We are the next-gen creative platform, working at the collision of people, commerce, creativity and technology – purpose-built for the world’s most ambitious brands, delivering content at the speed of culture.

Our Content Solutions team is the CGI and content engine of the agency – a specialist group of art directors, CGI artists, retouchers and producers who create photorealistic 3D product and packaging imagery for the world’s biggest CPG brands. We turn physical products into pixel-perfect renders, building the assets, systems and libraries that power campaigns across retail, ecommerce, social, digital and beyond.

A multidisciplinary group of makers and problem-solvers, we pair technical craft with sharp creative judgement to deliver work at the top tier of the industry.

This position calls for a highly collaborative team member with a creative spark, developing design abilities, strong communication skills, passion, and self-motivation. Working under the direction of an Art Director, you will help bring high-caliber, photorealistic CGI product and packaging work to life, informed by a strategic framework and brand narrative.

As an Associate 3D / CGI Art Director you contribute to big ideas and, above all, help execute them across different touchpoints and mediums – supporting the team as work is presented and sold internally and to clients.

You have a developing design eye and growing hands‑on CGI prowess, paired with conceptual thinking that is beginning to address client needs and business goals. You are eager to move from supporting ideas to crafting high‑impact photoreal renders, and you are keen to learn across channels – social and digital as well as retail programs, in‑store communications, ecommerce, packaging and beyond.

You help uphold the quality bar for the creative product of the company at a level that is amongst the top tier within the industry.

You’ll work with teams across our entire global Marks ecosystem, on an exciting range of clients and categories, including toys, food & beverage, beer, wine, spirits, technology, personal care, beauty, retail, and many more.
