Art Director
Bullfrog is an awarded independent creative business based in Melbourne. We partner with some of Australia's most recognised brands and emerging businesses, navigating new opportunities, collaborating seamlessly, and crafting with agility to make a disproportionate leap to where they want to be.
We're looking for an innovative, culturally tuned-in, and highly skilled Art Director to help us do just that. You'll concept and craft ideas that create real traction in culture and in people's lives. Whether you're reimagining how a brand shows up online, directing a campaign film, or shaping a scroll-stopping piece of content, your work will spark connection and create traction.
A DAY IN THE LIFE:
* Drive the visual direction for client projects and ensure creative excellence across all outputs.
* Team up with designers, writers, and strategists to build campaigns and experiences that perform.
* Respond to briefs with original, culturally relevant thinking that goes beyond expected solutions.
* Present creative work to clients, clearly articulating the rationale behind your approach.
* Interpret strategic and community insights into compelling, brand-building creative ideas.
* Stay tapped into what's happening in culture and communities – with an instinct of when to follow trends, and when to break them.
* Collaborate closely with producers and project leads to ensure work is delivered on time, on budget, and on point.
ROLE REQUIREMENTS:
* 4+ years' experience in creative roles across integrated, digital, and socially-led campaigns.
* A strong portfolio that demonstrates your ability to deliver conceptually strong and visually crafted work.
* Exceptional art direction and design sensibility, with great taste and attention to detail.
* Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and other relevant design tools.
* Comfortable directing shoots and working across film, motion, digital and static formats.
* A hands-on creative who thrives in collaboration and brings positive energy to the team.
* A knack for shaping powerful creative even when the brief is still being defined.
* Experience in activations or physical brand experiences is a bonus.
BEING A PART OF OUR TEAM:
* We value great people doing great work.
* We believe in respect, bravery, teamwork, pride, and authenticity.
