You’ll be the eye behind the ideas — the one who transforms strategy into stunning visuals and concepts into campaigns that live beyond ads. You’ll work hand-in-hand with copywriters, strategists, and creative teams to craft work that’s bold, smart, and culturally sharp. You’ll design, refine, and push the work until it sings — and you’ll help others do the same.

Job Responsibilities:

• Lead the Creative Charge: Contribute to, guide, and elevate the overall creative output of an award-winning team.

• Crack Big Ideas: Collaborate with Copywriters to develop breakthrough concepts grounded in insight and built to resonate.

• Own the visual identity of the brands you work on, ensuring consistency in design, aesthetics, and brand expression across every touchpoint.

• Present your ideas with confidence and conviction — to internal teams and clients alike.

• Partner & Align: Work closely with the internal team to ensure ideas meet client goals and strategic objectives.

• Build Relationships: Collaborate with business and client directors to foster trust and creative confidence.

• Mentor & Inspire: Motivate and nurture junior creatives, helping them aim higher and achieve creative excellence.

• Stay Plugged In: Keep your finger on the pulse of design trends, tech innovations, and cultural conversations.

• Champion the craft of art direction, and contribute to a creative culture that’s collaborative, curious, and always pushing for better.

Requirements:

• 5–7 years of experience in art direction within a creative or advertising agency.

• A strong portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft in design and concept development across integrated campaigns.

• 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.
