Akcelo is an independent, award-winning creative agency founded in Sydney, Australia in 2019. When it was time to expand, we chose to open up our North American office in Vancouver (not Toronto) in 2021. In just over 6 years, our team has grown to 200 people globally, working collaboratively across Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia. We build brands for the experience era - creating unique, end-to-end experiences that connect across the customer journey. Our integrated in-house capabilities span strategy, creative, design, content, technology, and activation.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced, conceptual Senior Art Director to join a growing creative team in Vancouver. A creative who wants to build their book by working on globally recognized brands, while helping build Akcelo’s Northern office. An AD who wants to be an integral part of a (for now) small creative team, and help grow it. Someone who can come up with exciting, strategically-rooted ideas from a strong insight. A creative who wants to shape those ideas, visualize them, give them their own look and feel while keeping them rooted to a brand’s identity. A collaborator who wants to see their ideas through to the finish, but see them improved upon by directors, editors, illustrators, designers and creatives of all kinds.
We want someone who pushes for better, brings bold thinking, collaborates across disciplines, owns their work, believes in their ideas and wants to create iconic work for iconic brands in every medium.
