Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence. As the Art Director in the Brand Team, you are responsible for leading the art direction and creative vision for design and Brand initiatives for our cross-ocean Minecraft Franchise studios. You set the artistic vision for our Brand and design (out-of-game) while overlooking and ensuring consistency in collaborations across studios together with our Team Lead Senior Art Director and partner agencies. You generate ideas, set art direction based on briefs, and formulate creative art briefs, and direct partner agencies and creatives within our studios. The Brand Art Director needs to communicate and maintain the studios' artistic vision across art disciplines, work with Brand initiatives, and align it with its broader goals and ambitions. You report directly and work closely with our Senior Art Director, Creative Director, cross-studio stakeholders, and partner agencies. The key to this role is setting the art direction, directing, inspiring, and motivating the artist(s) working on Branding and design for the Minecraft Franchise. You will need to continually evolve, set, and iterate the overarching art vision for the studio's brand initiatives to succeed. Previous experience with Brand work is merited!
