Job description

WongDoody – that’s over 2,000 colleagues across 22 design studios on four continents. In Germany, around 300 colleagues work with us at our locations in Berlin, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, and remotely. Our service areas include Experience Design, Immersive Experiences, Influencer Marketing, and future-proof, holistic Digital Marketing. As part of Infosys, a global technology leader, we develop customer-centric solutions at the intersection of creativity, technology, and artificial intelligence.

We combine deep industry expertise in FMCG, retail, automotive, mechanical engineering, and technology. For brands such as dm, Otto, Porsche, Bosch, TRUMPF, and Mercedes-Benz, we create user-centered strategies, distinctive brand presences, digital products, and influencer campaigns that seamlessly integrate creativity, data, and media.

Our local benefits

• Flexible working hours and 100% overtime compensation
• Work where it works for you. At home or in the office, or any mix you like
• Working for strong brands and clients we believe in
• 30 days' vacation per year
• Urban Sports Club
• Corporate Benefits
• Nice people in welcoming teams

What you can expect

• Own the big idea for a digital-first world: develop concepts, headlines, and communication platforms that start from digital thinking and extend across campaigns, brand communications, CRM, and OOH.
• Set the bar for language: sharpen taglines, headlines, and copy across all our work, and be the person the team turns to when a line isn't good enough yet.
• Lead and win pitches: shape distinctive creative territories for new business and existing accounts, and present them with conviction.
• Guide a creative team: mentor copywriters and art directors through concept, refinement, and production with a clear point of view.
• Partner with strategy: translate strategic thinking into ideas that are both culturally sharp and commercially relevant.
• Stay culturally switched on: bring fresh reference points, tone, and craft into brand communication.
• Think ahead of the format: know digital environments inside out, and bring a sharp, curious take on where technology — including AI — can push an idea further, without ever letting the tool replace the thinking.

What we'd love to see

• A background in copywriting (ideally) — art direction backgrounds are welcome too, as long as the idea and the words come first.
• 8+ years of experience in creative direction or concept development at agencies or studios, with a track record of leading integrated, cross-channel campaigns.
• A portfolio built on strong ideas: headlines, campaign platforms, and communication concepts that hold up across touchpoints — not just polished executions.
• Experience leading and winning pitches, with confident, persuasive presentation skills.
• A natural mentor for copywriters and art directors.
• Fluent German is required, a very good level of English is appreciated.
• Clear, strategic thinking, and the instinct for what makes communication culturally relevant, not just correct.
• Genuine curiosity for what's next: fluent in digital culture and platforms, and someone who sees GenAI and emerging tools as a creative sparring partner — applied with judgment, not by default.
• A strong point of view, brought with positivity, ambition, and empathy into every room.

We care about your personality and professional skills. We don't care about your gender, age, nationality or appearance and are open to working with everyone.
