At AKQA (part of WPP), we believe in the imaginative application of art and science to create a better future. With an entrepreneurial and collaborative approach, we design adaptive ideas, services, and experiences that capture the imagination and deliver meaningful impact.

Creatives at AKQA fuse artistry and craftsmanship with strategic insight to build brands, products, campaigns, and experiences that earn attention and live in culture. They are storytellers and makers, working across disciplines to unlock new value for our clients.

As a Senior Creative Team member in MENA, you will play an essential role in the strategy, conception, and execution of ideas spanning brand, experience, product, and innovation. Together, you will combine words and visuals into one cohesive creative system, driving work that is conceptually strong, beautifully crafted, and culturally relevant.

You will operate as a unit: thinking together, making together, and pushing each other to produce work that neither discipline could achieve alone.

At AKQA, you will be surrounded by some of the brightest minds across design, technology, and creativity, with access to world-class thinking and an environment that rewards ambition, ownership, and craft.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

• Lead with creative hunger. Drive ideas from first spark to final execution with the energy of makers and the accountability of owners. Push for work that is braver, sharper, and built to matter.
• Think as one system. Unify art direction and writing into a single idea. No handovers, no silos, every output should feel like one voice expressed through multiple forms.
• Craft with obsession. Words, visuals, motion, interaction; every detail matters. Whether it's a line, a layout, a script, or a prototype, the work should feel precise, intentional, and world-class.
• Tell stories that live everywhere. Shape narratives that translate across film, social, product, experience, and PR. Understand how ideas behave within local, regional, and global cultures.
• Think beyond the ad. Create ideas that exist as acts, products, services, platforms, and content ecosystems. Use technology, AI, and innovation as creative tools, not decoration.
• Make ideas PR-able by design. Build work that earns attention. Ideas should be culturally relevant, conversation-worthy, and designed to travel.
• Own the process end-to-end. From early concept to production and launch, drive the work through every stage. Know when to craft hands-on and when to lead from altitude.
• Collaborate like modern creatives. Work fluidly with strategists, designers, technologists, producers, and the wider AKQA network. Seek tension that sharpens the work, not comfort that softens it.
• Elevate the room. Bring energy, references, and perspective that push the work forward. Mentor others, challenge thinking, and raise the creative standard around you.
• Challenge the brief, intelligently. Ask better questions. Find the tension. Push for the version of the work that will actually move people and create impact.
• Present with clarity and conviction. Tell the story behind the work in a way that builds belief. Make clients feel the ambition, not just understand it.
• Guard the quality. Be accountable for everything that leaves the studio. Ensure every output reflects AKQA's global standard and your own creative integrity.
  
  

QUALITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS

• 5+ years of relevant creative agency or brand side experience with large global projects/clients
• A portfolio with crafted and globally-recognised brand, campaign and experience work, with case studies of work that had a direct impact on the client's business.
• You have a portfolio that demonstrates outstanding thinking and craft across both art direction and writing, showing ideas that are conceptually strong and beautifully executed.
• You have proven success working as part of a creative team within multidisciplinary environments, delivering work across brand, campaign, product, and experience.
• You are confident presenting ideas, both visually and verbally, with clarity and impact.
• You bring a broad and deep cultural perspective, with an instinct for what resonates and travels.
• You are driven to break boundaries and create work that stands at the highest level globally.
