Job description

Are you the mastermind of ideas, stories, and stunning campaigns? Come lead with us!

About the Role

We’re looking for a Creative Director who can set the vision, inspire teams, and push boundaries across digital, social, and traditional platforms. You’ll be the driving force behind imaginative campaigns that not only meet the brief but spark conversations, move audiences, and deliver real business impact. This role isn’t just about creative direction — it’s about shaping culture, mentoring talent, and ensuring our work always stands out.

What You’ll Do (aka Your Superpowers)

• Lead and inspire designers, copywriters, and content creators to bring bold ideas to life.
• Translate client briefs into imaginative, effective campaigns that break clutter.
• Collaborate with account, strategy, and media teams to align creativity with business goals.
• Pitch and present ideas to clients with clarity, conviction, and energy.
• Mentor creative talent, nurturing a culture of collaboration and experimentation.
• Oversee multiple campaigns and accounts at once, balancing big ideas with timelines.
• Maintain and elevate creative standards across all agency work.
• Stay on top of trends, culture, and emerging tech to keep ideas fresh and relevant.
• Manage feedback loops without losing the integrity of the original vision.
• Be the creative face of the agency — building client trust and strengthening relationships.

What to Expect (besides the creative rush)

• Office-based in Kolkata, with plenty of action on sets, shoots, and client presentations.
• A fast-paced, dynamic environment where creativity meets business impact.
• The challenge of demanding projects — matched by the reward of shaping memorable campaigns.
• A real chance to influence the agency’s creative culture and reputation.
• Long and irregular hours at times (shoots, pitches, launches), but the kind of work that makes it all worth it.

What You Bring to the Table

We’re open to all backgrounds, but bonus points if you’ve studied:

• Creative Advertising
• Communications / Media Studies
• Design / Fine Arts
• Journalism / English
• Marketing / PR

(That said, a strong portfolio and industry experience often speak louder than degrees.)

Skills That’ll Make You Shine

• Exceptional storytelling and concepting skills across formats.
• Strong leadership and team management chops.
• Confident presenter and persuasive communicator.
• Ability to balance creativity with commercial thinking.
• Resilient, adaptable, and calm under pressure.
• Deep understanding of branding, consumer psychology, and digital culture.
• Eye for craft, design detail, and production quality.
• Strong organizational and multitasking ability.
• Self-driven with curiosity for culture, technology, and new creative trends.

If this sounds like you, let’s shape ideas that matter — and build campaigns people remember.
