Push teams toward work that is distinctive, culturally relevant, strategically grounded, and effective.
Ensure ideas translate naturally across social platforms while having the potential to extend into broader integrated campaigns and experiences.
Stay deeply connected to culture, emerging platforms, creators, technology, and changing audience behaviours.
Build a creative culture where experimentation, curiosity, collaboration, and ambitious thinking are encouraged.
Team Leadership
Lead, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary creative team across copy, art direction, design, content, and social creative.

Help define the structure, capabilities, and talent AntiSocial needs as the company continues to grow.
Identify opportunities to strengthen the team through hiring, development, freelance talent, and external creative partners.
Foster an inclusive, collaborative environment where people can do the strongest work of their careers.
Clients & New Business
Act as a senior creative partner to key clients, building trust and confidently presenting and defending creative thinking.

Partner with Strategy and Account leadership to develop strong creative briefs and ensure strategic thinking carries through to execution.
Play a leadership role in pitches and new business, helping shape the creative story and representing AntiSocial in the room.

Creative Excellence & Execution
Oversee work from initial brief and concept through production and final delivery.
Partner closely with Production to ensure ambitious ideas are executed at a high level while remaining realistic about budgets, timelines, and platforms.
Balance brand-building creativity with the speed, volume, and responsiveness required by social.
Raise the quality of both large campaign work and everyday content – understanding that every touchpoint contributes to the brand.
Know when to push for craft and polish and when speed, relevance, and authenticity matter more.
What You’ll Bring
Significant creative leadership experience within an advertising, creative, social, or integrated agency environment.
Proven experience at the Creative Director, Group Creative Director, Executive Creative Director, or equivalent level.
A portfolio of standout creative work across social, digital, content, and integrated campaigns.
Deep understanding of social platforms and how creative behaviour differs across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging channels.
Strong conceptual thinking with the ability to move between big campaign ideas and fast, culturally relevant social content.
Experience leading and developing multidisciplinary creative teams.
Strong presentation skills and the ability to sell ambitious creative thinking to senior clients and stakeholders.
Experience leading pitches and contributing to new business growth.
