Integrated Creative Director
Sydney, NSW
We’re partnering with a fast‑growing creative agency to find an Integrated Creative Director who can move seamlessly between brand‑building ideas and performance‑driven creative. This is a role for someone who can write the line that launches a brand and the headline that earns a click on Meta and who understands exactly why those two things are different. You’ll own the creative vision across a diverse client portfolio, lead the big ideas, and be the person who decides when the work is ready to go out into the world.
This is a small, highly collaborative team with no layers between you and the work. You’ll sit shoulder‑to‑shoulder with strategy, media and data specialists who shape every brief, and you’ll lead concepting from the very first spark through to finished campaigns. You’ll write copy for both brand and performance channels, shape briefs with strategy and media, and guide designers through the creative process from initial direction to final art, motion, production and shoots when they arise. You’ll review every piece of work before it goes out, maintain the creative bar, present confidently to clients, champion the thinking, and lead the creative side of pitches. Just as importantly, you’ll mentor the team and help build a culture where people feel empowered to bring ideas forward.
To thrive here, you’ll bring at least seven years of creative experience, including a solid stretch leading teams at CD or ACD level. You’ll have brand platforms or campaigns you’re proud of and can talk through in detail, along with real performance creative experience — writing headlines and copy for paid social and understanding what makes something work in a feed versus on a billboard. You’ll know how to connect brand and performance so that weekly ads still feel unmistakably part of the brand. You’ll also be comfortable in a small team where you lead the work but still write and concept it yourself.
It’s a bonus if you have experience in social or creative strategy, regulated categories, video and motion direction, leading shoots with directors and photographers, new business, or a practical understanding of where AI tools genuinely help in production. But above all, this role is for a creative leader who sets the direction, protects the idea, elevates the craft, and still loves rolling up their sleeves to make the work.
If you’re an integrated thinker who can move fluidly between big brand ideas and performance‑driven creative and you want to lead, shape and make the work in a tight, talented team, we’d love to speak with you.
