A little bit about our team:
Warner Bros. Records is home to some of the most influential and innovative artists of our time. Our extraordinary roster of new and established recording artists is unparalleled, and our collective influence on music culture is without precedent. With a visionary approach toward discovering and nurturing musical talent, the Warner Bros. Records family of labels is currently home to an impressive generation of major artists.
The mission of the Fan Engagement department is to acquire, engage, and retain true fans across our digital ecosystems. The team is responsible for any digital property that speaks directly to fans: social media, websites, email/CRM, mobile apps, and emerging technologies. Using content and creative marketing strategies, the Fan Engagement team keeps fans deeply connected to and invested in our artists.
Why this could be your next big break:
Do you have killer design ability, strong decision making skills, a deep knowledge of design for both traditional and digital media? Can you mentor and lead a team of creatives, helping them to craft content for a variety of musical artists across every genre? Are you passionate about applying your skills across multiple disciplines, including photography, video, digital content, and web solutions? Do you have a track record of delivering compelling marketing campaigns and an unmatched drive for creative excellence? Can you balance originality with the need to meet deadlines and bring to life a music artist's vision?
Then WBR is the place for you!
You will lead a team of designers that create assets for the Fan Engagement team. Our designers are passionate about growing their skills and looking for a leader to take them to the next level. You will work cross-functionally with marketers, designers, engineers, artist managers, and the artists themselves. You will lead the visual storytelling of the Fan Engagement team, working in tandem with the digital strategists to concept and create assets for our online marketing campaigns. You must be a strong visual thinker with the ability to understand the greater digital strategy and translate it into tangible assets. You must be able to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment while still delivering compelling content. We want you to love what you do, so a passion for music, design, and technology is a must!

• Execute across a wide range of outputs, from the big one-off campaigns, to the tactical everyday deliverables
• Respond to client/strategist feedback and steward the creative integrity of projects
• Keep up with latest best practices, trends and industry techniques to share ideas and knowledge with the entire Fan Engagement team
