Associate Creative Director (Duo or individual)

Position Title: Contingent

External Description:

Associate Creative Director (Duo or individual for EA FIFA Marcom) 6-month Contract 

Are you football crazy or soccer mad? Whatever you call it, we don’t mind. A pure appreciation for the game, the goals, the glory, even those delayed celebrations from an eventually correct VAR call. If football feels like a spiritual calling, then consider yourself called. The EA SPORTS FIFA Marcom team is on the hunt for a brilliant senior art director/senior copywriter team. We know attacking duo’s like Drogba and Lampard are rare nowadays, but if you come as a creative, idea-mad pair - we want to hear from you. And if you’re more in tune with the modern game as the solo, symphonic lead attacker - a la Mbappe - we want to hear from you as well. We’re looking for whip-smart talents with the drive, passion, and team spirit to go the whole way.  

This is a dream role to work across various creative campaigns for EA SPORTS FIFA. 

You will play an instrumental role in the following:

• Develop the core creative idea and messaging framework alongside FIFA marcom team members 
• Drive the overall messaging and visual look and feel across various brand campaigns under the guidance of FIFA's creative director and senior leadership
• Work alongside internal team members/agencies to develop treatments and creative responses that inspire the best ideas and execution.
• Ensure creative ideas are well-articulated and on-brief working closely with the marcom strategy / production teams 

This team will support writing the ideas, designing the tone, look, and vision for marketing content across the franchise including FIFA Ultimate team campaigns, VOLTA, career mode, and various FIFA products. They will also be expected to manage quality within all content produced, help drive the creative from start to finish.
