Creative Director - Art

(8–12 Years Experience)

Brighton Agency is looking for a Creative Director who can see the whole chessboard — and still cares about the kerning. You think in ideas, move with intention and know how to turn a good brief into work that actually earns attention, not just fills space.

We’re an independent agency full of curious, collaborative people who like solving real problems, not chasing shiny objects. We mix strategic brains with creative guts, and we want someone who thrives right in that intersection.

If you love shaping ideas, elevating the craft and mentoring rising creatives who are hungry to learn, you’re our kind of human.

What You’ll Do

• Lead concepting and creative development across everything we touch — digital, social, video, print, packaging and the occasional surprise curveball
• Translate client goals into creative that’s sharp, smart and unmistakably on brand
• Present ideas with clarity, confidence and a little sparkle
• Provide thoughtful direction and mentorship without ever steamrolling the room
• Keep the work aligned, on time and on point
• Bring a pulse on culture, design trends and what audiences actually care about

What You’ll Bring

• 8–12 years in advertising, marketing or design
• A portfolio with both brains and beauty — big ideas and strong execution
• Expert-level Adobe Creative Suite; CapCut, Figma or AI fluency earns bonus points
• The ability to think high-level and still sweat the details
• A collaborative, grounded approach to feedback and partnership
• A steady hand under pressure and a genuine interest in helping younger creatives grow

Why Brighton

Because we’re fiercely independent and intentionally collaborative. We listen twice as much as we speak, help each other get better every day and show up with the shared goal of doing great work that drives real results. No egos. No silos. No holding company strings attached. Just smart people making smart work — together.
