Creative Director - Design & Experiential (m/f/d)

Your mission:
As Creative Director – Design & Experiential at Sunst, you lead how brands are translated into immersive experiences – across space, activation formats, and digital layers.

Your work moves fluidly between physical environments and broader experiential ecosystems. You build visual worlds and translate brand strategy into clear aesthetic systems across campaigns, objects, environments, and activations.

This role is about authorship and creative direction.

You don’t design individual assets – you define the visual language and creative logic that connects them. From concept to execution, you guide projects creatively, establishing strong visual principles and ensuring clarity, cultural relevance, and design integrity throughout.
