We’re looking for a Creative Lead - 3D to help shape how MECCA shows up in the physical world, from spaces and environments to products, objects, merchandise, installations and experiences.
Sitting within our Creative Direction team, this newly created senior creative role will help define MECCA’s future physical creative language, translating brand strategy and creative direction into distinctive ideas that build brand recognition, customer connection and cultural relevance.
The Role You Could Play:
This is a concept-led creative role for someone who naturally thinks in three dimensions and loves imagining what an idea could become beyond the screen.
Reporting to the Head of Creative Direction, you’ll lead the development of physical creative ideas across some of MECCA’s most important campaigns, launches, flagship moments and brand initiatives.
Develop and lead original 3D creative concepts across spaces, environments, products, merchandise, installations and experiences.
Take ideas from early concept through to a clear creative vision, considering form, materiality, scale, interaction and customer experience.
Help define and evolve MECCA’s physical creative language, exploring new formats, materials, technologies and collaborators.
Partner closely with Creative Leads, Creative Strategy, Design, Art Direction, Visual Merchandising, Product Innovation, Retail Experience, Store Design and Production to bring ideas to life.
Provide clear creative direction and judgement, balancing creative ambition with customer needs, commercial realities, feasibility and scale.
What You Will Bring:
You’re a senior creative who thinks expansively, brings strong conceptual ideas to the table and knows how to turn them into physical expressions people remember.
Experience in one or more 3D creative disciplines, such as spatial design, product design, experiential design, architecture, interiors, environmental or exhibition design, retail innovation or creative direction.
A portfolio that demonstrates big conceptual thinking expressed through physical outcomes, across different scales and formats.
Proven experience developing ideas from a blank page through to a clearly articulated creative vision and partnering with specialist teams to realise them.
A strong understanding of form, space, materiality, interaction and customer experience, with an eye for craft and detail.
Confidence communicating and presenting creative thinking, alongside a collaborative, curious and pragmatic approach to bringing ambitious ideas to life.
