Senior Concept Creative | Copy & Art (US native speaker, on-site Hamburg)

oktopods is a multi-disciplinary digital age creative wonder house.

We merge creativity, technology, and data to create bold ideas that break through screens, pitches, and expectations.

We’re seeking a Concept Creative (Copy, Strategy, Art) — native English only (American or British)

If English isn’t your mother tongue, this isn’t your role. The nuance, rhythm, and instinct of your writing must feel as natural as breathing — because your words will define how global brands speak.

You are a concept-driven storyteller who moves between copywriting, strategy, and visual thinking with ease.

You can turn insights into bold, culture-moving ideas, the kind of thinking that wouldn’t feel out of place at Cannes Lions, not because it’s polished, but because it’s smart, human, and unforgettable.

Aufgaben

• Develop campaign concepts that connect brand strategy, storytelling, and design
• Write copy and campaign ideas at a world-class level! Sharp, human, and effortless
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with business objectives and brand identity
• Present and sell ideas internally and to clients with confidence
• Contribute to strategic discussions and refine creative briefs
• Stay ahead of cultural and creative trends, especially the kind that win hearts and awards (Cannes Lions experience is a big plus)
• Push ideas beyond the expected, toward the kind of work that gets noticed and remembered

Qualifikation

• Native English speaker (American or British) — mandatory
• Extensive experience 5+ years experience in creative or advertising agencies
• Proven background in conceptual, copy-led campaign work
• Portfolio that demonstrates storytelling, wit, and craft across platforms
• Strategic understanding of brand and communication design
• Digital fluency — social, film, experiential, and beyond
• Experience collaborating in multi-disciplinary teams
• Clear understanding of the AI tools, their territories, their weaknesses and strengths
• Production experience and understanding in both traditional and CGI environments
• If you’ve won or contributed to award-winning work (Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, etc.) even better. If not, your ideas should feel like they could.
• Strong expertise in branding, storytelling, and communication strategies
• Excellent collaboration skills, with experience working cross-functionally with internal and external stakeholders

Your Superpowers:

Strategic mind | You love the “why” behind ideas. You connect audience insight and brand purpose into work that earns attention.

Story architect | You build meaning. You can take a brand truth and craft it into a story world that feels both smart and effortless.

Visual thinker | You don’t just write, you see. Every line lives with an image, tone, and motion in your head.

Presentation powerhouse | You can command a room. Whether it’s a client pitch or an internal review, you present with clarity, confidence, and charisma. You make people see the idea before it even exists. This also means you are in total control of your decks.

Digital native | You move comfortably across platforms and know how storytelling shifts from social to manifesto.

AI-enhanced creative | You treat AI not as a shortcut but as an amplifier. You understand how to use AI creatively, from concept generation to visualization, and know its strengths, weaknesses, and how to direct it effectively.

Craft maniac | You hear language like music. You edit until every syllable hits right. You live for the line that makes everyone stop and say that’s it .

Benefits

We’re not hiring for a seat-filler.

We’re hiring a storm.

Someone who can see around corners, turn ideas into action, and chaos into clarity.

If you’ve got a portfolio full of boldness, weirdness, cleverness, or beautiful rebellion — we want to see it. Static, moving, broken, brilliant, bring it on.

Let’s build the kind of work that gets screens paused, hearts racing, and clients saying “Wait, we can do that?”
