The NBA, NBPA, and Dapper Labs have teamed up to create NBA Top Shot, a revolutionary new experience in which jaw-dropping plays and unforgettable highlights become collectibles that you can own forever. NBA Top Shot is a first-of-its-kind officially-licensed NBA experience. NBA fans can truly own a piece of the action and trade with friends for real money in a new kind of hoops economy. NBA Top Shot launched in Beta 3 months ago and has since seen accelerated growth, crossing the $15M+ milestone for all-time sales on NBA Top Shot—$8M last week alone.
We’re hiring a freelance Graphic Designer to work alongside NBA Top Shot’s in-house Creative team.
The Creative team is a multi-disciplinary team with specialisms that cover marketing, illustration, graphic design, and motion. Our work is collaborative and fast-paced; our culture thrives on the principle of continuous learning and development.
About the role:
- Engage the next generation of NBA fans with compelling visuals, working from concept through execution to create NBA-caliber assets
- Partner with Marketing and run experimental campaigns that deliver data-driven results to support the growth of our user base
- Leverage fandom to produce social media content that is appropriate for each channel and connects with fans
- Join an experienced Creative team and work directly with Top Shot’s Head of Creative, Denise Schwenck, on campaigns/creative, while reporting to Dapper Labs’ Design Director, Courtney McNeil
