Creative Director - Experiences

Stagwell Global•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

At Left Field Labs, we turn complex concepts, emerging technologies, and often ambiguous challenges into irresistible experiences people can see, touch, and understand. Experiential moments where abstract ideas become clear, irresistible, and tangible. Our positioning is simple: We Make It Real. We’re looking for a Creative Director who can do exactly that → shape bold ideas, tell the story that sells them, and lead — not dictate — teams to bring them to life. This role sits inside our NEXT Pod, working across some of the most ambitious and creatively open territory in the industry: Experiential environments — brand worlds, immersive spaces, permanent and touring installations; Themed entertainment — narrative environments, attraction concepts, destination experiences; Brand activations — moments that earn attention, build belief, and convert audiences into advocates; Interactive and technology-enabled work — experiences where the audience participates, not just observes. You’ll lead creative across the full arc: from early pitch and concept development through to final execution. That means being as sharp in a competitive pitch room as you are on a build site walkthrough.
