
