Creative Director Job at Publicis Groupe Holdings B.V in New York
Publicis Groupe Holdings B.V, New York, NY, United States
Company description
Within Publicis Groupe’s Intelligent Creativity business, we specialize in bringing creative ideas to life, and to consumers. By combining 100 years of craft excellence with 6,000 experts across 52 locations of the world’s biggest studio network, we leverage the industry’s richest data, through the power of agentic AI, to radically redefine content production with Intelligent Content. We intuitively deliver this through Marcel Make, the world’s first Intelligent Content agent. The result? Predictively performing content that unlocks business growth in unprecedented ways. No more guesswork. No more waste. Just content that works, working a lot harder.
Overview We need a Creative Director who can do both the dazzling and the dependable, someone who knows how to balance the ‘Creative’ and the ‘Director’ in their title. Yes, you’ll lead marquee accounts, pitch bold campaigns, and bring home awards, but you’ll also elevate the everyday work, the essential, the consistent, the work that keeps the business running. You’ll manage clients, inspire teams, and partner across disciplines to push creative forward. From YouTube series and Twitch events to digital experiences and community activations, your ideas will make noise and make sense.
This isn’t just about glory. It’s about craft. About knowing that every piece of work, big or small, is a chance to build the brand. This role may also include conception, creating, capturing and even appearing in social content for our clients.
If you believe creative excellence should live in every brief, not just the ones that win awards, then maybe you’re the one.
