Associate Art Director / Art Director (Marketing Agency)

We're looking for a Senior Art Director who is genuinely hands‑on — someone who has shot commercials, built key visuals that hold up across every format, and can hold the quality bar for the art team. You'll art direct campaigns end to end, sit in on pitches, and be the last set of eyes before work goes out.

What You’ll Be Doing

Craft & Concept

• Lead art direction from brief to final artwork — KV, campaign, social, digital, OOH, integrated
• Build key visuals that scale: one idea, executed cleanly across every size, ratio and channel
• Own the visual system of a campaign — layout, typography, colour, photography and retouch direction

Commercial Production

• Take commercial and photo shoots from treatment to delivery — casting, location, styling, set, director and photographer briefing
• On set as the client's visual conscience: framing, art, product hero shots, continuity
• Direct post — grade, retouch, motion and edit — so the final cut matches the intent

AI in the Workflow

• Use AI creative suites — Higgsfield, Midjourney, Firefly, Runway, Veo, Sora and whatever lands next — as a real part of the process, not a gimmick
• Move fast from idea to visual: AI-generated mood, storyboards, style frames and animatics for pitch and client sign-off
• Produce AI-assisted KV, retouch, extensions and motion where it makes the work better or the budget go further
• Know where AI breaks — consistency, hands, type, brand assets, likeness — and when to shoot it properly instead
• Share what you learn with the team and help shape how we use these tools responsibly (rights, likeness, client disclosure)

Pitch & Presentation

• Shape the visual narrative in new business pitches, from thinking through to deck
• Present and defend work to clients
• Work closely with Copy and Client Servicing throughout

Team & Quality Control

• QC the art team's output before it reaches clients — concept, craft, brand consistency, production readiness
• Run artwork and pre-press checks: bleed, resolution, colour profile, spec compliance, brand guideline adherence
• Mentor Art Directors and Designers through feedback, briefing and hands‑on work
• Set and maintain the quality bar — and make the standard explicit, not personal taste

Who You Are

• 5–8 years of agency experience, with commercial production and campaign KV work you can point to
• A portfolio of concept‑led work — able to talk through the thinking, not just the visuals
• Hands‑on and fast: Adobe CC (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma; motion or 3D a plus
• Fluent with AI creative tools (Higgsfield, Midjourney, Firefly, Runway or similar) — with output in your portfolio to show for it, and a clear view on where they help and where they don't
• Sharp on typography and layout in both English and Traditional Chinese
• Strong production knowledge — you know what's shootable, what's fixable in post, and what the budget really buys
• Able to give useful, specific critique that makes other people's work better
• Works fast under pitch pressure without dropping quality
• Up to date on platforms, formats, and what's working now
• Collaborative — best idea wins
