• Conduct ongoing creative, cultural, and industry research, identifying emerging trends, visual languages, cultural movements, artists, photographers, designers, and relevant references that can inform and evolve the brand’s creative expression.
• Review and refine creative work throughout the development process, maintaining high standards of execution, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
• Support the Head of Image and Creative Production and the Creative Director in defining and evolving the brand’s broader visual language and creative direction.
• Manage presentations and creative reviews with internal stakeholders and external partners, effectively communicating creative ideas and securing alignment.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of brand guidelines and creative standards across markets and channels.
