Art Director

Jakarta - Menara Sentraya Building · On-site

About this role

Job Description:

Some ideas are easy to like. The ones that matter make you stop.

They make you look twice. Feel something. See a familiar brand differently. And sometimes, they become the work people remember long after the campaign is over.

As an Art Director at dentsu Creative, you'll help create those ideas. You'll work with Copywriters, Creative Directors, Strategists, and Designers to turn insights into concepts, concepts into visual worlds, and visual worlds into work with a reason to exist. You'll have the space to explore, challenge the obvious, and bring your own point of view to every idea.

Because the best part of being a creative isn't making something beautiful. It's having an idea worth fighting for, giving it a form only you could see, and watching it make its way into the world.

What You'll Do

  • Find the idea by working with Copywriters and Creative Directors to turn briefs, insights, and cultural tensions into concepts people want to see.

  • Give the idea a visual world through art direction, design, imagery, typography, storytelling, motion, and craft across campaigns, content, social, digital, film, and brand experiences.

  • Protect and push the idea from the first thought through final execution, knowing when to stay true to the original thought and when to make it better.

  • Bring your point of view to the room by presenting creative ideas with clarity, passion, and the thinking behind them.

  • Make the people and work around you better by guiding designers, collaborating across disciplines, and holding yourself and the team to a high creative standard.

A Bit About You

  • Experience as an Art Director or Visual Creative within a creative, integrated, digital, or advertising agency. Fresh graduates with exceptional portfolios are welcome.

  • Your portfolio shows ideas with a point of view, not just polished executions. We want to see what you thought, why you thought it, and how you brought it to life.

  • You see possibilities where others see limitations. You question the obvious and are always looking for a more interesting way into a problem.

  • You care deeply about culture, design, storytelling, craft, and the details that make an idea feel right.

  • You're collaborative but not afraid to have an opinion. You welcome feedback, know how to fight for an idea, and care more about making the work better than being right.

  • Please include your portfolio with your application. We'd love to see how you think, not just what you've made.
