Art Director

CAMDEN OFFICE MONTREAL


The role

Joining Camden's Montreal creative team means more than executing. It means thinking. We're looking for someone obsessed with craft, yes, but more importantly, someone who understands that the difference between a good ad and a great one is the idea.
Your day-to-day? Challenging briefs, digging into insights, and pushing concepts until you find that spark that makes people say "wish I'd done that." This isn't a role for someone who needs a creative roadmap handed to them. It's a role for someone who loves drawing it, with boldness and relevance.

What you'll do
  • Ideation & Concepting. Develop strong, original advertising concepts for 360 campaigns (video, OOH, digital, social).
  • Art Direction & Craft. Build high-calibre visual worlds and ensure impeccable craft in service of the idea, from sketch to final delivery.

  • Branding & Design. Build complete brand identities, from typographic research to rigorous brand guidelines.

  • Creative Partnership. Work closely with copywriters so image and word push each other forward.

  • Production Supervision. Provide art direction on video/photo shoots to ensure fidelity to the concept.

  • Presentation. Articulate and defend your ideas with clarity and conviction, both internally and in client presentations or pitches.

  • Culture & AI. Feed the team with cultural references and explore AI tools to elevate creative output.

What You Bring

  • Experience. Minimum 5 years in an advertising agency (non-negotiable).
  • Creative Culture. Solid knowledge of advertising from here and abroad, with insatiable curiosity for trends and social insights.

  • Obsession for Relevance. The ability to challenge the status quo in pursuit of excellence.

  • Technical Mastery. Expert command of the Adobe suite, plus a genuine interest in AI tools as creative levers.

  • People Skills. Positive attitude, solid team spirit, and zero misplaced ego.

  • Bilingualism. Strong command of both French and English, written and spoken.
