The Story Behind the Role

How does the Art Director role at Panama truly shape the creative vision for clients, and what opportunities are there to push boundaries with new ideas?

It’s exhilarating! As an Art Director here, you’re not just executing tasks; you’re truly at the heart of our creative output, shaping the vision for big national and international brands. We thrive on developing 'extraordinary ideas,' and the agency trusts us to own our projects from conception to execution. It’s incredibly rewarding to see our creative ideas come to life, knowing they make a tangible impact, and it constantly pushes us to innovate and grow.

With the emphasis on individual contribution and team support, what does collaboration truly look like on a day-to-day basis, and how does the Panama-Academy contribute to personal and professional growth?

Collaboration here is dynamic and genuinely supportive. While you operate 'autonomously,' you're always integrated into a strong team where everyone's unique skills are valued. We actively brainstorm, constructively challenge ideas, and celebrate successes collectively. The Panama-Academy is a fantastic investment in us – it's not just a name. We have regular workshops and opportunities for further training, ensuring we stay sharp, evolve with industry trends, and continue developing as strong creatives and individuals.

The job description mentions flexible working models and 'Workation'. How does the agency truly support a healthy work-life balance, and what's the vibe like during and after hours?

Work-life balance isn't just a talking point; it's ingrained in our approach. The flexible hours, two mobile working days a week, and the 'Workation' option truly empower us to manage our lives effectively. Plus, 30 vacation days and extensive health management, from sports courses to bike leasing, show genuine care. During office hours, there's a buzzing, creative energy, and afterwards, we definitely know how to unwind. From daily fresh fruit and coffee to after-work beers and legendary employee events, there’s a strong sense of community. It’s a place where you work hard on exciting projects but also genuinely enjoy the people and the vibrant agency life.
