Blackbird Interactive is a creative-fueled, future-driven, independent game studio where the best talent in the industry can find long-term careers to help grow their abilities while working on a wide range of projects, which encompass world-class IPs as well as our own creations across multiple genres.
In 2022, we announced that our studio is implementing a four-day work week as well as supporting in-studio, remote, and hybrid work arrangements as permanent options to our employees.
The Marketing Art Lead drives the development of engaging assets and visual identities for both our games and the studio, within the framework established by the Studio Art Director. They work closely with stakeholders from the Communications, Talent, Studio Operations, Art, and Production teams who co-own external & internal studio messaging and channels. You will share the responsibility not only for delivering striking visual designs across a wide variety of projects and media (game key art; screenshots; social media content; corporate brand collaterals; giveaway materials, etc.), but also for managing external design partners that will be called in on a per-need basis to augment your skillset (web design agency; motion designer; merch manufacturing company, etc.). This role may also require you to liaise from time to time with our external publishing partners and work with them on key promotional assets.
