Toronto, Ontario, Canada Cheil KSA Full time

About Us
Born from a technology and innovation company, we were raised to move fast and adapt to the pace of change our industry faces today. At our core, we turn complex problems into human, desirable, and culturally iconic campaigns and experiences.

We have a deep culture of boundary-pushing creativity, crafting ideas and content that stand out in cluttered markets, resonate with consumers, across a myriad of (emerging) touchpoints.

Cheil Toronto primarily serves as the lead agency for all Samsung projects in Canada and is located steps from their office in Mississauga, Ontario.

We're a platform-agnostic team of over 50 specialists. From engineer–storytellers, creative specialists, to data–designers, our hybrid talents turn emerging technologies into tangible stories that bring us closer to the future. Relentlessly exploring new ways brands can connect with the audiences that matter most to them.

And that brings us to you… or rather you to us. Pushing boundaries and traditional advertising requires a curious mind undeterred by the never-been-done. We need a thinker and doer eager to explore new ways to connect with consumers.

About The Role
The Creative Director sits at the heart of Cheil's creative output, responsible for driving creative excellence across the agency. You'll lead and grow a team of writers, art directors and designers, ensuring that our work not only meets clients' needs but pushes for originality, cultural resonance, and high craftsmanship. You will partner with Strategy, Production, and Client Leadership to shape work that is bold, strategically grounded, beautifully executed, and scalable.
