The role

At We Are Social Madrid, we are looking for an Art Director to join one of our key accounts within the agency. We are not looking for a traditional Art Direction profile that only designs key visuals in Photoshop, but someone who lives and thinks in social.

We are looking for a person with solid training and instinct in Art Direction, but who understands that creativity today is built vertically and in real time. We need a person who combines strategic thinking to understand a brand's visual narrative, and at the same time, hands-on execution capacity to film, edit, and give an impeccable visual finish to ideas.

What you'll do

  • Create fresh, original, and 100% native concepts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts that spark conversation and connect with the audience.
  • Lose your inhibitions, grab a phone or camera, go out into the street, define the framing, light, and aesthetic to capture visual resources, vox pops, or surveys with careful and professional aesthetic direction.
  • Beyond video, you will be responsible for the graphic rollout of campaigns. From the ideation of key visuals and the design of carousels, to the meticulous care of typography, color, and layout, ensuring that every pixel breathes the brand identity.
  • Write or supervise scripts, direct (or star in) videos, and edit the final content using tools like Premiere, Adobe Suite, or CapCut, applying the perfect visual rhythm for each platform.
  • Stay up to date with algorithm changes, emerging aesthetics, visual formats, and trending audios to apply organic opportunities to the client's strategy.
  • Work side by side with the Accounts, Research & Insights, and Strategy teams to ensure that the art direction and creative ideas respond to business objectives and elevate the brand image.

What are we looking for?

  • Consolidated training or background in Art Direction.
  • Ability to provide an elevated look & feel to content without losing the freshness and speed demanded by social media.
  • At least 3 years in an Art Direction role or similar visual content creation, preferably in a creative agency or brand.
  • Fluent handling of the Adobe ecosystem (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). Knowledge of animation will be valued.
  • Ability to structure ideas, write visual scripts, and adapt texts or copy to accompany the content.
  • Natural instinct to detect visual trends on social media and apply them organically.
  • High level of English.
  • Ability to prioritize tasks and manage deliverables in dynamic environments.
  • Desirable: Previous experience or a strong affinity for the entertainment, film, series, or pop culture sector.
