The role
We're looking for an Communcation Art Director who can bring conceptual ambition and the discipline to make it work in the real world.
You’ll take briefs from across our accounts and turn them into work that's original, on-strategy and built to land above the brief. Cross-channel communication experience is integral to the role. You understand how messaging hierarchy changes when you're designing for a 1-second glance versus a considered moment in a bar, and you know how to structure a toolkit so that hierarchy holds up across every touchpoint and market it lands in.
What you’ll do
- Translate brand strategy and client briefs into channel-specific creative concepts.
- Build and structure messaging hierarchy across complex toolkits that work in market.
- Adapt and roll out creative across multiple international markets, maintaining hierarchy and impact at every scale.
- Own creative execution from concept through to final production, with meticulous attention to detail.
- Push briefs further and spot the opportunities beyond what is being asked.
- Present ideas with clarity and conviction to both internal teams and clients.
- Collaborate closely with strategy, account teams and production to keep creative rooted in insight.
- Stay sharp on emerging formats and technologies to push our creative.
- Support the wider team to make work better.
What you’ll bring
- A strong portfolio demonstrating communication design across a variety of channels, with clear evidence of messaging hierarchy work.
- At least 5 years of experience in a creative agency, with a proven track record of delivering exceptional work.
- The ability to transform brand strategies into memorable creative executions.
- Proactive, self-motivated and unafraid to put forward challenging ideas.
- Comfort creating across multiple formats and scales, from small-format POS to large-scale retail environments.
- The ability to take a brief as a starting point, not an instruction manual.
- Confidence presenting and defending creative thinking.
- A collaborative, energised studio presence—you help shape culture as much as output.
