• Use AI image and video tools to explore and produce ideas faster
• Act on feedback quickly and iterate with purpose WHO YOU ARE
• 2-3 years in art direction, design or a visual creative role at an agency, with a portfolio of real work for real clients
• Strong visual instincts (composition, type, pacing, colour, motion) and you can say why something works
• Fluent in how visuals behave on TikTok, Meta and YouTube, and you can tell authentic from try-hard
• Culturally switched on: you spot aesthetics and trends early
• You make work for performance as well as brand: great creative has to work, not just look good
