About us
We are Dragons, a global creative agency working with bold brands to build cultural relevance, connection, and long-term impact through strategy-led creativity.
We bridge digital and creative thinking, developing innovative work across skincare, healthcare, fashion, lifestyle, FMCG, and more. Our international teams in the US and Barcelona deliver results through smart strategy, sharp creativity, and meticulous execution.
About the role
We’re looking for an Associate Creative Director with deep roots in the beauty industry — someone who understands skincare not just as a category, but as a culture.
This role is for a highly visual thinker with a strong art direction foundation, experienced in leading shoots, building brand worlds, and shaping how beauty lives today across campaigns, social, and content ecosystems.
You’ll act as a creative leader, bringing a clear point of view on how to evolve beauty through new technologies (3D, AI, CGI) while maintaining a strong sense of craft and premium execution.
Key responsibilities
- Lead creative direction across skincare and beauty brands, from concept to execution
- Drive art direction at the highest level, setting visual standards and elevating output across all touchpoints
- Own end-to-end campaigns: ideation, pitch, production, post, and multi-channel rollout
- Define and evolve art direction across film, stills, social, retail, and OOH
- Oversee and direct photo and video shoots, ensuring excellence across casting, lighting, styling, and post-production
- Translate scientific product claims into compelling, modern, and desirable storytelling
- Build scalable campaign platforms and content ecosystems, not just one-off ideas
- Collaborate closely with strategy to ensure work is insight-driven and culturally relevant
- Present and defend work to clients, acting as a trusted creative partner
- Lead and mentor creative teams (Art Directors and Copywriters), ensuring clarity, consistency, and quality
- Partner with production teams to balance creative ambition with timelines and budgets
- Stay ahead of trends in beauty, skincare, fashion, and social, bringing fresh perspectives into the work
