Are you a creative who lives and breathes social culture, constantly scrolling with an eye for what makes people stop, double-tap, and share? If you are a natural storyteller who can dream up big, scroll-stopping ideas and then roll up your sleeves to craft them into reality, this is your moment.
Profiles Creative is tasked to find a talented, permanent, full-time Social-First Art Director to join a fast-moving creative team in Surrey (hybrid).
As a Social-First Art Director, you will be the creative spark plug of a nimble, collaborative team. Supported directly by the Creative Director, you will work across the entire lifecycle of a project—from the very first spark of an idea to final, polished delivery. This is a role for a conceptual thinker who is also a hands-on maker, passionate about pushing campaigns into the spaces where modern audiences actually spend their time.
