The posting

Due to business expansion we are looking for two Creative Directors to create category defining experiential work that people talk about, clients value and the industry recognises. You will be working in two of our key growth areas - beauty and drinks.

  • Review and elevate creative briefs, ensuring they are inspiring, focused and strategically on point.
  • Lead the development of big ideas across experiential, digital, social and retail environments.
  • Build compelling presentation narratives that bring ideas to life and excite clients using AI, visualising and 3D to bring these to life in polished and impactful ways.
  • Confidently present bold, inspiring creative work to senior clients and in pitch environments.
  • Lead and Inspire, mentor and develop creative talent, particularly more junior team members.
  • Partner with the Executive Creative Director and Client Development teams to grow and strengthen client relationships.

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.
