Job Overview

BDB is looking for an Associate Creative Director who can bring passion, confidence, leadership and inspiration to a creative team that’s already making waves.

As a creator-first social agency, we believe in building social strategy, creative and storytelling around creators. We’re not here to bolt them onto someone else’s idea, we shape the idea with creators from the start.

They’ll be responsible for developing ideas for our biggest and most complex creative briefs alongside mentoring and setting direction for other members of the creative team.

This person will deeply understand what consumers see as great content, which creators are currently making it, what it takes to develop it, and how brands can play a part in it.

They’ll know how to brief and collaborate with creators, giving enough structure to set a clear direction, but enough space for their personality and creativity to shine. They’ll believe that co-creation with talent can be a powerful brand-building tool and they’ll know what it takes to make that work.
