Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa soulpepper Full time R80 000 - R120 000 per year

YOU'RE NOT A TYPICAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR. WE'RE NOT A TYPICAL DIGITAL MARKETING AGENCY.

We're
Soulpepper
, a purpose-driven digital marketing agency that builds brands and websites that
perform and inspire.

We generate outstanding ecommerce and law firm marketing
results — fast — but we also believe business should be a force for good. Our clients represent over
$100M in social impact power
. They conserve wildlife, employ the underprivileged, source local, and live ethically.

We're also recognized as a
leader in law firm marketing
, helping some of the most respected firms in North America grow through smart strategy, storytelling, and design.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a
Creative Director
to lead our creative vision and elevate everything we deliver — from websites to campaigns.

You'll own the story, the look, and the feel. You'll guide designers, developers, and clients through the creative journey — and ensure every word and pixel connects to something bigger.

If you're a hybrid creative leader — equal parts storyteller, strategist, and team mentor — this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead the creative direction across all client projects (with a focus on law firms and impact-driven brands).
  • Turn brand strategy into clear messaging, beautiful design, and persuasive storytelling.
  • Write or guide the creation of compelling web copy and brand messaging.
  • Collaborate with dev and marketing teams to make sure every site launches flawlessly.
  • Present creative concepts to clients and champion the "why" behind the work.
  • Mentor the design team to think beyond visuals — into emotion and meaning.
  • Explore how
    AI
    can enhance creative processes, without losing the human touch.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 5–10 years in creative direction, brand strategy, or digital storytelling.
  • Experience leading website or campaign projects from concept to launch.
  • Strong copywriting and conceptual chops — you think in both words and visuals.
  • Great communicator and presenter; you can sell the story
    and
    the strategy.
  • Experience in
    law firm marketing, professional services, or purpose-driven brands
    is a huge plus.
  • Curiosity for how AI can evolve creative work.

WHY SOULPEPPER

  • Lead the creative vision for a fast-growing, purpose-driven agency.
  • Work with passionate designers, devs, and strategists.
  • Partner with brands and law firms that care about more than profit.
  • Flexible, entrepreneurial culture where great ideas win.
