Head Of Content Studio
Real Chemistry's advertising agency, 21GRAMS, has done a lot in its first 5+ years. Known for our creativity, 21GRAMS has been ranked a top 5 most creative health agency in the world by Cannes Lions (with 100% regulated, real client work). We aren't creative-led, account-led or led by any specific department. It takes a team to do ambitious things, and our ambition is to help people connect with healthcare by making advertising less of an interruption and more worth people's time because it actually gets them. As an agency with the full capabilities of Real Chemistry at our fingertips, we've got endless potential.
ROOM42, Real Chemistry's in-house production company, is seeking a Head of Content Studio to lead and develop the creative team while building a more modern, AI-, automation-, and DCO-enabled creative delivery process for healthcare advertising clients. This is a senior creative leadership role focused on creative quality, team structure, scalable ways of working, and practical innovation in how creative work is made, adapted, versioned, reviewed, optimized, and improved. The role partners closely with 21GRAMS and the broader Real Chemistry network across embedded agency delivery, direct-to-client assignments, and collaboration with media or other cross-functional teams. You will manage designers, copywriters, and a Creative Director responsible for day-to-day creative direction, while partnering with delivery management leads who own project plans, resourcing, budgets, timelines, and final delivery execution. You will help the studio move from manual, fragmented creative production toward a clearer, smarter, more system-enabled model that supports modular creative, dynamic content, audience- and channel-specific versioning, and DCO technology without compromising craft, accuracy, or healthcare compliance. You are dedicated to living our mantra: 'Be hard on the work, but be good to each other'.
Key responsibilities include:
- Creative team leadership
- AI-, automation-, and DCO-enabled creative process
- Creative quality and craft standards
- Studio operating model
- Healthcare advertising expertise
- Senior creative partnership
- Cross-functional collaboration
- Tooling, templates, and workflow adoption
- Continuous improvement
Qualifications:
- Significant experience leading creative teams within a healthcare advertising agency, creative agency, production studio, content studio, or related environment.
- Strong creative leadership skills, including team management, creative quality oversight, feedback, talent development, and the ability to raise the standard of work across designers and copywriters.
- Practical experience implementing AI, automation, and DCO technology in creative workflows, including briefing, concepting, modular asset creation, versioning, adaptation, dynamic content assembly, review, creative reuse, quality control, and reduction of repetitive manual work.
- Ability to turn emerging tools into repeatable creative processes, including templates, prompts, review steps, QA practices, guardrails, training materials, adoption plans, and human oversight expectations.
- Strong healthcare advertising experience, including regulated categories, claim sensitivity, client review expectations, agency creative models, data protection considerations, and the accuracy, consistency, and compliance required to deliver work in this space.
- Experience with DCO and dynamic content workflows, including modular asset systems, feed- or data-informed creative logic, versioning, adaptation, audience- or channel-specific creative delivery, platform requirements, testing inputs, optimization signals, and collaboration with media, technology, and AI/automation partners.
- Confident senior presence with the ability to explain creative systems, shape expectations, influence stakeholders, and build trust with agency and client teams.
- Collaborative leadership style with the ability to work effectively across Real Chemistry, 21GRAMS, ROOM42, media, client teams, and cross-functional partners.
- Bias toward clear creative process, practical experimentation, strong communication, and high-quality execution in fast-moving content studio environments.
