Strategy Director (Creative)

About Us

We are Dentsu Creative.

We believe brands aren’t built like they used to be, and audiences aren’t either. Three forces are driving this change.

First, most CMOs and CEOs want to acquire more customers with less investment. Second, great brand ads don’t create a great brand experience. Finally, too much of the money being spent by marketers is easily ignored as attention is harder to grasp than ever.

We believe you can’t grow a brand if people don’t notice what you create. People don’t see the expected. People don’t see the predictable. The familiar is too often forgotten. Which is why we create The Never Before.

The Never Before is the most elusive of ideas. The one you never saw coming, but you will never forget. The kind that turns the expected on its head. The Never Before doesn’t have a template. There are no guidelines. It will make you nervous, good nervous. But if it gets made, it will make everyone else jealous. Yes, people will have ‘concerns’. But that’s how you know you’re close. Because work like this has never been done before.
