[Hiring] Associate Creative Director, Partnerships & Experiences @Aquent

Role Description

Aquent Studios is seeking an Associate Creative Director, Partnerships & Experiences to join our team supporting Qualcomm. You will be working alongside Qualcomm's Snapdragon team to help create the ideas, experiences, and fan moments that bring Snapdragon's global sports partnerships to life, including Manchester United and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Working alongside the Creative Director, Snapdragon, agency partners, and cross-functional teams, you'll help turn world-class partnerships into work that fans actually care about.

We're looking for a highly creative thinker, someone who loves building on ideas, sees possibilities others miss, and is constantly pushing concepts beyond the obvious. The kind of person who gets energized by the creative process and has the craft, instincts, and imagination to turn good ideas into unforgettable experiences.

What You'll Do

• Create and develop ideas that bring Snapdragon's sports partnerships to life in memorable and unexpected ways
• Collaborate with agencies, rights holders, internal teams, and experience partners to build fan experiences, brand moments, and activation programs
• Bring fresh creative thinking and cultural awareness to every stage of development
• Find new ways to make ideas bigger, more relevant, and more exciting for fans
• Help develop experiences, events, content programs, hospitality concepts, and social extensions that extend partnership platforms beyond traditional sponsorship
• Build compelling presentations, concept boards, and creative materials that help ideas come to life
• Push work beyond the expected, challenging teams to explore new directions and stronger creative solutions
• Stay connected to sports, entertainment, culture, technology, and emerging trends to inspire new ideas and opportunities

Qualifications

• Experience in advertising, experiential marketing, brand experience, partnerships, or integrated campaigns
• Worked with sports, entertainment, lifestyle, or sponsorship-driven brands
• Strong conceptual thinker with a portfolio full of original ideas and standout creative work
• Ability to build on existing concepts while also generating entirely new ones
• Experience taking ideas from concept through production, partnering across creative and production teams to deliver high-quality work
• Ability to bring ideas to life through storytelling, experience design, presentations, creative development, and visual thinking
• Comfortable moving between big-picture thinking and hands-on creative problem solving
• Love collaboration and enjoy building ideas alongside strategists, marketers, agencies, designers, producers, and partners
• Passion for creating moments that capture attention, spark conversation, and deepen fan connection

Ideal Candidate Profile

We're looking for a creator. Someone with the creative confidence to challenge assumptions, push ideas further, and uncover opportunities others might miss. The ideal candidate is equal parts thinker and maker: they can take an existing concept and make it stronger, or start with a blank page and create something entirely new. They're curious about culture, passionate about sports and entertainment, and motivated by the opportunity to create work that earns attention and leaves a lasting impression. Experience in sports marketing, sponsorships, entertainment, experiential campaigns, or partnership-driven creative development is strongly preferred.
