- Every guest forms an opinion about a place well before arriving: the photograph on a booking page, the label on a wine list, the colour of a welcome card. Our studio, Gaia Digital Agency, sits in the heart of Ubud on Bali, and it is recruiting an Art Director eager to shape those first impressions for the hospitality brands on our client list.
- Our client roster is made up of boutique hotels, private villas, wellness and yoga retreats, restaurants, beach clubs and a handful of clinics. We run their digital presence from several sides at once, covering content for social channels, websites, advertising, search optimisation, photo and film production and AI-assisted tools. Whatever the channel, the work only holds together when one person decides what it should look like.
- The position is a lasting, full-time one, located in Ubud itself, so you sit with the rest of the crew every day. You would own visual quality across client projects: choosing the creative route, briefing and reviewing designers, photographers and video editors, and approving what gets delivered.
- A typical week might involve turning a loose client wish into a reference board, a shooting plan and a realistic cost; being on set at a villa pool or in a busy kitchen to shape each frame; writing feedback that designers can act on straight away; building identities, from logomark to typefaces to colour, that feel consistent on a feed, a reservation page and a printed menu; and defending your concepts live with clients in fluent English, adjusting where their feedback is fair. Our strategists, web developers and paid media specialists work close by, so your ideas get tested against real results.
- The right person has already led creative output in a role such as art director, design lead or studio head, and can show projects where the final outcome was theirs. We care most about your portfolio, ideally including branding or advertising for a property or a restaurant. Extra credit goes to a trained eye for lighting, ease with short video, interest in mentoring newer designers, and English you can both write and present in with assurance.
- Your choices will define how guests and diners see our clients before they ever walk through the door.
- Apply by sending your portfolio and describing the hospitality or food projects where you carried the creative lead, plus the concept behind each. Two numbers help us plan: your target monthly pay in rupiah, and how soon, in days, you could start after resigning.
