Creative Director | Experiential Agency
Most experiential agencies nail the hero moment.
This one obsesses over every touchpoint in between - the small decisions most competitors don't even think to make.
Now they're expanding their creative leadership to match a growing pipeline of work.
Why this role:Genuine expansion hire - created by consistent account acquisition & growth, not a backfillA desk built for balance - retained accounts for stability, current-business pitches to keep the creative sharpA portfolio with real global recognition - the kind of work that gets noticedClient roster spans fashion houses, sportswear, major sport and premium drinks brandsA studio where the guest experience is considered end-to-end - not just the big idea, but every touchpoint that makes it land
The studio:A global-calibre experiential studio known as much for precision as for ambition. They deliver everything from major live productions to tightly-crafted, intimate brand activations, and the craft shows in the details other agencies skip.




The role:You'll own creative direction across the studio - leading projects from brief to delivery and setting the standard the rest of the team works to.
Expect real strategic weight: pressure-testing briefs before any concept work starts, pushing back when a client's thinking isn't sharp enough, and defending ideas on the strategic thinking behind them, not just the visual polish.
You'll lead pitches and recent-business presentations to senior stakeholders, and mentor the wider creative team - art directors, designers, producers - as they grow into bigger roles over time.
What you’ll bring:Proven experience as a Creative Director (or Associate CD/Senior Art Director) in events/experientialA track record spanning big-format event work and detail-heavy activationsStrong pitch and current-business presentation experienceExperience leading and developing a creative team
