Job Description
Job Description
Compensation: $55,000 – $75,000 annually depending on experience.
This is a mid level creative role with a direct path to growth.
You are wired to concept. You read a brief and you’re already three ideas deep before the meeting ends.
You understand that ideas need structure to survive — a great concept that can’t be pitched clearly doesn’t exist. You can write, visualize, and present. You know how to make a deck that sells the idea and not just describes it.
You don’t wait to be assigned work. You look at what a client needs, what they haven’t asked for yet, and you build something for it. That instinct — proactive, curious, hungry — is what this role runs on.
Your output is concepts, pitches, and creative development.
What you’ll be doingGenerate creative concepts continuously — for new business pitches, existing client campaigns, and proactive opportunities identified with the account team.
Build pitch decks and campaign presentations that communicate ideas with clarity and conviction. This is a core deliverable of the role.
Develop campaign concepts grounded in strategy. You understand that the best creative ideas come from real insight, not aesthetic preference.
Work directly with the CD on concepting — you are round one. You bring the volume, the CD helps you find the signal.
Support the CD on large client projects and run creative on smaller ones independently as your track record grows.
Collaborate with Account and Production teams daily. These are not separate lanes — every good project here is a three-team effort.
Develop a working knowledge of each client’s brand, category, audience, and communication goals. You cannot concept well for a client you don’t understand.
Contribute to ongoing creative development of the agency — how we present, how we pitch, how we show up.
This role involves working outside standard hours, international travel, and working weekends and holidays.
✔3–5 years in a creative role — agency, in-house, or production company. You’ve concepted campaigns, built presentations, and had your ideas tested by real clients or real audiences.
✔A strategic foundation. You know how to read a brief, RFP, and find the insight that makes a campaign worth making. Great aesthetics alone won’t get you here.
✔A strong deck builder. You can translate a creative idea into a presentation that makes decision-makers lean forward. This is non-negotiable.
✔A writer who thinks visually and a visual thinker who can write. You move fluidly between words and images to communicate ideas.
✔Comfortable with ambiguity and iteration. Ideas get pushed, pulled, and rebuilt here. You thrive in that environment — you don’t take it personally.
✔Genuinely collaborative. You work well with accounts, production, and clients. You understand that creative doesn’t exist in isolation.
✔Proficient in Google Workspace (G-Suite) and presentation tools. Your decks should look as good as your ideas.
Bonus if you also bring✔Agency experience specifically — you understand multi-service pitching, client service dynamics, and the pace of agency life.
✔Experience in automotive, motorsport, lifestyle, or culture-driven categories. Genuine passion for this world will make everything you make better.
✔On-set experience — not required, but if you’ve been on shoots and understand the production process, you’ll hit the ground faster.
✔Experience with post-production — understand the process well enough to protect the creative vision through the cut.

If that sounds like your kind of life, hit apply.
