Job Description

VIBRANT Marketing is looking for a dynamic, agile, and visionary Associate Creative Director to join our growing creative powerhouse. If you live and breathe experiential marketing, love to ideate, create, stage, and tell unforgettable brand stories, and want to work on some of the most exciting and forward-thinking brands across Canada and the USA — this is your stage.

Reporting directly to the Vice President, Creative & Strategy, this role is a unique opportunity to drive strategic storytelling, hands-on creation, and powerful brand experiences — all while collaborating with a national creative team across Toronto and Montreal.

In This Role, You Will:

• Own the full creative process — from strategic ideation to staging and storytelling to visual execution.
• Develop big ideas with strong narrative arcs rooted in strategic insight and outcome-driven thinking.
• Craft and deliver compelling client presentations that inspire, persuade, and ignite action.
• Contribute actively to art direction and producing visuals when needed — being as comfortable with layout and execution as you are with big-picture thinking.
• Lead and energize creative ideation sessions with internal teams, fostering a spirit of bold collaboration.
• Translate strategy and briefs into high-impact creative campaigns across live experiences, digital, social, content, and more.
• Manage your time and priorities with grace and agility in a fast-moving environment.
• Collaborate closely with our Strategy, Accounts, and Production teams to bring integrated campaigns to market.
• Stay at the forefront of creative and experiential trends, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Who You Are

• A charismatic creative leader who loves to collaborate, create, and adapt.
• A versatile thinker and doer: you can ideate big, design smart, and art direct with precision.
• A strategic storyteller who can build excitement around an idea — both internally and with clients.
• A strong presenter, able to stage and bring to life your ideas with captivating storytelling techniques.
• Deeply passionate about experiential marketing and the power of creating real-world brand moments.
• Experienced in leading client-facing presentations and guiding cross-disciplinary teams with energy and vision.
• Comfortable working under pressure in a fast-paced, high-demand environment — you stay focused, agile, and positive even when the pace picks up.
• A creative soul who thrives in a fast-moving environment and knows how to balance inspiration with execution.

What You Bring

• A proven track record of strategic creative leadership — with a portfolio showcasing concepting, storytelling, art direction, and design across integrated campaigns.
• Strong background in experiential marketing and integrated brand campaigns.
• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills — both written and verbal.
• Hands-on experience in art direction and visual production, ready to step in when needed to help bring ideas to life.
• Deep understanding of strategic outcomes and how to align creative ideas with client objectives (KOIs and KPIs).
• A passion for collaboration, innovation, and working as part of a national creative team that shares ideas across cities.

Why VIBRANT

• Work with some of the most exciting brands across Canada and the USA.
• Join a national creative team with hubs in Toronto and Montreal, bringing diverse perspectives together.
• Thrive in a collaborative, inclusive environment where creativity and innovation are celebrated.
• Enjoy a competitive salary and benefits package, plus professional development opportunities.
• Be part of a team that loves building unforgettable brand experiences and pushing creative boundaries.
