About the Role

At Ogilvy Health, Group Creative Directors bring all their experience and skill to positively influence a broader audience. They are responsible for leading more business within the agency and they volunteer to step-out from their assigned business to help wherever their expertise is needed.

Their influence and ability to inspire pulses throughout the broader team, leading by example and generously helping others (regardless of discipline) to achieve their full potential.

Beyond the ability to effectively “sell” or romance ideas these agency leaders have a commanding presence built on respect and the clarity and power of their communication mastery. They leverage their personal communication style and story-telling skills to “wow the room”.

All the qualities exhibited as CD are amplified at the GCD level. Their heightened sense of responsibility for creative and financial is key for success.
