Job Description

We're not looking for someone who can make things look good.

We're looking for someone who can make ideas impossible to ignore.

At dentsu, art direction is more than choosing layouts, references, or visual styles. It's about seeing possibilities others don't. Finding the tension in an insight. Bringing shape to an idea before it exists. Creating work that people stop for, remember, and feel something about.

We're looking for an Art Director who is equally driven by concept and craft. Someone who can think beyond execution, challenge the obvious, and bring a distinctive point of view to the work. You'll partner closely with copywriters, strategists, designers, and creative leaders to create integrated campaigns, content, films, digital experiences, and brand stories.

We believe good work starts with curiosity and becomes stronger through collaboration, craft, and a willingness to explore beyond the obvious.

That's often where the most memorable ideas are found.
