About the Agency:

We’re the world’s largest independent global B2B marketing agency, where curious minds create the future. If you’re someone who’s thought-provoking, ego-quashing, mistake-learning, all-including, convention-breaking, and always-growing with a passion for what you do, you’ll fit right in.

We’re one agency spread across eight global offices, and we let our work do the talking. Our recent accolades include Global B2B Agency of the Year at the B2B Marketing Awards, Agency of the Year at the Elevation Awards, and multiple wins at The Drum Awards, B2 ANA Awards, and Marketing Excellence Awards, Singapore.

About the role:
We’re looking for a hands-on Associate Creative Director who loves making the work as much as guiding it. You may be an experienced ACD or a senior art director ready for your next step.

You’ll turn complex business challenges into distinctive ideas across brand and demand campaigns, video, social, content, and experiences. You’ll design, art direct, and develop concepts that serve the brief, connect with audiences, and can be delivered within a client’s budget. You’ll also be able to tell the story behind the work: why an idea matters and what it can achieve.
  • Develop original concepts for integrated campaigns, from the first sketch through final execution.
  • Art direct and design the work, partnering with copywriters and production teams to bring ideas to life.
  • Create across channels, including experiential, creator partnership ideas, short-form video, and always-on social.
  • Work with account, strategy, production, and post-production partners to make ambitious ideas effective and executable.
  • Build and present persuasive creative stories that connect each idea to the audience, brand, and business challenge.
  • Own creative workstreams in partnership with Project Management, maintaining quality and momentum across multiple projects.
  • Guide teams on specific projects and help mid-level creatives grow through collaboration and constructive feedback.
  • Draw on culture, technology, design, and emerging formats to find fresh ways to solve client challenges.
  • 10+ years of art direction and design experience and a portfolio of original ideas with exceptional visual craft.
  • Experience creating integrated campaigns across multiple channels. B2B experience is required; B2C or in-house experience is a plus.
  • Experience working with technology brands and within established brand guidelines.
  • The ability to develop a creative vision, explain the thinking behind it, and execute the work yourself.
  • Strong presentation skills and the confidence to bring internal teams and clients along with a clear rationale.
  • Sound judgment about production, timelines, and budgets.
  • A collaborative approach, strong attention to detail, and the ability to keep several projects moving.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, illustrator, Photoshop, IndDesign with practical experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude, Flora in the creative process.
  • Experience with motion design is a plus.
