Established in the UK in 2009, we are currently experiencing rapid growth, with offices in New York, London, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney and Gijon in Spain.
Our Difference is in the data. Our vision is simple: To transform digital advertising into meaningful individual experiences.
The Role
As a
Senior Creative Executive
, you will play a key hands-on role in elevating the quality, craft, and execution of Crimtan's creative output across accounts in the US, Europe, and MENA. Based full time in our
Hove office
, this role is designed for an experienced creative with a sharp eye for detail, strong design judgement, and confidence across both static and motion disciplines.
This is a
delivery-led role
with senior expectations. You will spend the majority of your time producing high-quality digital and motion assets, acting as a trusted creative authority for account teams, and helping to raise execution standards through example. While this role does not involve line management, you will influence quality, consistency, and best practice through your craft, collaboration, and professionalism.
A working understanding of
programmatic advertising and campaign strategy
is important for this role. You will be expected to feel comfortable engaging with
persona-led thinking
, audience context, and performance-driven objectives, using this understanding to inform creative decisions and execution.
A strategic mindset is encouraged - you will be expected to understand campaign objectives, audiences, and performance signals - but this role is not responsible for owning creative strategy. Instead, you will translate insight and direction into clear, well-crafted creative executions that perform.
