Creative Director

CNC Agency (formerly Coffee ’n Clothes) is an experiential marketing agency born from culture and built for connection. We create experiences, stories, and products that people love and that help brands grow. We put people first and design accordingly, seamlessly blending strategy, creativity, production, and culture to turn ideas into experiences that move people. Because amazing things happen to brands when they build for humans, not algorithms.

We are currently seeking a Creative Director (CD) to lead the creative execution of immersive, brand-driven experiences from concept approval through final delivery. This role translates high-level creative vision into cohesive, high-quality execution across all physical and digital touchpoints. Acting as the central creative integrator, the CD ensures alignment across disciplines while maintaining creative integrity, feasibility, and craft, without personally executing every component.

The CD represents the creative team in client and internal forums, guiding work forward through direction, feedback, and decision-making. Success in this role requires strong creative judgment, leadership, and the ability to balance ambition with real-world constraints.

Roles & Responsibilities:
- Oversee creative execution across all experiential work streams, including environmental design, graphic design, copy, interactive, AV, and spatial storytelling, from concept through delivery
- Interpret and steward approved creative vision, ensuring it is clearly and consistently expressed across every touchpoint of the experience
- Identify all creative components required to deliver the project and define the appropriate internal teams and external partners needed to execute each
- Review, guide, and elevate work produced by designers, art directors, writers, and specialists, providing clear direction without absorbing executional tasks
- Present executional creative work to clients and internal stakeholders on behalf of the creative team, articulating intent, rationale, and evolution
- Partner closely with Production and Account teams to align creative development with scope, budget, timelines, and logistical feasibility
- Collaborate directly with fabricators, builders, AV partners, and external specialists to ensure creative intent, quality, and craftsmanship are upheld in final execution
- Serve as the creative “glue,” maintaining cross-functional alignment, identifying risks, and solving problems throughout the lifecycle of the project
- Ensure creative solutions meet brand standards, audience needs, and experiential best practices while remaining achievable within real-world constraints
- Support project handoff, installation, and on-site execution as needed to ensure the experience is delivered as intended
- Participate in post-project reviews to evaluate creative outcomes and inform future work
- Manage and mentor junior-to-senior creatives (art directors, designers, copywriters, etc.).
