Job Description
At AKQA, we believe beauty has purpose. It captures attention, sparks emotion, and creates lasting connections between brands and people.
We are seeking a Senior Art Director who obsesses over craft and finds inspiration everywhere: cinema, photography, painting, video games, or design. Someone who lingers on light, framing, and composition, and who is endlessly curious about the makers behind the work that moves us.
A maker at heart, you thrive on shaping ideas into striking realities. From sketchbook to AI, pitch to production, you bring imagination into form. You believe beauty matters—whether in a single social post or a cinematic brand film—because beauty moves people.
As part of the Copenhagen studio, you’ll collaborate with copywriters, designers, and technologists to create meaningful, culturally relevant work that resonates.
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Transform strategic insights into compelling visual ideas.
- Collaborate across disciplines to shape concepts into finished executions.
- Drive the look, feel, and craft of projects, ensuring quality at every stage.
- Contribute to new business pitches and define the creative vision.
- Experiment with new mediums and tools, including AI, to expand creative possibilities.
QUALITIES & CHARACTERISTICS
- A portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual thinking and craft excellence.
- Proven experience turning ideas into beautiful, finished work.
- Curiosity that spans across mediums, cultures, and technologies.
- Strong communication skills in English (Danish a plus, not required).
- Collaborative and open, generous with ideas and feedback.
- Ambition to learn, experiment, and refine continuously.
