CREATIVE DIRECTOR + ART DIRECTOR
Hi, I'm Joseph Guy!
CREATIVE DIRECTOR + ART DIRECTOR
I’m a globally ambitious creative leader who has years of experience using creative mediums such as cross-channel media campaigns to foster connection—looking to grow brands across communities.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with an incredible variety of brands and organizations, from national brands to nationally recognized non-profits. My work reflects my belief that great stories—when told inclusively and authentically—can drive real change. I thrive on crafting ideas that are bold, disruptive, and deeply aligned with culture. Every project I lead is grounded in an integrative approach that transforms complex ideas into creative solutions that matter.
For me, creativity only has value when it delivers results. With a wide-ranging toolkit in both ideation and execution, I bring a holistic perspective to every project. I specialize in crafting and executing campaigns that span various mediums, such as social media creative, brand shoots, commercials, activations, and design collateral. I ensure every detail aligns seamlessly with the overarching vision to deliver both creative impact and strategic effectiveness.

- Chris Vidal l Creative Producer at Acadia
Not only is he an amazing coworker but he’s an awesome mentor as many of us know! In our bi weekly check-ins I had been expressing my desire to grow more as a creative and not only did he listen to me but he also placed in front of me a clear plan with various opportunities to grow!
- Dariae Willis l Creative Producer at Acadia
So, so rewarding to sit in on the Sky Zone [Acadia Client] call with you and watch the client react to all the hard work here with NOTHING but EXCELLENT things to say. Some of my favorite quotes -- "I don't know how you got all 10 of these kids to smile and look so excited in each and every one of these shots, these are excellent" "From start to finish this captures and it engages.” "I love the emotions and energy your team captured" "I don't have anything except good things to say, so I guess I'm just going to have to nitpick" I know there was a whole huge team behind this but today, thank you Joseph for steering this huge creative ship, and presenting our work with confidence.
- Paula Ersly l Head of Social Strategy [Current Manager] at Acadia
