Job Description

We’re on the hunt for an experienced and inspiring creative problem solver who is experienced in (and obsessed with) helping brands connect to consumers through influencers and creators.

They’ll be a key senior member of the team, responsible for developing ideas for our biggest and most complex creative briefs, working alongside and inspiring other team members and mentoring junior members of the team too.

We need someone who’s self-motivated & proactive. Someone who has been consistently providing original solutions to problems they’ve been given, and to problems they’ve proactively uncovered too.

Job Overview

This person will deeply understand what great social content looks like today and has their finger on the pulse of what’s to come. They spot emerging trends, know which creators are defining the next wave, and think ahead so the brands and social content they work on are always culturally relevant — never catching up.

They’ll understand how to develop ideas that get the best out of creators — giving enough direction to inspire, but leaving enough space for them to add their authentic creative spark too.

We’re looking for someone who is unsettled, in that they are in constant pursuit of better. They believe what has been done before is not ‘Best Practice’ but ‘Best so far’.

We want to see an obsession with creators, social media and the value they can offer to brands, but we’d also love to see an understanding of what ‘good’ looks like in other brand marketing channels too.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Creative Thinking and Making

• 6 Years of creative experience developing original ideas across brand social, creator channels and beyond.
• You have a proven background as an Art Director, Copywriter, or Creative Strategist, with a portfolio to match.
• You’re always tapped into culture. You love developing scroll-stopping, culture-first creative ideas that feel native to the feed and impossible to ignore.
• You’ll work simultaneously across a variety of brands, talking to a variety of audiences, in a variety of markets.
• You’ll be confident working in the role of a creative through every stage of the creative process with autonomy; from initial briefing to production and final delivery.
• You’ll structure, design and present your ideas (usually in Google Slides) composed of a compelling narrative with great content examples/ references.
• Proficiency in Adobe Suite.
• Proficiency in AI tools (Midjourney, Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, etc)
• Proficiency in Animation/Motion Graphics is a plus, but not mandatory.

Leadership, Direction & Mentorship

• You’ll set creative direction and give feedback on smaller creative tasks to the Design and Jr. Creatives.
• You’ll be comfortable line-managing/mentoring junior creative talent when the business need arises, guiding them to achieve great work and setting out clear goals for career progression
• As a senior member of the creative team, you’ll play a more vocal role with the wider agency when it comes to knowledge sharing and advocating for creativity – inspiring everyone to strive for more creativity in all of our responses.

Client Relations

• You’ll build strong creative relationships with key clients becoming their trusted expert when it comes to creativity.

Essential Experience & Skills

• You will be expected to confidently work in partnership with other creative & design team members and share learnings and knowledge with the entire agency.
• You’ll be experienced in working with Strategists, Client leads, Producers and Project Managers in a general day-to-day capacity.
• You’ll also be expected to know a wide selection of creators/ influencers and the content they create, and continue building this knowledge throughout your role at BDB.
• You should also have a great knowledge of social/digital media channels; including those less adopted by the masses (eg. Reddit, Discord).

Attributes

• High attention to detail and ability to meet tight deadlines
• Excitement to be part of a tight-knit yet growing team and industry
