Embedded within our dedicated on-site agency hub in Barcelona, you will partner closely with a Senior Copywriter to form a powerhouse conceptual creative duo. Working directly with the client's General Brand Teams, your focus will be upstream and platform-defining: translating global strategy into arresting visual ideas, distinct brand identities, hero campaign assets, and comprehensive global master toolkits designed for worldwide impact.

This role is built for a visually ambitious, craft-obsessed Art Director who thrives on conceptual storytelling, setting high aesthetic standards, and creating campaigns that celebrate the bond between pets and pet parents globally.

- Art direction & shoot leadership: Provide visual direction on film and photography shoots, collaborating with production partners, directors, photographers, and retouchers to bring creative concepts to life.
- AI proficiency: Comfort producing static images and videos with the help of different AI platforms is expected.
- Client pitching & influence: Present visual concepts, design rationale, and art direction territories directly to the client's Global Brand Directors and marketing leads with clarity and conviction.
- Brand guardianship: Ensure visual consistency, premium craft, and distinct identity separation across each of the four unique pet food brands.
- Studio mentorship: Collaborate with and mentor designers,



artworkers, and junior creatives, elevating the overall design and art direction benchmark across the studio.

WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE

- Portfolio: An outstanding portfolio showcasing big-idea conceptual thinking, integrated global campaigns, impeccable typography, and modern digital and visual craft.

- Collaborative chemistry: Proven success working collaboratively in an Art Director / Copywriter team setup, with a proactive, solution-oriented approach.
