Jobbeschreibung

Senior Concept Creative | Copy & Art (US native speaker, on-site Hamburg)

Join us at oktopods Agency GmbH, a multi-disciplinary creative agency that merges creativity, technology, and data to deliver bold ideas that break through screens, pitches, and expectations. We are looking for a senior concept creative (copy, strategy, art) with native US English (American or British).

If English isn’t your mother tongue, this isn’t your role. The nuance, rhythm, and instinct of your writing must feel as natural as breathing—because your words will define how global brands speak.

Responsibilities

• Develop campaign concepts that connect brand strategy, storytelling, and design.
• Write copy and campaign ideas at a world‑class level! Sharp, human, and effortless.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure alignment with business objectives and brand identity.
• Present and sell ideas internally and to clients with confidence.
• Contribute to strategic discussions and refine creative briefs.
• Stay ahead of cultural and creative trends, especially the kind that win hearts and awards (Cannes Lions experience is a big plus).
• Push ideas beyond the expected, toward the kind of work that gets noticed and remembered.

Qualifications

• Native English speaker (American or British) — mandatory.
• Extensive experience (5+ years) in creative or advertising agencies.
• Proven background in conceptual, copy‑led campaign work.
• Portfolio that demonstrates storytelling, wit, and craft across platforms.
• Strategic understanding of brand and communication design.
• Digital fluency—social, film, experiential, and beyond.
• Experience collaborating in multi‑disciplinary teams.
• Clear understanding of AI tools, their territories, strengths, and weaknesses.
• Production experience and understanding in both traditional and CGI environments.
• Experience with award‑winning work (Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, etc.) is a plus.
• Strong expertise in branding, storytelling, and communication strategies.
• Excellent collaboration skills, with experience working cross‑functionally with internal and external stakeholders.

Your Superpowers

• Strategic mind – You love the “why” behind ideas, connecting audience insight and brand purpose into work that earns attention.
• Story architect – You build meaning, taking a brand truth and crafting it into a story world that feels both smart and effortless.
• Visual thinker – You see, not just write. Every line lives with an image, tone, and motion in your head.
• Presentation powerhouse – You command a room, presenting with clarity, confidence, and charisma. You make people see the idea before it even exists.
• Digital native – You move comfortably across platforms and understand how storytelling shifts from social to manifesto.
• AI‑enhanced creative – You treat AI as an amplifier, using it creatively from concept generation to visualization, knowing its strengths, weaknesses, and how to direct it effectively.
• Craft maniac – You edit until every syllable hits right, living for the line that makes everyone stop and say “that’s it.”

Benefits

• In‑house creative training with outside guests and award‑winning mentoring program.
• International creative projects with bold brands and brave clients.
• Opportunity to work abroad (on our expense) for short periods.
• Real creative ownership – your ideas shape campaigns, not just fill decks.
• International team on two continents.
• Creative environment encouraging experimentation, risk‑taking, and excellence.
• Office dogs, kicker tournaments, and zero unnecessary meetings.
• Multitude of varied tasks and lots of room for growth.
• A young and growing company where you can build and lead your own creative team.
• A relaxed yet excellence‑driven environment with quick decisions and a highly skilled team.

We’re not hiring for a seat‑filler. We’re hiring a storm. If you’ve got a portfolio full of boldness, weirdness, cleverness, or beautiful rebellion—let’s see it. Bring it on.
