Founding Creative Director, Interactive & AI

About Lynton

Lynton spent 16 years as a HubSpot partner, delivering 2,000+ projects across 50+ industries. We know SaaS and agency work from the inside. When we saw what was coming with AI, we left HubSpot to build what comes next.

We build and run AI-native growth systems for mid-market companies: websites built to be measured, an open-source stack that replaces legacy software, and AI agents that run marketing, sales, and operations. The client owns the infrastructure, we operate the agents, and the whole system has to show what it produces in revenue.

The opportunity

Most agencies have added AI to their production line and kept the creative process they had ten years ago. We started over. AI coding agents build our websites. Our imagery comes from image and video models we direct. The interactive work that used to need a studio and a six-figure budget is now something a small team can ship in weeks.

What that makes possible depends on taste. Anyone can generate a thousand images. Very few people can pick the right one, fix what’s wrong with it, and make it move in a way that serves the page’s argument. That’s the job.

As our founding creative director, you own the creative and communication strategy for every website and campaign Lynton ships, both ours and our clients’. You decide what a page says and how it looks. You design how it moves. You make or direct every image, illustration, animation, and film on it. Some weeks you’re writing the headline. Other weeks you’re lighting a scene in Blender, or telling a client their brand deserves better than stock photography.

The agency is one part of what we’re building. Lynton is also a launchpad for new products, services, and companies we incubate from inside, and with your help we’ll take each of them to market.

What you’ll own

• Creative and communication strategy. Own the messaging and visual system for every site and campaign. That covers positioning, page structure, headlines, body copy, the design language, and the design tokens that encode it. You write copy yourself and edit everything that ships, so the words and pictures come from one point of view.
• Interactive experience design. Design how every page moves and responds, including SVG and CSS animation, scroll-driven storytelling, micro-interactions, and real-time 3D. You storyboard it, prototype it, and direct the build. When getting into the timeline yourself is faster than explaining, you do that.
• 3D and real-time scenes. Model, light, and art-direct scenes in Blender, then bring them to the browser with Three.js and WebGL. You set the bar for when a page earns real-time 3D and when a lighter technique tells the story better.
• Generated photography and illustration. Build and run the image pipeline. You’ll art-direct photography and illustration with image models, keep one style consistent across a whole site or campaign, and retouch what the model gets wrong. You’ll also animate stills with video models. You set the house rules on style, consistency, and licensing.
• Video and motion graphics. Produce product films, launch and explainer videos, social cuts, and motion graphics. Use generative video, compositing, and traditional motion tools in whatever mix gets the best result.
• Campaign creative. Own launches and email campaigns end to end: concept, copy, landing pages, imagery, and video. A campaign should read as one idea from the inbox to the page.
• New products, services, and brands. Lead the creative for every launch we incubate: the name and identity, the positioning and story, and the site and campaign it goes to market with.
• Creative oversight on every engagement. You review and sign off on all creative the agency ships. You’re the reason a Lynton site looks and reads like one, and the reason no client site looks like a template.
• Performance and accessibility as part of the craft. We hold every page to a mobile Lighthouse score of 90 or above and to WCAG AA contrast. Motion respects reduced-motion settings. 3D loads after the headline, so it never delays the first thing a visitor reads. Copy lives in the page, where both people and AI assistants can read it.
• AI-first production. Direct our agent fleet through the production work: coding agents for pr…
