Senior Designer / Art Director
Who We Are
POPPER Asia is an independent creative experience agency that helps brands turn strategy into meaningful participation across physical, digital and retail spaces. We combine brand strategy, creative direction, experience design, content and technology to create work people choose to engage with - and that clients can measure.
Job Description
We are looking for a senior creative who can move comfortably between concept, craft and leadership. You will shape visual directions for campaigns, activations and brand experiences, lead a small design team, and work closely with strategy, account service, 3D, production and content partners to turn briefs into strong, coherent creative work. This is a hands-on role: you should be able to set the bar, explain the thinking, guide others and still design when the work needs you.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Creative direction & craft
路聽 Translate briefs and strategic thinking into clear, compelling visual territories and design systems.
路聽 Lead concept development across campaigns, activations, retail, social, content, identity and selected digital touchpoints.
路聽 Set and maintain the visual standard from first concept through client presentation and final production.
路聽 Know when to simplify, when to push, and how to make work feel distinctive rather than merely polished.
Client & cross-functional collaboration
路聽 Present and defend creative thinking clearly to internal teams and clients.
路聽 Work closely with strategy, accounts, 3D, video, production and vendors so ideas remain coherent from deck to delivery.
路聽 Understand experience design: how the audience moves through a space, interaction or campaign – not just how each asset looks.
Team leadership
路聽 Manage and mentor a small team of designers, freelancers and specialist partners.
路聽 Allocate work, review output, give useful creative direction and keep quality high across simultaneous projects.
路聽 Build confidence and judgement in junior designers rather than simply correcting layouts yourself.
路聽 Help create a collaborative culture with clear standards, accountability and room for experimentation.
AI-enabled creative practice
路聽 Use AI tools thoughtfully for research, visual exploration, rapid prototyping and presentation development where they improve the work.
路聽 Guide the team on responsible use of generative tools while protecting brand coherence, originality and craft.
路聽 Stay curious about emerging creative technology without treating technology as the idea itself.
