Liquid Agency is recognized the world over as a progressive thought leader in the field of branding, culture, and experience. We are fortunate to work with some of the most innovative clients of our time. Join us so you can do the best work of your career!



Liquid Agency is looking for a bold, visionary, Creative Director to lead and elevate the creative expression of brands to create category leadership.

If you thrive at the intersection of brand, business, design, and creativity, leading teams, shaping breakthrough ideas, and translating strategy into meaningful, high-impact experiences, we want to meet you! 


As a Creative Director, you will own the creative vision across key assigned client accounts. You’ll ensure that every idea, every executing, and every experience aligns with strategy, exceeds expectations, and drives measurable business impact. You’ll partner closely with Strategy, Client Services, and Program Management, to shape briefs, guide teams, and deliver work that builds belief and fuels growth.


You are both an inspiring leader and a decisive operator-able to push creative boundaries while maintaining accountability to scope, timelines, and outcomes. You bring gravitas in the room, clarity in storytelling, and the ability to turn a strong idea into a compelling narrative that resonates with clients and audiences alike.


This role requires a balance of creative excellence, strategic thinking, and business acumen-along with a passion for developing teams and building lasting client partnerships.


What you’ll do:

You will serve as the creative lead across client accounts, ensuring all work is grounded in strategy and aligned to the brief

You will partner with Strategy to shape clear, inspiring briefs and lead concept development across brand, digital, and campaign work

You will guide teams through execution, aligning with Client Services and Program Management to ensure timelines, budgets, and quality outcomes 

You will drive account growth by identifying new opportunities, strengthening client relationships, and contributing to business development

You will mentor and develop creative talent while fostering strong, collaborative partnerships across teams


What you’ll bring:

10+ years of senior creative leadership experience, ideally within an agency or consulting environment

A strong conceptual foundation, with a portfolio that demonstrates beautiful & thoughtful campaign thinking, brand design, experience design, and big ideas brought to life across digital and integrated platforms

A strong background in B to B across niche industries, showing compelling conceptual chops that deliver direct business value as well as consistent creative and experiential excellence. (B to C work experience is of secondary importance.)

Proven ability to sell and deliver high-impact creative work that drives business results while being on-strategy.

Strong business acumen, including comfort managing scope, budgets, and profitability

Established and demonstrable fluency and skills with a broad range of AI tools, because you already have embraced the benefits of human-first AI-powered creativity

Proven enthusiasm to use modern collaborative creative tools like Figma & Miro. Figma base-level fluency is especially important for the ease of collaboration that ladders directly up into modern application of creative thought applied to experience.

Exceptional presentation and storytelling skills, with experience engaging senior and executive-level clients
