Who We Are Hi! We’re AntiSocial, a social-first digital marketing agency powered by people who love to create. Our work spans industries and disciplines, from conceptual campaigns and strategic media plans to creator partnerships, influencer strategies, and content production for leading brands around the world. As part of the Thinkingbox family, we bring creativity, collaboration, and innovation to everything we do. At AntiSocial, you’ll join a diverse and talented team that delivers bold campaigns and innovative solutions for some of the world’s top brands. Our culture is one of collaboration, creativity, and connection. Whether it’s brainstorming with colleagues, hanging out with our office dogs, or enjoying monthly events, we keep our work environment vibrant, inclusive, and fun.
The Opportunity We are looking for an Executive Creative Director (ECD) to lead the creative vision of AntiSocial. As Executive Creative Director, you’ll be the senior creative leader for AntiSocial, responsible for setting the creative standard and ensuring our work is ambitious, culturally relevant, strategically sharp, and built for the way people actually consume content. You’ll lead and inspire our creative team, partner closely with Strategy, Accounts, Social, Production, and senior leadership, and play a key role in both our existing client relationships and new business. This role requires someone who understands big brand ideas but is equally passionate about social. You know that great creative today can be a major integrated campaign, a TikTok idea, a creator collaboration, a reactive cultural moment, or an always-on content platform - and you know how to build teams that can deliver across all of it.
