Jesus lighten up ACD.

(For the record I'd choose creative director as it seems a bit more ideas based/campaign/multi discipline)

I’d normally choose CD but the Head of BS (I mean BD) sometimes gets paid a lot more.

Don’t let being the Head go to your head.

i guess it depends on whether or not you want to be perceived more as an ideas person or a craft person in the long run

for some reason head of design seems like it would fare better in the tech space while creative director seems more for marketing/adv

Head of creative to compromise?

I feel that Head of Design would open the door to more design gigs. And Creative Director would open the door to more advertising gigs. Do you belong more in the design career track or concepts/art direction/ads?

Def CD!

Unfortunately, at my place, the HBD is the last word on creative decisions despite never having been a creative.

I’d pick CD because it’s more versatile for your resume versus head of brand design which alludes to a more specific set of duties

CD for sure.

Head of creative / brand = CCO.

Needing advice: My company has gone through an Acquisition, and the parent company's HR is looking to add to the team and has voiced that I'd be the obvious candidate for the job. Has anyone had experience working locally, supporting a local team directly, and then moving to a role where you still work locally, but support the larger organization as a whole? I am having a very hard time seeing how that dynamic shift would work, and management has been less than helpful when I ask.
