Job Details
As a Creative Director at Magnopus, you will lead projects innovating through real-time engines across multiple formats including Spatial Web, VR, AR, and Mobile. You’ll act as key contact for clients across multiple projects (or maybe just one big one), developing and crafting creative briefs, managing client expectations and team feedback. You are the bridge uniting client and team providing clarity, vision and creative focus to both.
You’ll collaborate closely with talented and mostly-likable people from Production, Design, Art, and Engineering to ensure that our work as a team is everything it can be, and then some. To be successful, you must be passionate about discovering the creative possibilities in innovative technologies that don’t quite work, and unproven workflows that require enough flexibility to make sure that, while we might not find ourselves where we intended to go, we definitely end up where we need to be.
