We hope you’ll enrich our team with your enthusiasm and passion, both for games and for life.

About this Role

The Marketing Artist role at Playco is pretty unique compared to at other companies. We work on a wide variety of projects with varying styles and game mechanics. You’ll be able to explore different genres and learn new techniques.

At the same time they will be collaborating with their fellow Marketing Artists to make sure they are aligned with the high standards we strive for. We are currently looking for both Motion Graphics and Static artists.

  • Collaborate with stakeholders and the marketing team to generate out-of-the-box ideas that will push our marketing art to new heights!

Responsibilities

  • Motion Graphics Artist: Create multiple short ad videos per week that are built to marketing specifications, highly-polished, and include sound.

  • Respond well to artistic direction, but get the work done with minimal supervision.
  • Manage responsibilities across multiple projects.
  • Meet with teams daily to sync on current status, and discuss upcoming projects.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years industry experience in mobile, social, or free2play games.
  • Excellent teamwork skills.
  • Must have experience with Adobe Creative Suite, particularly After Effects (Motion Graphics Artist) or Photoshop (Static Artist). Knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash/Animate, and 3D modeling software are all a huge plus!
  • Ability to understand, internalize, and communicate high-level objectives to team members.
  • Ability to iterate quickly and adhere to a production schedule.
  • Style versatility is a must-have. We work on a range of games whose styles can vary from cute and casual, to hardcore and realistic.
  • Experience creating video content or static content that follows current social media trends.
  • Motivated, driven, and excited about design and game art.
