Job Description

We’re looking to hire a Creative Director, Social to join our rapidly growing Social Creative Lab at Dentsu Creative. You will report to the Group Creative Director and will be working on Social AOR for multiple well-known brands – this includes evergreen social, reactive opportunities and larger social-first campaigns, as well as in-house and external productions, and new biz pitches.

Our culture is everything. Everyone is here to make great work in a collaborative environment that runs on creative energy. We also make a promise… if you join our group, you will make a lot of great work for your book.

Dedication To Craft

Key Accountabilities

  • We want to make beautiful things for the internet in whatever format is deemed most relevant. We stand out in the market because every detail is considered. We consider the small things as much as we do the big.

‘Of The Internet’ Thinking

  • We’re looking for talent that has a deep passion for people and how they activate on the internet. You’ll need to be able to connect our brands to culture and have a strong track record of consistency with groundbreaking campaigns.
  • You should be obsessed with pop culture, have a personal interest in social networks – particularly TikTok, Twitter and Instagram – and whatever cool new thing pops up next.
  • You’re an early adopter and experimenter – you were playing around with BeReal months ago.
  • You’re a social-first creative who understands social-first thinking doesn’t end in channel
  • You have the belief that all facets of social are powerful and deserve the same care – from text-only tweets to an IG story to collaborating with the influencer team, and especially large activations that drive UGC.

Things This Job Is NOT

  • A social post factory.
  • We are not the ‘can you do the social posts for my TV spot’ group. We win our own clients. We run our own projects. We have our own relationships with clients (and they really are awesome).
  • Limited. We work whatever format makes sense for the project.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience
  • Examples of digital-first thinking. You need to love the internet and creating in that space.
  • Comfortable leading large teams (ex: 5-8 creatives at a time per client); we move at speed, we make lots of work, we need clear-eyed leaders. You need to love mentoring junior talent.
  • Interest in and ability to manage high volume of work while maintaining a high level of craft and creativity
  • You can master and keep straight multiple tones of voice
  • Independent and forward-thinker who believes in total accountability
  • Experience building and navigating relationships and trust with clients
  • Multiple levels of production experience – from big to small budgets
  • Understanding of importance of strategy to the work that we do and authoritatively push internal partners to get creative teams what they need
