Senior Art Director – Creative Content Agency

Senior Art Director

Permanent | London (Hybrid) | Early September Start

Outstanding freelance Art Directors looking to transition into a permanent role will also be considered.

Beautifully crafted ideas. Brilliantly executed.

A fast-growing Creative Content Agency is looking for an exceptional Senior Art Director to help shape the next chapter of its creative output.

This isn't a traditional advertising agency role.

It's an opportunity for an Art Director who combines outstanding conceptual thinking with exceptional visual craft—someone who loves bringing ideas to life across integrated campaigns, social-first content, film, brand platforms and digital experiences.

Working alongside a highly collaborative team of Copywriters, Strategists, Designers and Producers, you'll create work that earns attention, builds brands and delivers real impact for global clients.

If you're happiest turning ambitious ideas into beautifully executed creative, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

This is a genuinely hands-on creative role where you'll still be designing—not simply directing others.

You'll help shape creative thinking from the earliest stages, translating concepts into compelling visual worlds that excite clients and inspire audiences.

One day you could be creating the visual identity for a global campaign. The next, developing key visuals, designing social-first creative, art directing a film shoot or building brand systems that work seamlessly across every touchpoint.

You'll work closely with the Head of Design while partnering with Copywriters and Strategists to ensure every idea is brought to life with exceptional creativity and craft.

What You'll Be Doing

• Developing visually compelling creative concepts across integrated campaigns, social-first content and brand platforms.
• Leading the visual development of campaigns from initial concept through to final delivery.
• Creating exceptional key visuals, layouts, presentations, treatments, mood boards and design systems.
• Designing beautifully crafted creative yourself—not simply directing others.
• Art directing photography, film and content shoots from pre-production through to delivery.
• Collaborating closely with Copywriters, Strategists, Motion Designers and Producers to create outstanding creative work.
• Presenting ideas confidently, bringing clients on the creative journey through both strategic thinking and exceptional craft.
• Maintaining the highest creative standards across every piece of work leaving the studio.
• Mentoring junior creatives and helping elevate the visual craft across the wider team.

About You

You'll have built your career within an integrated creative agency, Creative Content Agency or design studio, with a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft and conceptual thinking.

You'll bring:

• Outstanding visual thinking with exceptional design craft.
• Strong conceptual Art Direction experience.
• A brilliant eye for typography, composition, colour and imagery.
• Experience art directing photography and film shoots.
• Advanced Adobe Creative Suite and Figma skills.
• A portfolio showcasing branding, integrated campaigns, social content, film and digital creative.
• The confidence to take ownership of projects from concept through to final execution.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach with a genuine passion for making great work even better.

Experience with motion design is advantageous but by no means essential.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing Creative Content Agency at an exciting stage of its journey.

You'll work across healthcare, technology, sport, lifestyle and consumer brands, creating everything from integrated campaigns and global brand platforms to social-first content, films and cultural moments.

Most importantly, you'll have genuine influence—not only over the work you produce, but over the future direction of the agency as it continues to grow.

If you're looking for a role where exceptional ideas, outstanding craft and collaboration sit at the heart of everything, we'd love to hear from you.
