Job description

Ninety9cents is a full-service, integrated advertising agency with branches in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and is one of South Africa’s largest independently owned agencies. Led by founder and Managing Director, Andrew Brand, the agency’s extensive client base includes leading brands such as Shoprite/Checkers, Ackermans, PUMA, Spur Group, Capitec and Distell, to name but a few. 

We are looking for an art director who thinks a little differently – someone who can attack an open brief with very few parameters in addition to executing detailed briefs.

They must be keen to go above and beyond of what’s traditionally expected of an art director, as well as tackle through-the-line brand work and retail.

Must have a keen eye for detail and work well under tight deadlines and pitches.  A bonus would be if our new recruit has skills or an interest in other creative fields, such as video editing, web design, illustrating – anything unexpected that can add value.
