We're partnering with a leading creative agency to find an outstanding Social-First Creative Director to lead creative across one of the world's most recognisable FMCG brands.
This is an opportunity for a creative leader who understands that social isn't an extension of a campaign—it's where ideas begin. You'll be responsible for developing culturally relevant, platform-native creative that drives engagement, builds communities and delivers measurable business impact.
You'll lead a talented multidisciplinary team, shape the creative vision for a flagship FMCG client and work closely with strategists, producers and client partners to deliver best-in-class social campaigns across channels including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beyond.
