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.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

• Write Arabic that lives in culture. Craft original Arabic copy across Modern Standard Arabic and regional dialects, with a deep understanding of tone, nuance, rhythm, and cultural context. Avoid translation thinking, create work that feels native from the start.
• Be a hands-on craft obsessive. Write, refine, rewrite, and elevate. Whether it’s a brand platform, a film script, a case film, a product story, or a social headline, your craft must push the work further every time.
• Bring cultural intelligence.Inject regional insights, behaviours, and tensions into the work. Understand what people care about, how they speak, and what will move them.
• Tell stories that travel. Shape narratives that work in film, social media, experience, product, and PR, and understand how storytelling behaves in the region, in culture, and in global markets.
• Think beyond the ad. Collaborate with strategists, technologists, designers and creatives to shape ideas that live as acts, innovations, prototypes, platforms and content ecosystems, not just campaigns.
• Bring energy that lifts the room. Embrace challenges, pressure, late pivots, and wild briefs as fuel. Be the person who raises the creative temperature and pushes peers to be braver.
• Create work that earns attention. Ideas should be culturally relevant, PR-able, and built to travel, grounded in insight, engineered for conversation, and designed to make brands part of culture.
• Operate like a modern creative. Comfortable switching between AI tools, emerging tech, social formats, product thinking, long-form storytelling, and classic craft to unlock new possibilities.
• Collaborate fearlessly. Work fluidly with multidisciplinary talent across AKQA’s global network, from Ryhad to Dubai to Denmark, bringing clarity, momentum, and a creative point of view.
• Present with conviction. Clearly articulate thinking and storytelling in internal reviews, client meetings, and pitch rooms, driving alignment, belief, and excitement around the work.
