Creative Director

About the Role

As Creative Director, you own how Suspicious Antwerp shows up both online and offline. You turn our CEO's vision into a clear creative direction and make sure it runs through everything we put out: the concepts, the visuals, the feed, the campaigns. You decide what we say, how we look, and how it feels, and you keep that consistent across every channel.

This is a hands-on leadership role, not a sit-back-and-delegate one. You set the creative bar and lead the team that hits it, but on the days that matter you're in it yourself: shaping concepts, shooting, editing, writing. You think in strategy and you build with your hands, and you're the link between where the brand wants to go and what people actually see.

What you'll be doing

• Translate the CEO's vision into a clear creative direction across all our channels (both online & offline)

• Own our online presence: concepts, visuals, feed, and campaigns, and how the brand feels everywhere

• Lead and grow a young marketing team, and make sure the best idea always wins

• Jump in hands-on when it counts: concepts, shoots, edits, captions

• Set and protect the creative bar in everything we put out

• Keep creative and production on schedule with smart processes and planning

• Work closely with operations, partnerships, and talent to make campaigns happen

• What you bring
  Proven experience leading creative at a high level, either several years in a creative or marketing role, or a comparable Creative Director position before

• A real point of view on brand and creative, and the work to prove it (portfolio)

• Both sides of the brain: you set strategy and you execute it yourself, equally strong

• Strong social instincts. You know what makes an audience grow and why

• Experience leading a team and getting more out of people

• Native-level English.

• You understand the Suspicious Antwerp aesthetic down to the detail, and you keep raising the bar for it

Nice to Have, no dealbreaker ;)

• Hands-on creative skills: photo, video, edit, design

• An existing network of creators, photographers, and production partners

• Experience directing shoots and campaigns on set

• Experience with influencer collabs and brand activations
