Creative Director

Location: Guernsey, St. Peter Port (office-based, full-time)
Closing date: Sunday 15th Feb 

Buzz Creative Studio is a small but mighty independent agency built on creativity, collaboration and a genuine love for doing brilliant work that matters. With a close team of eight designers, marketers and strategists, we deliver imaginative campaigns, smart thinking and design that never slips into beige.

 

We are looking for a Creative Director who will shape our creative identity and help us grow into the next stage of who we want to be. This is not a role where you simply steer from the sidelines. You will lead, mentor, and champion creative excellence while also rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into projects.

 

Importantly, this role also has a foundational remit. Buzz has huge potential and incredible talent, but we know there are creative frameworks, ways of working, and processes waiting to be built. Part of your responsibility is to help establish them and guide our studio into its next era.

Key ResponsibilitiesCreative Leadership

  • Set the creative direction for the agency while helping define what creative excellence looks like at Buzz.

  • Build and shape the creative culture, encouraging collaboration, curiosity, fearlessness and pride.

  • Create structure, process and clarity around how work gets briefed, reviewed and delivered as we embed new ways of working.

  • Work closely with the Managing Director, Head of Marketing and wider team to uphold our creative standards and future ambitions.

​

Building Creative Systems and Structure

  • Develop core creative processes, tools and habits to support the team.

  • Document how creative work should move through the studio from brief to delivery.

  • Implement style guides, brand guardrails, review systems and quality checks.

  • Identify gaps or blockers and help remove them with practical solutions that fit a growing agency.

​

Hands On Creative Execution

  • Lead design direction and contribute to concept development, layouts and output as needed.

  • Support across branding, digital campaigns, social content and print materials.

  • Be the creative problem solver who elevates ideas and ensures every project feels refined and purposeful.

​

Client Partnership

  • Join client calls and workshops to unpack problems and spark ideas.

  • Present concepts clearly and confidently, backed with strategic reasoning.

  • Build trusted relationships where clients see you as a partner, not a supplier.

​

Mentoring and Team Development

  • Guide our growing design and marketing teams with thoughtful, constructive feedback.

  • Help individuals level up in their craft and confidence.

  • Encourage continual learning, inspiration sharing and personal development.

​

Ownership of Quality and Consistency

  • Ensure all creative output feels cohesive, distinctive and aligned with the Buzz standard.

  • Protect ideas that need space and challenge work that feels safe or unimaginative.

  • Approve key work before it goes to clients or into the world.

​

Skills and Experience

​We know that great creative direction balances experience with passion, so we are looking for someone who brings a blend of proven capability and the confidence to help shape something exciting. Ideally, you will have:

  • Previous experience as a Creative Director, Lead Designer or Senior Creative within a creative, digital or marketing environment.

  • Comfort operating in a small team where everyone plays multiple roles

  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite alongside a good understanding of digital-first workflows

  • Confidence presenting, collaborating and guiding clients in a friendly but assured manner

  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities while establishing new systems and behaviours

​

Who You Are

More than a job title, we are looking for a personality that will elevate the work and the people around them. The right person will thrive in a growing agency and bring:

  • A natural leadership style that lifts others with energy, encouragement and clarity

  • A willingness to operate strategically but also get hands on when needed

  • A problem solving mindset with excitement for shaping something from the ground up

  • A belief that creativity flourishes when people feel supported, trusted and inspired

  • A calm, thoughtful and collaborative approach that pushes Buzz forward rather than simply maintaining where we are

​

Reporting Structure

Reports to the Managing Director and works at the heart of the design, strategy and marketing teams, ensuring Buzz continues to evolve as a creative powerhouse.
