In other words they believe that great creative should generate fantastic brand awareness that leads to incremental sales and not just industry awards!
Buying habits have changed beyond recognition. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to establish what channel of communication has affected a consumers’ propensity to buy. We live in the age of the “internet enabled buyer” which has had a profound impact on the way in which an agency operates. Marketing communications need to take a seamless journey from online to purchase, whether through click-to-buy, sales meetings or in store and this Creative Director role is responsible for making sure that happens.
As Creative Director you will be responsible for leading and inspiring a talented team of art directors, copywriters and designers. The creative resource is the most valuable element of the agency’s client service offering which makes this a position of significant responsibility. We are looking for strategic thought leader. Your success will be measured by your ability to operate at both a creative and strategic level, all the time keeping one eye on the brief in collaboration with the agency’s account team. Your team will work across a number of marketing solutions channels from digital to POS, from retail to B2B lead generation and as such you need to understand and have worked in a truly integrated environment, possibly with a background in planning.
Your creative excellence is a given however it is your ability to plan and to lead which will set you apart in this process, as well as your level of digital expertise.
You must have a demonstrable track record of success in leading account growth and development with a strong commercial attitude to applied design and ideally some experience of the technology sector.
In return you can expect to operate at board level in a business that has a desire and an expectation to grow considerably over the next five years.
