You are a heavyweight champion when it comes to the modern day social (media) landscape, new platforms, upcoming techniques, and the latest trends. With your unique eye, you can spot creative opportunities within communities and shift them into strategic underlined briefs for a creative team of other social masterminds. You are a hybrid creative with multiple skills up your sleeve to create output resulting in the buildup of strong social strategies, solid ideas, engaging social campaigns and formats, newsworthy digital activations, and more. You are ready to start leading a team of creatives in order to step up towards a position of Creative Director in the near future.
Goal of the position
As an Creative Director, you steer the boat and run a tight ship to ensure the quality of the final products is grade A material for global brands like Heineken. You will inspire and guide a young team of driven (a tad goofy, a little wild, but always dedicated) innovators to deliver strong concepts and executions, overseeing the entire process, reviewing ideas, and staying up to date with the (E)CD, Account Director, Project Managers, Strategists and Client. All with the brand and social strategy of a client like Heineken, encrypted in the back of your head.
You report to a business lead and a Executive Creative Director on a creative & management level, and to the Account Director on a client & project level.
What we expect from you
We’re looking for an Creative Director who’s no stranger to social exploration within the hasty world of advertising. Being creative is evidently a no-brainer but you’re experienced with creating original and effective formats, assets, and campaigns, translating them into decks with your team and then eloquently pitching them to our clients. You always manage to squeeze yourself and your creative team through tight deadlines. You’re agile, a strong communicator, you take charge and ownership of the brand on all social channels, helping everyone grow - yourself included. In short, you’re the conductor orchestrating home-run projects with your team that’ll leave clients begging for more.
