Senior Art Director

Company description

"What helps people, helps business."

This quote from Leo Burnett succinctly captures what our HumanKind philosophy is all about: we build creative ideas on people's concrete needs as well as their profound desires. And this is more relevant today than ever before in a world shaped by constant change, evolving communication patterns, and ever-new demands on the relationships between people and brands.

This "People Centricity" is at the core of our working method and inextricably linked to our company culture. We tell stories that go beyond conventional advertising, inspire, and sustainably shape a brand's community – thus ensuring its cultural relevance now and in the future. And that's exactly why we are looking for people with curiosity, empathy, passion, and a will to create.

Leo Germany is a global creative agency and part of the Publicis Groupe, one of the world's leading communication service providers.
