Overview
Freelance Creative Content Director – Independent Creative Agency Jobs in London, England, United Kingdom at RC&A
Immediate Start | 3-Month Initial Booking | Hybrid | Outside IR35 | To £450 per day DOE
An independent, fast-growth creative agency is looking for a copy-led Creative Director to help shape and deliver outstanding work across its expanding client portfolio, including global healthcare and technology brands.
This isn't a traditional Creative Director role.
They're looking for someone who has come up through the craft of writing and storytelling before progressing into creative leadership. Someone who still loves being close to the work. A senior creative who enjoys shaping ideas, refining copy, building narratives and bringing clarity to complex briefs.
Importantly, this role is rooted in content as much as campaigns.
The ideal candidate will have built their career within content-led, integrated environments rather than traditional advertising agencies alone. They'll understand how ideas need to flex across ecosystems — from campaign platforms and films to social content, thought leadership, toolkits and always-on communications.
They'll thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy the energy that comes with a growing business and know how to maintain high creative standards whilst juggling multiple workstreams.
What you'll be doing:
• Leading creative development from brief through to delivery across a diverse portfolio of brands.
• Developing integrated ideas spanning content, social, film, digital and broader campaign activity.
• Writing and refining scripts, messaging frameworks, presentations and key creative narratives.
• Partnering with Strategy to turn insight into compelling creative solutions.
• Presenting and selling ideas to senior stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
• Collaborating closely with Creative, Account and Production teams to bring ideas to life.
• Mentoring and supporting other creatives whilst remaining actively involved in the work itself.
• Championing exceptional standards of craft across every output.
What they're looking for:
• Significant experience as a copy-led Creative Director within content, integrated or creative agencies.
• A career that started in writing and storytelling, with a portfolio demonstrating both conceptual thinking and exceptional craft.
• Strong experience developing integrated, content-rich work across multiple channels.
• Experience working with healthcare, technology or similarly complex global brands.
• Someone who is comfortable operating at pace without compromising quality.
• Excellent presentation skills and the confidence to influence senior clients.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach and genuine passion for making the work better.
