Art Director

This is sole creative ownership of an independent, founder-led luxury eyewear brand – the kind that turned a city’s culture into a cult fashion label. The bar is different here: cultural relevance and owning the brand conversation. The Role You’ll set creative vision and own where the brand goes next, partnering directly with the Founder & Creative Director. You’ll generate original campaign concepts and visual frameworks across photography, video, digital, social, print, OOH and retail – not execute someone else’s direction. Building the creative systems, you’ll define lanes that let a growing team operate with autonomy without lowering the standard. And you’ll direct key shoots on set, then lead and develop a team of photographers, graphic and spatial designers, plus freelancers, with scope for an associate AD beneath you. The Package $145,000 – $165,000 5 days a week in the studio Regular travel to New Orleans Portfolio-defining work The Person You’ve spent roughly 8 – 10+ years in art direction or creative leadership, most likely at a fashion-adjacent brand with real equity rather than a large legacy house – somewhere you’ve owned a brand’s creative rather than a slice of it. Your portfolio shows concept-led thinking and genuine taste, and you’ve worked closely with founders and senior creative leadership before. In a sentence: we’re after someone who has built and developed teams, and is fluent across Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. #J-18808-Ljbffr Craft Agency Ltd
