&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;About Ogilvy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Ogilvy was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. David created a culture that deeply respects and cares about its people and clients. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:240}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;About the Role&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;We are looking for an Art Director who combines strong conceptual thinking with exceptional visual craft. Someone who can find an original idea in a brief, develop a distinctive visual direction and bring it to life with care and precision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;none&quot;&gt;What You’ll Do&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:240}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Concept development&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Turn strategic briefs and audience insights into original, relevant campaign ideas with a clear central thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Explore different creative routes, challenge obvious answers and explain what makes each idea compelling for the brand and its audience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Partner with copywriters and strategists to develop ideas where the words and visuals work together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Build ideas that can extend meaningfully across film, social, digital, print, outdoor and activations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Art direction and craft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Define a distinctive visual language for each concept through typography, composition, colour, photography, illustration and moving image.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Personally create polished key visuals, layouts, storyboards and presentation decks that communicate the idea clearly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Develop campaign executions that feel coherent across formats while using the strengths of each channel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Refine the details throughout the process, from image selection and retouching to hierarchy, spacing and final artwork.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Production and collaboration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Present concepts confidently to colleagues and clients, explaining the thinking behind creative decisions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Use feedback to strengthen the work while protecting the core idea and maintaining the quality of execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Coordinate with account management, planning and traffic teams to deliver work on brief, on time and within budget.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;none&quot;&gt;What You’ll Need&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:240}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A portfolio that demonstrates both original campaign thinking and a consistently high standard of design and art direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Strong hands-on skills in typography, layout, composition and image-making.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and the ability to prepare work accurately for digital and print production.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;An understanding of visual storytelling, photography and film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Curiosity about culture, behaviour and emerging creative techniques, with the ability to turn inspiration into work that is relevant to the brief.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Ownership of your work, attention to detail and the ability to manage several projects while collaborating openly with the team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;none&quot;&gt;How We’ll Support You&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:240}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Ogilvy celebrates its people. Fully. Enthusiastically. Unhesitatingly. We’ll empower you with the tools you’ll need to succeed. We’ll give you the autonomy to seek out new paths and better ways of doing things. We’ll support you with colleagues who are experts in their disciplines, drawn from across the Ogilvy network.
