About us

We are Dragons, a global creative agency working with bold brands to build cultural relevance, connection, and long-term impact through strategy-led creativity.

About the role
We're looking for a Senior Art Director to join our creative team in Barcelona.

This role is for someone who can move seamlessly between social-first content, integrated campaigns, and brand-building creative. You'll be responsible for shaping visual ideas from concept through execution, creating work that feels culturally relevant, strategically grounded, and visually distinctive.

You'll have a strong understanding of beauty, skincare, wellness, and lifestyle brands, with a sharp eye for design, photography, motion, emerging visual trends, and contemporary culture. You're equally comfortable developing social content ecosystems, campaign platforms, launch moments, and premium brand storytelling.

What you'll do

• Develop creative concepts and visual systems across social, digital, and integrated campaigns, while supporting Creative Directors in the development of larger campaign platforms and brand initiatives.
• Lead the visual development of campaigns from concept through execution.
• Create social-first ideas, content series, and platform-native creative.
• Partner closely with Copywriters, Strategists, Designers, Motion Artists, and Client teams.
• Translate brand strategies, product stories, and consumer insights into compelling visual narratives.
• Art direct photography, video, motion, CGI, creator content, and production outputs.
• Contribute to both always-on content ecosystems and larger campaign initiatives.
• Support creative development across paid, owned, earned, and OOH channels.
• Stay connected to emerging cultural movements, visual trends, creators, and consumer behaviors.

What we're looking for

• 5–8 years of experience in a creative agency or brand environment.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both campaign thinking and social-first creative excellence.
• Experience in beauty, skincare, wellness, lifestyle, or adjacent categories.
• Strong conceptual thinker with exceptional visual taste and craft.
• Ability to move comfortably between fast-turnaround social content and larger brand campaigns.
• Deep understanding of design, photography, motion, content creation, and visual storytelling.
• Experience collaborating with production, creators, photographers, directors, and post-production teams.
• Comfortable presenting ideas internally and to clients.
• Strong understanding of digital ecosystems and contemporary consumer behavior.
• Highly connected to contemporary culture, visual trends, creators, digital platforms, and emerging creative formats.
• Strong understanding of what makes creative work feel relevant, modern, and culturally resonant today.
• Bonus: experience with OOH campaigns, CGI, AI-assisted creative workflows, and creator-led content.

You'll thrive here if you...

• You combine strong creative instincts with impeccable visual taste.
• You're naturally curious and constantly looking for what's next in culture, design, content, and technology.
• You can turn a cultural insight into a compelling visual idea.
• You understand both brand building and content culture.
• You know how to make a product benefit visually irresistible.
• You're comfortable moving between a social content shoot, a campaign presentation, and a production review in the same day.
• You enjoy collaborating across disciplines and elevating the work through partnership.
• You care as much about the idea as you do about the craft behind it.
• You can create work that feels as relevant in a social feed as it does on a billboard.
• You believe the best creative work happens where brand, culture, and product meet.

Languages

• Fluent English proficiency (written and spoken), with the ability to confidently present and discuss creative work in English.
• Any other languages are a plus.
