£Neg depending on experience

We’re partnering with a bold, culturally driven experiential agency redefining how brands engage with youth audiences globally. They’re looking for a Creative Director to lead pitch-winning ideas and high-impact campaigns over an initial 3-month contract.

The Role:

You’ll lead creative across standout student and youth-focused campaigns—shaping strategy-led, culturally connected ideas that live in the real world. This isn’t a traditional ATL role; we're looking for someone who thrives in brand experience and content-led environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead concept development and pitch creative for major experiential campaigns
• Collaborate across strategy, content, and production teams
• Deliver compelling decks with strong narrative and creative vision
• Guide and mentor junior creatives and freelance teams
• Ensure all work is grounded in cultural relevance and youth insight

About You:

• Senior creative with proven experience in experiential and youth culture campaigns
• Confident leading large pitches and bringing ideas to life across multiple channels
• Strong in either art direction or copy (or both), with a strategic mindset
• You must have examples of culture-led, youth-focused experiential work—this is vital

This is an exciting short-term role with a creatively ambitious agency doing powerful work that truly connects with youth audiences.
