As Creative Director (Experiential), you bring together big-picture thinking and hands-on craft — the strategic clarity to lead senior client relationships, and the creative authority to guide large-scale experiential work across global teams and markets. It's a role with real weight to it, including leading some of the world's most complex and high-profile global tentpole events, where great creative and flawless execution simply aren't optional. At this level, the work and the people behind it are both your responsibility.
You'll be the creative lead on complex, high-profile clients, steering large-scale experiential projects across markets and disciplines — from the first spark of strategy through to precision execution. You're a natural storyteller who can walk a room through a creative vision with real confidence and conviction. Creative strategy runs through everything you do, weaving audience insight, brand ambition, and bold creative expression into one clear vision. You know how to grow a creative team without losing what makes it special, how to develop talent without losing momentum, and how to hold a creative vision together across time zones, disciplines, and competing pressures.
