RSVLTS is hiring a Senior Art Director who’s as talented as Bob Ross, as energetic as Leslie Knope on a sugar rush, and as nimble as Bugs Bunny weaving through the Monstars in the paint. If that’s you, keep on reading.

As our creative department grows and we tackle more licensed apparel from the likes of Disney, Marvel, Nickelodeon, etc., we need an experienced Senior Art Director to help own and evolve our marketing design system—everything from seasonal campaigns to photoshoot direction, email layouts to social ads. If you haven’t guessed yet, we need someone with branding and marketing experience, plus the ability to run a photoshoot just as well as they can run a team of designers. No pressure.

This is an in-house position, you must be able to work out of RSVLTS HQ at least three days per week (but it’s a fun office, we have snacks and a couch and sometimes we watch movies while we work).

To apply: Submit your portfolio and resume.

So, what would your day look like?

  • Make us beautiful. Help design our 360° marketing campaigns, soup to nuts—everything from website assets to social to emails and more – to bring the RSVLTS visual identity to life.
  • Create original marketing concepts with a fresh visual approach to help meet business objectives and sell some damn apparel.
  • Oversee a team of designers, creators, photographers, and videographers, providing a north star vision and an overall eye for flawless assets, all while fostering growth
  • Maintain our design and brand standards as we grow into new markets, ad platforms, partnerships, and product verticals

What you bring to the table

  • Design chops. Starting off with the obvious here, but we need an AD who has mastered their skill to design some eye-catching work.
  • Photoshoot experience. We have a lot of product launches, which means we do a lot of photoshoots. We need someone with the eye and the confidence of a seasoned photoshoot floor commander.
  • Leadership qualities. You will be responsible for a team of talented designers and creators who you can mold to your will (that’s a villainous, creepy way of saying we want you to manage a team)
  • A solid communicator with the ability to to present work in an effective and comprehensive manner, to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, and collaborative environment. We’re constantly shouting ideas at each other and testing things on the fly. This office is a lot of fun, and speed always wins.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of relevant graphic or production design experience
  • 5+ years of art direction experience with a management component
  • Degree in Design, Visual Communications, Fine Art, Advertising, or related
  • Adobe Suite expertise – Photoshop, Illustrator
  • Experience with AfterEffects designing for motion or video editing a plus
  • A kickass portfolio
  • Knowledge of current and upcoming social platforms
  • Agency experience is not necessary but a strongly preferred
  • Apparel brand experience not necessary but a strongly preferred

What we bring to the table

  • Competitive compensation package
  • Benefits, including: flexible vacation, health care, dental, vision, 401K
  • A fast-paced, but casual and fun work environment with a group of smart, determined, cool-as-hell people
  • You’ll be an important member of a growing creative team
  • Autonomy. If you want to do something fun, do it.
  • We have a TMNT arcade game, sometimes we watch stuff like Star Wars or The Sandlot while we work, and we have a lifetime supply of Big League Chew in the office

About RSVLTS

There’s a serious demand for fun clothing based on sports and pop culture. The issue is that most of the apparel in this realm is unlicensed, leading to low production quality. RSVLTS, founded in Hoboken, New Jersey, turned a crushing cease and desist from a major movie studio into a licensing partnership. That one partnership was then spun into partnerships with all major movie studios, the WWE, NASA, and more. If you can think of it, we probably have it. Combining officially licensed designs with high-quality clothing, we’ve created a uniquely rad concept that our rabid, growing fanbase can’t buy up fast enough.

What is an entertainment career?

An entertainment career encompasses a broad spectrum of roles and activities within the creative industries, including film, television, music, theater, and digital media. These careers involve the creation, production, and distribution of content designed to entertain, inform, and engage audiences. Here’s a closer look at the various aspects of an entertainment career, what it involves, and the opportunities it presents.

Key Sectors in Entertainment

1. Film and Television: This sector includes jobs ranging from acting, directing, and screenwriting to more technical roles like cinematography, sound engineering, and editing. Professionals in this field work on movies, TV shows, commercials, and documentaries.

2. Music: Careers in music are diverse and can range from performing as a singer or instrumentalist to roles behind the scenes such as music production, songwriting, and managing artists.

3. Theater: Theater professionals may work as actors, directors, set designers, or playwrights. This field emphasizes live performances and often requires a strong background in performing arts.

5. Event Management and Promotion: This involves organizing concerts, premieres, sports events, and other entertainment functions. Careers here include event planners, promoters, and logistical support roles.

Educational Paths

Most roles in entertainment require a combination of formal education and hands-on experience. Degrees in film, theater, music, digital arts, or media studies are common among professionals in this field. However, many skills in the entertainment industry are honed through apprenticeships, internships, and on-the-job training.

Skills Required

A successful career in entertainment often demands creativity, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. Technical skills specific to an industry segment—like editing software proficiency for filmmakers or digital audio workstations knowledge for music producers—are also crucial. Soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and networking, are essential, given the collaborative nature of the industry.

Career Opportunities and Challenges

Entertainment careers can be incredibly rewarding, offering the chance to work on creative projects and sometimes gaining public recognition. However, these careers can also be highly competitive and unpredictable. Job stability can be an issue, as work is often project-based and may involve periods of unemployment between gigs. Moreover, the rise of digital technologies continues to reshape career paths in entertainment, creating new opportunities but also challenges for traditional roles.

Top directors command high salaries, especially when they take a percentage of a film’s earnings, which can lead to multimillion-dollar incomes for successful box office hits.

2. Producer
Producers play a crucial role in all aspects of film, television, and theater production. They manage the production’s financials, coordinate between the cast and crew, and ensure the project stays on schedule and within budget.
