Studio Director

GumGum is a contextual-first, global digital advertising platform that uses advanced AI technology to serve captivating creative ads that drive consumer attention, without the use of personal data. At GumGum, we don't need to know who you are to deliver relevant and engaging ads that align with your active frame of mind. We believe that a digital advertising industry based on context rather than personal data builds a more equitable and less invasive future for the internet and is better for consumers, publishers and advertisers alike. Our blueprint for the future, The Mindset Matrix, combines the power of context and creative in digital advertising to deliver superior attention and drive consumer action without sacrificing personal data.

The Studio Director is a key member of the regional leadership team, responsible for driving client growth and retention through strategic creative leadership. This role serves as the commercial design partner to our Sales and Account Management teams, transforming creative services from a delivery function into a significant revenue and relationship driver.

Note : GumGum fosters a flexible work environment, offering GumGummers the ability to work either in-office or remotely / from home. However, for occasional in-person collaboration, we kindly ask that this position be located within a 'commutable' distance to our office.
