Creative Director

Creative Director Live visuals across brand, music and culture Location: Central London studio, 5-day week, 2-3 days WFH Salary: £75,000 Type: Permanent, Full-time About rapt rapt is a multimedia studio making immersive and interactive experiences. A Projection show on a landmark building, LED at stage scale, real-time visuals. One month a campaign launch in London, the next live visuals for an arena tour, the next an installation in a disused power station or the Nevada desert. We work with global brands, artists and cultural institutions. Previous names include BOSS, Nike, Valentino, McLaren, New Balance, TAG Heuer, Audemars Piguet, Netflix and Diageo. And the work doesn't stop with brands. We have an artistic practice of our own, and the self-initiated work feeds back into everything else. The last thing we want an audience to feel is nothing. We're a small team working on big projects all over the world, and the studio is growing. This role plays a real part in shaping what it becomes next. Role Overview We're looking for a Creative Director to lead creative across pitches and live projects. Sharp conceptual thinking, a strong visual sensibility, and the ability to take an idea from first response through to what the audience actually experiences. Projects range from arena tours and festival main stages to building-scale projection and gallery installations. This is a creative director with a producer's hat on. You need to know what it takes to make the idea real. Which people, how many days, what budget, what pipeline, and whether it lands on time. Not just the creative, but how realistic the creative is to deliver. You'll lead teams made up of internal people and external specialists, built per project from our freelance roster. You brief them, run them and sign off their work. You'll be running several pitches and several projects at the same time. Being highly organised isn't a nice-to-have here. You'll need to be fluent in immersive formats and creative technology, confident communicating ideas to clients and internal teams, and hands-on enough to sketch, write or visualise ideas yourself when needed. Key Responsibilities Pitches Lead creative direction on pitch responses. Approach every brief strategically: what the objective is, who the audience is, and what the angle is that wins it. Translate briefs into clear creative strategy and strong, original ideas. Shape visual concepts, narratives and deck content. Scope the content side: team, days and cost, working with the project manager. If the idea can't be built for the number, say so early. Projects Own creative quality from concept through production to delivery on site. Build, brief and manage freelance content teams from our roster: 2D, 3D, real-time, interactive, sound. Plan the content production: schedule it, resource it, track it, keep it on budget with the help of our internal team. Review and sign off content before it goes to the client or hits the media server. Present work to clients and collaborators with clarity and confidence. Studio Uphold creative standards across everything that leaves the studio. Motivate and guide creative teams across disciplines, from concept to delivery. Feed into internal R
