Great Art Directors are hard to find. Are you one of them?

Role: Mid-weight Art Director

Location: Kent Town

Employment: Full-time

We’re looking for an Art Director who loves ideas, cares about craft and is curious enough to look beyond the obvious.

We’re a strategy led, creatively sharp agency with more than 40 years of experience getting results for clients. We believe every brand has something great in them, and we’re here to bring it out with smart ideas and executions.That’s what you’ll help do.

This is a hands-on creative role for someone who can think conceptually, bring a robust visual point of view and just make things look awesome - from a med rec to a massive billboard, from a carousel to a cinema commercial.

Skills and experience are essential to do the job, but that’s only part of it. We’re after someone who is genuinely a fan of great advertising and design, is creatively hungry and excited by the possibility of making great work.

What you’ll do:

- Develop distinctive creative ideas in response to briefs, from initial concepts through to final execution.
- Work closely with copywriters and other creatives to develop ideas and visual approaches.
- Bring a strong visual perspective to everything from the big idea to the smallest detail.
- Art direct across digital, social, print, OOH, video, photography and whatever else the brief calls for.
- Develop moodboards, layouts, treatments, storyboards, presentations and other creative materials.
- Present and articulate creative ideas clearly and confidently, both internally and to clients.
- Work with photographers, directors, designers,



illustrators, animators and production partners to bring ideas to life.
- Stay close to the work throughout production and make sure the result exceeds the original idea.
- Continuously look for new, interesting and unexpected ways to creatively solve business problems.
- Bring ideas, references, inspiration and enthusiasm to the wider team.

You’ll ideally have

- 3 - 6 years’ experience as an art director in ad agency or a similarly creative environment.
- A portfolio that shows strong ideas, distinctive visual thinking and excellent execution.
- A sharp eye and a strong understanding of art direction, photography, film, design, typography and visual storytelling.
- Experience taking work from a brief all the way through to production.
- The ability to develop an idea rather than simply make something look nice.
- Confidence working across different channels, formats and creative disciplines.
- The ability to present and champion ideas while remaining open to feedback and collaboration.
- Strong attention to detail and high standards of craft.
- The ability to work autonomously while actively seeking collaboration and input when it makes the work better.

What you can expect

- To work closely with a talented, experienced team on a diverse range of clients and briefs, with the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to great work from beginning to end.

If that sounds exciting to you, we’d be excited to see your work.
