Senior Creative Team Duo

This role is part of our Brand and Advertising team based in Amsterdam. Our team is a vibrant mix of talents, ranging from Brand Strategists, Creatives, and Influencer Marketers to Account managers, Producers, and Video editors. As a creative digital marketing agency, we mix old-fashioned creative storytelling with the best of what today’s technology has to offer to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like Bol.com and Philips to name a few.

JOB PURPOSE

You and your teammate are a senior creative duo with a proven track record, ideally complemented by a few prestigious awards. Whether you specialize in art and copy, design, or a hybrid approach, your role is to deliver digital-first advertising campaigns for international and global clients across all channels.

You are a proactive and digitally savvy creative, ready to generate original ideas that help our clients stay ahead. Your concepts will be rooted in culture—focused on building brands rather than just adding to the noise.

You will be responsible for creating campaigns for a range of well-known clients in the Dutch market, with a primary focus on bol.com, as well as other local and international brands like Philips, Grolsch, Univé, Audi, and Lotus.

Our creative department is evolving and comprises a mix of talented creatives and specialists in media, social, and technology, all working together to showcase the best DEPT has to offer. You’ll bring at least 5 years of agency experience and the ability to sell your ideas with flair, backing them up with strategic insights, trends, and data to create memorable advertising.
