About the job
Major Players is working with a live events group running a major festival portfolio across the UK & Europe, to find a Head of Studio to build & run their new Studio function.
This is a newly-created role reporting into the Marketing Director. You'll run a virtual studio model - scaling a flexible freelance creative network up & down around festival peaks - repurposing festival-owned assets into channel-ready creative across Meta, TikTok, email & more, always within each festival's brand guidelines. AI/automation sits at the centre of the role, not as a side project.
Responsibilities
- Act as the trusted creative authority for festival teams, translating each festival's brand & fan experience into high-performing digital creative
- Build & manage a flexible freelance production network, with strong briefing, QA & workflow standards
- Design AI-augmented production workflows (Runway, Pika, Adobe Firefly or equivalent) for motion, graphics & format adaptation at scale
- Own the creative effectiveness loop with the Performance & CRM teams - brief, produce, test, measure, learn
- Set creative KPIs tied to commercial outcomes: engagement rate, click-thumbstop ratio, cost-per-ticket-click, CAC reduction
- Extend high-performing creative concepts into lifecycle channels (email, SMS, WhatsApp), not just paid media
- Design & maintain a portfolio-wide, tagged asset library

- Senior stakeholder skills - able to build trust with senior brand leadership as a creative partner, not a vendor
