About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Creative / Art Director to join our core creative team. You will help lead the development of original, culturally resonant ideas across integrated campaigns — shaping work that travels across platforms, communities and channels.

You think ideas first, channels second, and are comfortable building campaign platforms, brand movements, content ecosystems and earned-first creative. You understand how ideas move through culture, media and technology — and how to make them connect meaningfully with audiences.

You’ll play a key role across our client roster, contributing to campaign development, proactive ideation, pitches and business growth. You’ll also help elevate the department’s creative output — supporting, inspiring and collaborating with those around you.

Working in a hybrid environment across central London and remote, you’ll partner closely with other creatives strategists, designers, producers, to deliver work that stands out creatively and delivers meaningful impact.

We welcome candidates from non-linear career paths, and value different perspectives, lived experiences and creative approaches.

What You’ll Do
  • Develop original, culturally relevant creative ideas across campaigns and platforms

  • Deliver high-quality creative work, in partnership with the Executive Creative Director

  • Translate strategy and insight into clear, compelling creative platforms and executions

  • Build campaign narratives, storytelling systems and brand expressions

  • Present ideas clearly and confidently to clients and internal teams

  • Manage multiple projects while maintaining creative quality and attention to detail

  • Contribute proactively to new business, pitches and organic client growth

  • Stay curious about emerging platforms, formats, trends and cultural shifts

  • Collaborate closely across strategy, account management, PR, social, influence, design and production

What You’ll Bring
  • A strong portfolio of creative ideas demonstrating originality, craft and multi-disciplinary thinking

  • Big idea thinking that goes beyond execution into campaign platforms and brand storytelling

  • A collaborative, open mindset and strong team ethic

  • Proactive, entrepreneurial energy — spotting opportunities and bringing ideas forward

  • A passion for culture, creativity and contributing to agency life

You Are Great At
  • Creating content people genuinely want to engage with, share and talk about

  • Developing campaign platforms, brand narratives and earned-first ideas

  • Working fluently across platforms, understanding their strengths, limitations and creative opportunities

  • Turning strategic challenges into simple, powerful creative solutions

  • Thinking beyond the brief to transform brands and business outcomes

  • Translating ideas into brand behaviour, visual identity and lived experience

  • Crafting stories and building brands through campaign-level thinking

  • Collaborating across disciplines in both long-term projects and fast-paced, reactive moments

At Ogilvy, our people are at the heart of what we do: a creative agency that sparks game-changing ideas across culture and business through collaboration, integrity, and a celebration of self-expression. 

We believe in building powerful teams with purpose - and we relentlessly curate transformative initiatives that make our commitment to fairness, and equity a reality. 

Our ultimate mission is to leave a positive impact on the world, creating a better future for all, while supporting and uplifting the global communities we serve.  This is central to our mantra of Borderless Creativity.

Ogilvy is an equal opportunity employer and considers applicants for all positions without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect in which everyone feels they belong and has the same opportunities to progress in their careers.
