At Leo's we believe creativity should transform—not just brands, but the way people feel, think, and act.

As a Conceptual Designer, you will develop innovative, impactful, omni-channel design solutions and help drive some of the agency’s most creatively ambitious clients/brands. You are curious and immersed in culture and love to use your creative powers to solve human problems.

You will support, nurture and help drive innovative and world class creative campaigns, ensuring design solutions are effective and ideas are original. You will be given opportunities to partner with the best clients in Australia and make some of the best work of your career.

Our agency is filled with smart, kind people who are passionate about the work and genuinely care about each other. We have industry-leading flexibility and a culture we’re famous for. There are endless opportunities for growth in both Leo's and Publicis Groupe more broadly, with access to global opportunities and L&D programs.

• A collaborative spirit with a positive, can-do attitude and a cool head under pressure.

What you can expect from us:

Partner with the best clients in Australia: ANZ Banking, Destination NSW, Suncorp, Bundaberg Rum, Superloop, HBF, Johnnie Walker, Red Rooster and Vitasoy to name a few.

Make the best work of your career: We believe in the power of creativity to transform human behaviour. Each one of us is held accountable for contributing to ideas of the highest standard in the world. And we’re recognized for it. More recently we were the 2023 Spikes Asia Network of the Year, and won the Cannes Lion Innovation Grand Prix for our work with Suncorp in 2022.

Work with the best people: If you’ve ever met a Burnetter you’ll know we stand apart. Our agency is filled with smart, kind people who are passionate about the work and who genuinely care about each other.
