• Experience working across fully integrated campaigns (TV/video, digital, social, OOH, etc.).

• Exceptional craft in art direction and concept development, with the ability to translate ideas into visually compelling campaigns across platforms.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills — you work well with others and know how to take feedback and make the work better.

• Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling multiple projects and priorities.

• A natural team player who thrives in a collaborative creative environment.

• Highly detail-oriented and process-driven, without losing sight of big ideas.

• Deep understanding of local (Singapore) and regional markets — you know what resonates here and across Asia.

• Bonus points for regionally or internationally recognized work (Cannes Lions, D&AD, Most Contagious, Mashable features), or other accolades that show your ideas don’t just work, they win.
