Creative Director - Experiential Agency

Dubai, UAE | Full-time | Office-based (WFH Fridays)

\n \n

\n Fox Talent is partnered with a boutique experiential agency in Dubai to appoint its first permanent Creative Director. Our client is a creative agency specialising in experiential marketing and events. They handle the full lifecycle of a brand experience: concept and creative development, build, on-ground execution and guest experience. Creative, Production and talent work as one integrated team. Their clients include some of the world's most recognisable luxury and lifestyle brands, as well as major regional institutions. They have offices across the GCC and are growing quickly. They have solid foundations and real momentum, but still think and move like a start-up. Their model is deliberate: fewer clients, deeper relationships and repeat work. They see themselves as an extension of their clients' teams, not just a supplier.\n

\n\n

This Exciting Role

\n This is a defining hire. Until now the agency has worked with freelance creative direction. It now needs a permanent, senior creative leader in-house: someone who is in the room for client briefings, invested in the agency's direction and building something for the long term. As Creative Director, you'll set the creative standard for every concept, deck and experience the agency delivers. You'll lead a growing team of designers, work closely with Client Services and Production every day, and raise the bar on what's possible. This isn't a support or finishing role. It's for someone who leads from the front creatively.\n

\n\n

What the job entails, and the impact you'll make:

Creative Leadership & Concepting

Lead the agency's creative vision and build a distinct, recognisable point of view across all output
Generate the big idea that anchors a pitch, excites a client and gives production something to build towards
Develop guest journeys and experience narratives, thinking spatially, emotionally and logistically
Oversee and author compelling, presentation-ready creative decks
Make sure output is exceptional, on-brand and grounded in what can actually be delivered

\n \n

Design & Craft

Bring hands-on design capability, with proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
Work confidently across 2D and 3D, with a background in either and a working knowledge of both
Use AI tools intelligently to speed up ideation, visualisation and presentation production
Bring strong visual taste and directorial instinct to every project, whatever its size

\n \n

Client & Pitch

Lead in client briefings: listen well, ask the right questions and turn ambition into creative direction
Lead the creative narrative in pitches with clarity and conviction
Become a trusted creative partner that clients want in the room early
Support new business through strong creative thinking

\n \n

Collaboration & Production

Work with Client Services and Production to make sure ideas are feasible, budgeted and executable
Brief and direct an off-site 3D design team
Understand production realities (timelines, materials, logistics) well enough to design within them

\n \n

Team & Agency Development

Lead, mentor and develop the in-house creative team
Grow the creative function by identifying talent, building process and raising capability
Bring a network of creative collaborators and specialists
Help define the agency's creative niche and positioning

\n\n

What our client needs:

Significant senior experience in experiential, events or brand experience agencies
A proven track record of leading creative from concept through to delivered experience
Strong design foundations in 2D or 3D, with the ability to art direct across both
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and comfort using AI tools
Exceptional presentation skills
A strategic mind that's comfortable with both the big idea and the detail
Experience leading or mentoring a creative team
A network of trusted creative collaborators
Genuine excitement about building something, not just maintaining it
A collaborative, grounded and commercially aware approach

\n \n

\n This is a rare chance to shape the creative identity of an ambitious independent agency at exactly the right moment. There's no unnecessary hierarchy and no politics, just a team of people who care about the work and show up for each other.\n
