About Us
We are Dragons, a global creative agency working with bold brands to build cultural relevance, connection,and long-term impact through strategy-led creativity.
We bridge digitaland creative thinking, developing innovative work across skincare, healthcare, fashion, lifestyle, FMCG,and more. Our international teams in the US and Barcelona deliver results through smart strategy, sharp creativity,and meticulous execution.
About the Role
Weβre looking for a Creative Directorwith strong conceptual thinking, great visual taste and experience working across global wellness and lifestyle brands.
Someone who can move comfortably between product and lifestyle, science and culture,and who understands how creative needs to work across the full consumer journey. You might be working on a product with a complex ingredient or efficacy story one day, developing a talent-led campaign the next,and figuring out how that same brand idea translates into more product-focused or conversion-driven work further down the funnel. This is a global role, so weβre looking for someone who is comfortable developing ideas that can travel across markets and cultures without becoming generic. Youβll lead creative development across global wellness, beauty-adjacent and lifestyle brands,from early concepts and campaign platforms through to production and execution. Weβre looking for someone who cares about the idea as much as the craft, but also understands what the creative is there to do. Youβll work hand in hand with Strategy,as well as Copy, Design, Social and Production,to understand the audience, cultural context, role of each channeland each stage of the funnel,and translate that thinking into strong creative. This isnβt purely an art direction role. You need to be able to come up with strong campaign ideas, build on other peopleβs ideasand turn them into something bigger.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop strong global campaign ideasand creative platforms that can live across markets, channelsand executions.
Partner closely with strategists from the beginning of the process, challenging and building on briefs rather than simply receiving them.
Understandthe role creative plays across the full funnel,from building awarenessand brand desire to communicating product benefits, driving considerationand supporting conversion.
Know when an execution needs to build the brand, when it needs to explain the productand when it simply needs to make someone want it.
Turn strategy, product benefitsand consumer insights into simple, relevant creative ideas.
Build global creative platformsthat have a clear central idea while leaving enough room for markets to make them culturally relevant.
Lead the visual direction of brands across product, lifestyle, talent and culture-led work.
Find interesting ways to communicate ingredients, efficacy, innovation and science without everything suddenly looking clinical.
Make products feel desirable through photography, film, CGI, design, casting, styling and storytelling.
Bring productand lifestyle together naturally, rather than creating a beautiful lifestyle campaignand remembering the product at the end.
Develop ideas around talent, creators, partnershipsand cultural moments that make sense for the brandand the market.
Think beyond traditional campaign formatsand identify opportunities across social, experiences, collaborations, entertainmentand emerging culture.
Lead work from concept through production, keeping the original ideaand level of craft intact along the way.
Present and sell creative thinking to senior clientsand stakeholders across different markets.
Lead and develop multidisciplinaryand international creative teams.
What weβre looking for
A Creative Director who is conceptually strongand visually sophisticated,with a portfolio that shows range.
Big campaign thinking
Ideas with a clear point of view that can become genuine global platforms, not just a collection of executions.

A great eye for photography, film, casting, styling, designand contemporary brand aesthetics.
Product storytelling
Experience making products, ingredients, technology or benefits interestingand desirable, especially when thereβs real science or efficacy behind them.
Full-funnel creative thinking
An understanding of how people move from discovering a brand to consideringand buying it,and how the creative job changes along the way.
Strong creative + strategy partnership
Someone who likes working closely with strategists, has a point of view on the briefand knows how to turn strategic thinking into creative opportunities.
Global thinking
Experience developing work for multiple marketsand understanding the difference between a global ideaand simply making the same campaign appear everywhere.
