Creative Content Director (Copy-Led, Hands-On)
Permanent | London Hybrid
An independent, fast-growth creative agency is looking for a copy-led Creative Content Director to help shape the next chapter of its creative offering across a growing portfolio of global healthcare, technology and lifestyle brands.
This role is rooted in content as much as campaigns.
We're looking for a senior creative who has built their career within content-led agencies and integrated environments rather than traditional advertising agencies alone. Someone who understands how brands show up through content ecosystems — creating ideas that extend beyond a single campaign and into films, social, thought leadership, editorial programmes, toolkits and always-on communications.
You'll have come up through the craft of writing and storytelling before progressing into creative leadership, but you'll still love being close to the work itself.
This isn't a role for someone who simply reviews and signs things off. We're looking for a hands-on Creative Content Director who enjoys shaping narratives, refining copy, building presentations and helping teams turn strong thinking into exceptional creative.
You'll thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy the energy that comes with a growing business and know how to maintain high standards whilst managing multiple workstreams and clients.
What you'll be doing:
• Leading creative development from brief through to delivery across a diverse client portfolio.
• Developing integrated ideas spanning content, social, film, digital and broader campaign activity.
• Creating messaging frameworks, campaign narratives and storytelling approaches.
• Writing and refining scripts, presentations, headlines and key creative narratives.
• Partnering with Strategy to translate insight into compelling creative solutions.
• Presenting and selling ideas to senior stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
• Collaborating closely with Creative, Account and Production teams to bring ideas to life.
• Mentoring and developing creatives whilst remaining actively involved in the work.
• Championing exceptional standards of craft across every output.
What we're looking for:
• Significant experience as a copy-led Creative Director or Creative Content Director within content, integrated or creative agencies.
• A career that started in writing and storytelling, with a portfolio demonstrating both conceptual thinking and exceptional craft.
• Strong experience building content-rich programmes and integrated communications across multiple channels.
• Experience working with healthcare, technology or similarly complex global brands.
• Someone comfortable operating at pace without compromising quality.
• Excellent presentation skills and the confidence to influence senior clients and internal stakeholders.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach and genuine passion for making the work better.
Why join?
This is an opportunity to play a key role within a fast-growth agency at a pivotal stage of its journey.
You'll have the chance to influence the creative direction of the business, work across a broad mix of global brands and help shape the culture, standards and output of a growing team.
If you're a Creative Content Director who thrives on variety, enjoys the pace of agency life and still gets a kick out of making the work, we'd love to hear from you.
