Creative Director, Interactive Experiences

Gigantic Playground, a CourtAvenue company, is a fast-growing creative technology agency that creates immersive and interactive experiences that connect people, places, and products in extraordinary ways. Our unique experience + technology approach blends creativity, immersive storytelling, and product innovation to create dynamic experiences that captivate, engage, and delight.

We're a purposely uncommon team, equal parts experience designers, creative technologists, and storytellers, with a mission to reimagine how people live, work, shop, and play.

Interactive work only earns its keep when someone actually stops, engages, and remembers it. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, and it's what this role exists to protect. As Creative Director, Interactive Experiences, you'll be the creative owner of everything we build that people touch, tap, walk into, or play with, from event installations to product launch apps to connected retail moments.

You're equally comfortable pitching the big idea in a client boardroom and sitting with a design team debugging why an interaction feels one beat too slow. We're looking for someone who can hold both altitudes at once: setting a creative bar for the whole studio while staying hands-on enough to shape the details that make an experience feel effortless. Your toolkit spans spatial storytelling, sensory and environmental design, and interactive technology, and you know how to weave all three into experiences that hold up whether someone spends five seconds or five minutes with them.

This is a leadership role with real creative stakes. You'll guide a team of designers and technologists, sit at the table with client leadership, and help define what "interactive" means for our studio as the tools and platforms we design for (AR, VR, connected hardware, generative AI, and whatever comes after) keep shifting.

Responsibilities

Shape the Creative Vision

• Define the point of view behind each interactive project, turning a client brief or a piece of new technology into an experience concept worth building

• Stay involved through production, not just at kickoff, so the finished experience still reflects the ambition of the original idea

• Set and protect a consistently high bar for design, motion, and interaction quality across every project the studio ships

Lead People and Client Relationships

• Manage and develop a team of designers, creative technologists, and producers, giving them clear creative direction and room to do strong work

• Serve as the primary creative contact for client teams, balancing their business goals against what will actually make for a compelling experience

• Pitch new ideas and present finished work in a way that builds client confidence in the studio's judgment, not just its execution
