Do you see stories where others see blank space? Are you the kind of creative who can take a brand’s idea and make it not just seen, but felt?

We’re hiring on behalf of a leading PR and Publications company in Dubai that shapes brand narratives across lifestyle, fashion, luxury, and corporate sectors. From high-impact campaigns to print editorials and digital storytelling, their work doesn’t just communicate - it captivates.

Now, they’re looking for an Art Director - someone who can turn strategy into stunning visual experiences and lead creative execution across design, digital, and print. This isn’t just about layouts and color palettes. It’s about storytelling - visually, powerfully, and with purpose.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re a concept-driven Art Director who lives and breathes design craft. You think in compositions, typography, and textures - but you also understand audience, message, and brand voice. Whether it’s a magazine cover, social campaign, or brand identity, you know how to weave creativity with clarity.

• 5–7 years of experience in art direction or senior design roles within PR, publishing, advertising, or communications agencies.
• A portfolio that speaks for itself - strong editorial sensibility, brand campaigns, and multi-platform design execution.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro).
• Experience leading design projects end-to-end - from concept development to production and delivery.
• Sharp attention to detail and a passion for visual storytelling that connects.
• Strong collaboration skills - comfortable working closely with copywriters, strategists, account managers, and PR teams.
• Up-to-date on design trends, social media formats, and brand aesthetics.

Your Mission

• Lead the visual direction for campaigns, publications, and digital assets — ensuring consistent storytelling and brand expression.
• Conceptualize and execute creative ideas for PR campaigns, editorials, and marketing materials that cut through noise and command attention.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with PR, editorial, and content teams to bring brand stories to life across print, digital, and social platforms.
• Elevate visual standards — guide and mentor junior designers, review creative work, and maintain design excellence across deliverables.
• Own production quality — oversee photo shoots, layouts, and final artwork, ensuring each output aligns with brand strategy and creative intent.
• Push creative boundaries while balancing client expectations, timelines, and objectives.

What’s In It For You

• Creative ownership: Lead the look, feel, and flow of campaigns that shape public perception.
• Dynamic environment: Work with cross-industry clients — from luxury brands to corporate innovators — across editorial, digital, and PR channels.
• Growth and influence: Collaborate with top-tier creative and communications professionals, shaping the visual identity of the brands you represent.
• Culture that inspires: Join a team where creativity, collaboration, and curiosity are the everyday language.

Why This Role

If you’ve ever wanted to merge design, storytelling, and influence, this is where it happens. You’ll be at the heart of where visuals meet voice, crafting work that doesn’t just look beautiful, but moves people.

Next Steps

If this sounds like you - imaginative, detail-obsessed, and ready to lead visual storytelling in one of Dubai’s most dynamic PR and publications environments - we’d love to see your work.
