Creative Team (Art Director & Copywriter)
Remote | Full-Time | South African Applicants Only
Salary:R120,000 - R130,000 per month, per person
We're looking for an established Senior Creative Team—an Art Director and Copywriter who already work exceptionally well together—to join our growing creative division supporting leading UK and international brands.
This is not a traditional agency role. You'll become a dedicated creative team embedded within a portfolio of global clients, producing integrated campaigns across digital, social, brand, content, and advertising.
We're looking for creatives who combine world-class conceptual thinking with modern creative workflows, including the intelligent use of AI to enhance ideation, production, research and execution.
What You'll Do
Develop breakthrough creative concepts from brief to execution.
Produce integrated campaigns across digital, social, print, video and experiential.
Present ideas confidently to internal stakeholders and clients.
Create compelling brand storytelling and campaign messaging.
Develop copy across advertising, digital, social, web, CRM, video and thought leadership.
Create visually exceptional creative work aligned with strategic objectives.
Collaborate closely with strategists, designers, producers and account teams.
Leverage AI tools to accelerate research, ideation, content creation, concept development and creative production while maintaining exceptional creative quality.
Use AI as a creative partner—not a replacement for strategic thinking or original ideas.
Maintain exceptional creative standards while delivering at pace.
Contribute to pitches, new business opportunities and creative innovation.
What We're Looking For
Art Director
8+ years' experience in an advertising agency or creative studio.
Outstanding portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking and craft.
Expert in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma and modern AI-assisted creative workflows.
Experience using tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, ChatGPT, Runway, Kling, Veo, or similar AI platforms.
Strong experience across integrated campaigns.
Digital-first mindset with exceptional typography, layout and visual storytelling skills.
Copywriter
8+ years' experience writing for major brands.
Exceptional conceptual thinking and storytelling ability.
Experience writing across advertising, digital, social, brand and content.
Skilled in using AI tools to enhance research, brainstorming, content generation and campaign development while maintaining an authentic brand voice.
Excellent presentation and client-facing communication skills.
Ability to adapt tone of voice across multiple industries.
As a Team
We're specifically looking for an existing creative partnership that:
Has worked together successfully for several years.
Thinks concept-first rather than execution-first.
Has experience working on international brands.
Uses AI to enhance speed, efficiency and creative exploration without sacrificing originality or strategic thinking.
Thrives on collaboration and constructive feedback.
Produces award-worthy or commercially effective creative work.
Understands strategy as well as creativity.
Is comfortable working remotely with global teams.
Requirements
South African citizens or permanent residents.
Based in South Africa.
Available to work full-time remotely.
Reliable fibre internet and professional home office.
Fluent English (written and spoken).
Comfortable collaborating across UK business hours when required.
Demonstrated experience using AI tools within the creative process.
Bonus Points
Experience with UK or international clients.
Integrated agency experience.
FMCG, retail, financial services, technology, healthcare or B2B experience.
Award-winning work (Loeries, Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, The ANDYs, etc.).
Experience creating AI-generated imagery, video, presentations or rapid creative prototypes.
Experience developing AI-powered creative workflows or prompting frameworks.
What We Offer
R120,000 - R130,000 per month, per person
Fully remote role.
Long-term opportunity with international clients.
Work on globally recognised brands.
Collaborative, high-performing creative culture.
Exposure to world-class briefs and international campaigns.
The opportunity to help shape the future of AI-enabled creative work.
How to Apply
Please submit:
Your CV.
A combined portfolio (or individual portfolios).
Examples of campaigns where you've incorporated AI into the creative process (please specify the tools used and your role).
A short introduction explaining why your creative partnership works so well.
Links to any award-winning or standout campaigns.
Please note: This opportunity is open only to applicants currently based in South Africa. We are specifically recruiting an existing Art Director and Copywriter team, and individual applications will not be considered.
