Skills & Experience (Must-Have)

  • A strong portfolio featuring Key Art and entertainment-first campaigns

  • Understanding of 360 creative output for show launches

  • Conceptual and hands-on design skills (Photoshop, Illustrator)

  • Ability to translate narrative into campaign visuals under tight timelines

Please only apply if you meet these key requirements.
