Description

Reporting into the Head of Creative, the Experiential Creative Director is a new-business driven, hyper-collaborative leader who draws out the best ideas and oversees top-notch execution on behalf of Live Nation clients in the world of live music.
This Experiential Creative Director is skilled in understanding client needs and translating key objectives into creative concepts rooted in music that come to life throughout the fan journey (experiential, digital, video, and social). This person considers themselves a hybrid with experience in both art direction and copywriting working across various brands and platforms. She/He/They must have live event experience and is ahead of the latest innovations in the marketplace and integrates that knowledge into concepts that cut through the noise.
This person will oversee high-value brand pitches and is therefore responsible for managing the full creative process - from conceptualization, to pitch, and through execution. This Experiential Creative Director thrives on being client-facing with C-suite executives and has storytelling skills to effectively communicate the team’s work in a pitch presentation. Strong communication skills with both internal and external parties are key.
They are also responsible for creatively leading 3-5 of our top existing client partners in developing award-winning music marketing platforms. These sponsorship driven platforms should ultimately help our clients accomplish their business objectives and stand-out creatively in the marketplace to establish Live Nation as a leading music marketing partner.
Most importantly, the Experiential Creative Director possesses outstanding interpersonal skills, a relentless work ethic, and a spirit of collaboration that inspires those around them to create work that represents Live Nation as a creative force in music marketing.
Live Nation is a fast-paced environment. We’re looking for an Experiential Creative Director who can think on her/his/their feet, lead with a smile, collaborates well with account and strategy, and is eager to jump in and do the work when necessary. You will be a thinker and a maker, but also a motivator, mentoring writers, art directors, and designers on creative projects. The opportunities here are endless, so your creativity must be too.
What This Role Will Do
Hands-on creative direction for experiential, digital and traditional creative in the live music space. Everyone on the team is a roll your sleeves up do-er, not just a director.
Present and clearly articulate vision + strategy behind ideas to executive level clients and internal stakeholders
Guide, motivate, and mentor to ensure your team members perform at their peak and grow professionally. Lead and inspire teams to continually raise the creative bar and stay curious.
Educate and inspire colleagues from other Live Nation departments to help them understand, protect, and sell the strongest creative ideas to clients.
Create close partnerships across the company to work as a cohesive team and identify new opportunities for advertisers.
Curious about market developments and industry trends to identify potential partnership opportunities.
Create ideas that can become scalable executions (and revenue streams) in the future. Be willing and able to adapt with the business as it evolves over time.
