The PITCH
We are creators, creative industry rogues, and SuperBowl stars. We are not just on the internet; we are creating the stuff the internet wants to see. We're insane for what we do and the people we do it with. We move so fast and make so much good shit that we can't even keep up with ourselves. So, we need more folks just like us, the unconventional, less-obvious, unseasoned (or over seasoned ) creative pros. But above all - passionate makers and culture shakers.

Want in? We love subversive artists, obsessive makers, dedicated creators and we don't care if you're a baby fresh to the workforce or working on your third act. What's your hustle? Documentarian? DJ? Sports junkie? Fashionista? Blogger? Vlogger? Retired logger? Are you an Insta-feind? An unabashed Tik Tokker or Youtuber? Or both? We're down with all of that. Just as long as you love making content and are really good at it.

This is a full time role based in Malaysia with a reporting role to the Country Manager in Malaysia.

Are you based in Malaysia? Geeking the content religiously in the Malaysian market? Fluent in Malay? Oh well, we could be meant to be ---

We're looking for a Creative Director who lives and breathes beauty, lifestyle, and social storytelling.

You're not just a creative thinker—you're a creator. Your portfolio isn't a PDF; it's living and breathing on social. You've built audiences, driven engagement, and turned cultural insights into breakthrough creative work. If your social handles can win you an interview, you're already one foot in.

1. Lead, Make, Repeat: You're not just here to direct; you're in the trenches, making daily. You lead by getting your hands dirty—concepting, writing, designing, and even editing when needed. You move fast, iterate, and set the creative pace for the team.
2. Editor-in-Chief Mindset: You understand people, what they care about, and what's happening in the culture of beauty and lifestyle. You don't just follow trends—you predict, shape, and react to them in real time.
3. Social Performance Obsessed: You don't just make creative—you study how it performs, why it works (or doesn't), and turn those insights into sharper, more effective ideas.
4. Culture-First, Not Ad-First: You know that most times, the best work isn't an ad. It's a conversation, a movement, or a moment people actually care about. You have the instinct to create things that feel native, human, and worth engaging with.
5. Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with strategy, media, and production teams to ensure ideas don't just look good, but work.
6. Pitch & Present: Sell ideas to clients with confidence, backed by cultural insights and platform knowledge.

• A strong, social-native portfolio showcasing your work in beauty and lifestyle (If you don't have one, build one).
• 6+ years in an agency or brand-side creative role, with at least 2 years in a leadership position.
• Proven track record of building brand love on social.
• Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms—you know what works and why.
• Ability to concept, write, and direct with agility—whether it's a full-fledged campaign or a reactive meme.
• Experience working with production teams, creators, and influencers to bring ideas to life.
• A POV on what's next in beauty, lifestyle, and digital culture.
• Your personal or past brand work has built an audience, driven engagement, or gone viral.
• You have beauty and lifestyle experience (brand or agency side).
• You can sell an idea in 15 seconds or less.
• You have social-at-the-centre craft and aesthetics—knowing how to create for the feed, for the scroll, and for engagement, not just a polished 30-second film.
• If your socials can get you an interview, you're already ahead. Drop your handles, show us what you've got, and let's talk.

Think "lab" and not "agency". We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We're willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It's fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can't wait to meet you.

P.S Portfolio would be nice :)
