The opportunity here is for someone who wants a fresh start – you want to be fresh thinking, entrepreneurial, have more autonomy to lead and guide your own path. You’re visionary and will have the support of a fantastic MD who joined them 6 months ago from a very large, well-known global agency because they too wanted less process, less bureaucracy and an opportunity to make their own path. Be a part of this journey and adventure and feel their energy!

As Creative Director of Brand, you’ll lead the development of creative concepts and strategies for client projects, ensuring alignment with brand objectives and market trends. Oversee the execution of brand positioning, identity through to packaging design, full brand activation, maintaining high-quality standards and exceeding client expectations. Collaborate closely with clients to understand their brand vision and translate it into compelling visual solutions that drive brand differentiation and consumer engagement.

Mentor and guide a team of creatives, foster creative growth and excellence. Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies, driving innovation and thought leadership in design. Collaborate cross-functionally with account managers, copywriters, and other team members to deliver integrated campaigns that resonate with target audiences.

You’ll have a deep understanding of design principles, typography, colour theory, and layout, with a keen eye for detail. Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to inspire and guide a team towards creative excellence and of course you’re a strategic thinker with a passion for storytelling through design, driving brand narratives and consumer engagement.
