Jobbeschreibung

Overview

This role is part of our Concept team based in Berlin. You’ll work with a vibrant mix of talents, ranging from Brand Strategists, Creatives, Designers, Social Experts and Influencer Marketers to Account managers and Producers. As a digital creative marketing agency, we mix traditional storytelling with the best of what today’s technology has to offer to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients.

JOB PURPOSE: We are looking for a German speaking Creative Director who can turn great ideas into memorable stories that build future-proof brands – by using any means, technology, or channel necessary. Someone who can lead a diverse group of talents to develop innovative ideas for renowned clients like Lieferando, eBay, Salamander and Hyundai, to name a few.

Key responsibilities

• Build brands: As creative leader, you will be the one responsible for the creative vision and output of our business partners and brands. You’ll shape their voice, grow their brand, and help them stay ahead of the competition with creativity, innovation, and technology.
• Lead our creative teams: You’ll work closely with brand and content strategists, art directors, copywriters, designers, and experienced AI and UX specialists to tell stories, create campaigns, and build products. All while pushing them to the highest level of creative excellence.
• Manage and mentor: You will be directly responsible for overseeing a number of creatives and nurturing their personal and professional development.
• Grow the business: You will be responsible for growing DEPT’s creative footprint by winning clients and building stronger relationships with existing ones.
• Build our culture: Together with the ECD and other creative directors across DEPT you will be a strong pillar that holds up our creative culture. You’ll inspire internally and represent DEPT externally.

What we are looking for

• While we’re looking for a German speaker, the candidate will have to have excellent writing ability in English and be comfortable working in both languages.

• Strong ability to understand and integrate technology into creative work.
• Strong portfolio showcasing expertise in concept development, storytelling, and execution across multiple platforms.
• Deep understanding of cultural insights and their application in creative work.
• Award-winning ideas are not mandatory but they would be more than welcome.
• Proven leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and drive business results with the highest level of creative work.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, capable of pitching ideas persuasively to clients and stakeholders.
• Ability to juggle multiple projects in a fast-paced, start-up-like environment.
• Keen interest in pop culture, digital trends and social media
