ART DIRECTOR
Makati, Philippines | Full-time | Hybrid
3–5 years of advertising or creative agency experience required
Republic Creatives is looking for a hybrid creative who can develop the visual idea, defend it in the room, and execute it across static, motion, and multimedia formats.
This role goes beyond making things look good. You will help determine what the work should say, how it should feel, and why people should care.
From campaign concepts and key visuals to social content, films, presentations, shoots, and on-ground experiences, you will help carry ideas from the first sketch to final execution.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Translate brand strategies and communication objectives into strong creative concepts and visual directions.
- Develop campaign ideas that can work across digital, social, ATL, OOH, retail, experiential, and other relevant platforms.
- Create and oversee key visuals, social media content, presentation decks, storyboards, videos, motion graphics, and campaign materials.
- Build visual systems that remain consistent across different formats without making every execution feel repetitive.
- Collaborate closely with copywriters, strategists, account managers, producers, and external partners.
- Participate in client presentations and clearly explain the thinking behind the work.
- Help shape the visual direction of photo and video shoots, including composition, styling, wardrobe, set, and overall treatment.
- Manage revisions, timelines, and multiple deliverables while maintaining a high standard of execution.
- Contribute to pitches, brainstorms, and internal creative reviews.
- Take ownership of the work—from the big idea down to the final detail.
WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING
- At least 3–5 years of relevant experience in an advertising, digital, or creative agency.
- A portfolio that demonstrates strong conceptual thinking, visual judgment, and execution across different platforms.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
- Experience using generative AI and other emerging creative tools is an advantage.
- Strong presentation and deck-design skills.
- A practical understanding of photo and video production.
- The ability to think in campaigns, not just individual layouts.
- The confidence to articulate your point of view and the maturity to listen, collaborate, and respond to direction.
- Strong attention to detail, time management, and composure under pressure.
- Genuine curiosity about culture, design, entertainment, technology, and how people consume content today.
WORK SET UP
- Hybrid until further notice - Monday and Friday: Work from anywhere, Tuesday - Thursday: On-site work / choose between 9AM to 6PM or 10AM to 7PM
- Company to issue laptop and other relevant tools
CHARACTER / MINDSET
We value creatives with a point of view, but without the ego that gets in the way of better work.
You should care about the thinking as much as the execution, the result as much as the presentation, and the team as much as your individual contribution.
If you can move confidently between concept and craft, and want to create work that lives across screens, stores, streets, and cultural moments, we would like to meet you.
