About the Role

We are seeking a highly conceptual, visionary Creative Group Head Art Director to lead the creative output on one of our flagship alcohol brands. This role calls for an inspiring creative leader who thrives on bold ideas, integrated thinking, and pushing craft to world-class standards. You'll partner closely with a Copywriter Group Head and work alongside strategy, account management, and production to deliver campaigns that resonate deeply with consumers, build cultural relevance, and drive brand growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Creative Leadership Lead the art direction and visual identity for the brand across ATL, digital, social, experiential, and shopper platforms. Oversee the creative process from concept to execution, ensuring high-quality craft and consistency. Inspire, mentor, and develop junior and mid-level art directors and designers within the team.
  • Conceptual Excellence Generate bold, innovative ideas that balance creativity with business objectives. Translate brand strategies and insights into breakthrough creative concepts. Champion work that cuts through culture, builds fame, and earns talkability.
  • Collaboration & Teamwork Work hand-in-hand with your Copywriter counterpart to deliver integrated creative solutions. Partner with strategy and account teams to ensure creative solutions are insight-led and client-focused. Collaborate with production and external partners to bring ideas to life at the highest possible standard.
  • Client Engagement Present ideas with confidence and clarity to senior clients. Build strong relationships with clients by understanding their business, brand ambition, and challenges. Act as a trusted creative partner, guiding clients toward brave, effective solutions.

Skills & Experience

  • 8+ years experience in an art direction role within a leading creative agency.
  • Proven track record of producing outstanding, award-winning integrated campaigns (alcohol/retail/lifestyle category experience advantageous).
  • Exceptional design and art direction skills with a strong portfolio showcasing craft, originality, and versatility.
  • Ability to lead, inspire, and mentor creative teams.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills with confidence in client-facing situations.
  • Deep understanding of pop culture, digital platforms, and consumer behavior.
  • Resilient, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
