You work closely with creative teams to develop ideas and move them beyond concepts and presentations into concrete, tangible executions. We are looking for someone who does more than execute. You question, improve, and add value through clear thinking and excellent craft.

This means

Developing strong visual ideas across advertising campaigns, branding and rebranding projects, social content and print.
Understanding that every channel has its own rules and adapting ideas, formats, and craft for social, digital, and print.
Understanding briefs, while challenging conventions and raising the quality of the work.
Taking print work from concept to accurate, production-ready artwork.
Creating compelling presentations that communicate the idea, rationale, and story.
Balancing larger creative projects with fast-paced daily requests.
Initially joining a dedicated client team, while contributing to other clients and projects when capacity allows.
Collaborating closely with creatives, designers, account teams and production partners.

You bring

A strong and relevant portfolio that demonstrates creative thinking, craft and experience across print and digital.
Excellent Figma skills and strong knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite.
A solid understanding of print production, specifications, formats and artwork delivery.
The ability to create presentations and explain your design decisions clearly.
Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
A sharp eye for visual detail and accuracy.
Clear communication and a hands-on approach.

As a person

You are curious and eager to keep developing. You care about the idea as much as the execution and actively contribute to the quality of the work.

We value open collaboration. You share what you know, learn from the people around you, and feel comfortable speaking up with questions, ideas and different perspectives.

We work in a hybrid way and believe collaboration works best when we spend meaningful time together. Our team works from the Amsterdam office at least three days a week.

A big plus

You are comfortable working in Dutch, as part of the client work and communication is in Dutch.
You have experience using AI tools to create or develop visuals.
You bring additional skills in areas such as motion or 3D.

Who we are

We are Dentsu Creative Amsterdam. Part of a global agency network, we live and breathe transformative creativity. We create award-winning work across five shops: Campaign, Branding, Social, Experience, and PR. Chances are, you’ve seen our work in the wild. From a campaign that changed internet laws and unmistakable grocery vans to financial tips on your feed and futuristic platforms for luxury watches. We’re on the lookout for fresh perspectives that come from diverse ideas, nationalities, and backgrounds. Here at Houthavens, you’ll find unique personalities, from our creatives to account managers, strategists to technologists, designers to content creators, and everyone in between. One roof, one team. All in.

Why you?

If you’re not afraid to raise your hand and speak up, this is your place. We have clients you’ve always wanted to work for and projects you’ve always wanted to be a part of. Let’s create work that others wish they had, together.

Why us?

We’re serious about our work, but we’re also serious about having fun. Just ask anyone who’s been to our BBQs, Thanksgiving dinners, or team uitjes. On a day-to-day basis, you’ll find us cracking puzzles, hanging with office doggies, and still figuring out how to froth milk with the espresso machine. And of course, Thursday borreltjes. Take our word for it. Or better yet, experience it for yourself.
