What a Creative Director does
Creative directors set the visual and conceptual direction for a brand's or agency's work and are accountable for its quality. They lead designers, copywriters and video or motion teams, shape the central idea behind campaigns, and decide what is good enough to ship. The job is more about directing and critiquing than producing the work personally.
