Creative Director (Copy/Brand)

We're partnering with a leading branding agency to find a Creative Director who thrives at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and design. This is an opportunity to help shape brands from the inside out by developing compelling ideas, narratives, and creative systems that influence both business strategy and brand expression.
This is not a traditional advertising or campaign-driven Creative Director role. Instead, you'll collaborate closely with strategists, designers, writers, and executive leadership to solve complex business challenges through branding, identity, messaging, and creative thinking.
This person will work closely with one of the agency's co-founders and play a key role in leading multidisciplinary creative work across both verbal and visual brand development.
Responsibilities
Lead the creative direction for brand strategy, identity, positioning, and transformation engagements.
Develop compelling brand stories, messaging frameworks, creative concepts, and expressions that bring strategic ideas to life.
Contribute to both copy and art direction while ensuring consistency across every brand touchpoint.
Partner closely with strategists to translate business insights into meaningful creative solutions.
Present creative concepts and strategic recommendations to senior client stakeholders and executive leadership.
Lead multidisciplinary teams of writers, designers, and strategists from concept through execution.
Maintain exceptional creative standards while mentoring and inspiring creative talent.
Bring fresh cultural perspectives and innovative thinking to every engagement.
Qualifications
8+ years of experience in creative leadership within a branding or brand strategy agency.
Must come from a branding-focused agency such as Interbrand, SYPartners, Design Bridge, Collins, Landor, Wolff Olins, Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR), Pentagram, Mucho, or a similar consultancy.
Strong portfolio demonstrating brand identity, creative strategy, storytelling, messaging, conceptual thinking, and brand development.
Ability to contribute across both copy and visual creative while leading integrated creative teams.
Experience presenting to C-suite executives and building trusted client relationships.
Excellent communication, storytelling, and presentation skills.
Passion for creating brands that solve business challenges and drive meaningful impact.
