Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
The Team
The Marketing Partnerships Creative team collaborates with external brands and agency/production partners as well as internal cross-functional teams to create compelling campaigns, activations, sponsorships, and other innovative solutions. The team consists of (3) disciplines: Brand Strategy, Creative, and Creative Production. This team is tasked with ensuring all work has a clear and compelling strategy, crafted at the highest quality, and executed flawlessly.
This role would work collaboratively to support the Ads Marketing team. The Ads Marketing team shapes our core advertising positioning and drives the go-to-market strategy to bring this positioning to life through compelling, differentiated messaging and narratives. By activating these messages across both sales channels (presentations, materials, talking points, events) and broader non-sales channels, the team builds widespread awareness and excitement among our key advertising partners.
The Profile
We are seeking a creative professional with extensive experience in integrated creative, who can lead full funnel creative development for our advertising business. This role must be able to closely partner with external agencies/vendors, external partners (advertisers) as well as cross-functional teams. This role requires functioning as a holistic ‘creative director’ (messaging, copy and design). However, the preferred candidate will have hands-on design experience with a deep track record in visual design and art direction across a variety of mediums including digital, events, activations, video, and print.
This new role presents a huge opportunity to be at the forefront of a new Netflix offering, one that not only continues to prove how Netflix is the most innovative entertainment company in the world, but also helps to deliver and grow an important new revenue stream for the business. This role will therefore ensure Netflix Ads is showing up in the industry consistently, and confidently with break-through thinking.
