MARKETING ART DIRECTOR, BRAWL STARS

Supercell, a game company founded in 2010, believes that the best teams make the best games that will be played by as many people as possible, last for decades, and be remembered forever.
Our creative process encourages independence, critical thinking, self-awareness, and open communication. Our teams are small and agile; taking responsibility is a must, and a passion for excellence is essential to our success.
We are looking for passionate artists who want to help define and build game brands that will last for decades to come. We value those who bring a fresh perspective, enjoy experimentation, and thrive in an environment that challenges traditional norms.
Whatever your directing background is, you are a storyteller at heart. You believe timeless and emotionally powerful stories spring from distinctive worlds of memorable characters. You will play an indispensable role in building those worlds and telling those stories for an audience of hundreds of millions worldwide.
As a Marketing Art Director in the Global Marketing team, you will help the game team and the IP owner to translate the game’s vision to our players through outstanding marketing content such as cinematic videos, gameplay videos, and illustrations that captivate and engage our players.
Reporting to the Marketing Lead, you will work closely with internal cross-functional teams to align the creative direction with the product strategy. Additionally, you will drive and inspire multidisciplinary external creative teams to create marketing content that respects the visual identity, the tone, the voice of the game’s distinctive brand, and the overall global marketing strategy.
You can have your particular skill (or two), and we don’t expect you to be perfect in everything. What’s more important is your eagerness to solve various creative challenges to help build a love for the game and ensure that Brawl Stars delivers our players a seamless and immersive experience that ultimately converts into pure fandom.
