Creative Director

KQT Health
Philadelphia, PA
About Us

Sparks is a leading global brand experience agency, specializing in the design and execution of award-winning experiences that forge deep connections between brands and audiences. Recognized by Adweek as Experiential Agency of the Year, we bring a unique blend of strategic insight and execution excellence to every brand activation, corporate event, trade show exhibit, and immersive experience. Our commitment to creativity, innovation, and flawless execution drives us to craft impactful experiential marketing solutions that deepen relationships, inspire action, and build trust-all around the world.

Summary

A Sparks Creative Director is responsible for leading the conceptual development, innovation, execution, and presentation of multidisciplinary projects, regardless of complexity, format, budget, or scale (i.e. events, exhibits, activations, immersive experiences). This role sets the creative vision and inspires the team to deliver work that is strategically grounded, experientially compelling, utterly unique and original, and aligned with client goals. In other words, you invent and create incredible experiences and guide the team to develop and execute them to perfection.

Your core areas of experience and expertise would ideally include large scale corporate/B2B events, exhibition and trade show experience design, and/or experiential/live activations. We also favor candidates with a background in either graphic design or environmental design (or both), and experience working both on projects, and on new business/RFPs. This is a mid-to-senior-level creative role, and candidates should demonstrate a high degree of creative autonomy, leadership capability, and technical fluency. The position requires the ability to direct large-scale and complex projects, mentor junior staff, and contribute to departmental growth through innovation, best practices, and thought leadership.

  • Reviews and approves final creative outputs, ensuring they meet client expectations and adhere to brand standards, current trends, and industry best practices.
  • Serves as the primary creative liaison to clients-presenting overarching ideas, navigating feedback, and managing revisions with strategic insight and confidence.
  • Demonstrates expert-level proficiency in relevant creative tools and platforms.
  • Collaborates across departments (production, fabrication, account direction) to ensure creative integrity and seamless project execution.
  • Leads brainstorming sessions and creative workshops to inspire breakthrough ideas and transform good concepts into great ones.
