Company mission
To empower creativity and connection in a digital world.
Role
Who you are
- An exceptional portfolio or showreel that speaks for itself: strong motion design skills, a deep understanding of animation principles, and sharp creative thinking
- Experience creating performance marketing creatives, user acquisition ads, or mobile advertising is a strong plus
- A curious creative mind and a genuine obsession with the psychology behind what makes people stop scrolling, click, and install. You follow the trends, you have ideas, and you take full ownership from concept to final product
- A strong visual eye. Motion is at the core of the role, but you know how to combine typography, composition, color, and imagery into compelling marketing assets before bringing them to life through animation
- Extensive knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, especially After Effects
- Fluency with AI tools as part of your creative workflow is a plus, whatever gets you to the best result, fastest
- Someone who thrives in a remote environment, takes initiative, communicates clearly, and does their best work as part of a small, high-performing team
What the job involves
- We're looking for an exceptional Motion Designer who loves coming up with ideas just as much as bringing them to life
- Our Marketing Creative Team is responsible for introducing Highrise to the world. Every week we launch new creative experiments across Meta, TikTok, Google, and more, testing new stories, hooks, and formats to discover what gets people to install, or come back to, Highrise
- We're not chasing pretty animations. We're chasing creatives people can't scroll past
- You'll have immense creative ownership. We trust you to shape ideas, bring them to life, and constantly explore what resonates with our audience
- You'll constantly experiment with new angles, build on previous winners, and turn creative learnings into the next high-performing ad
- This is a high-output, high-reward role for someone who thrives on speed, iteration, and seeing their work go live in front of millions
- Create high-performing animated and static marketing creatives for Meta, TikTok, Google, App Store, Google Play and other paid channels
- Own the entire creative production process end to end, from ideation to final output, including creating or sourcing visual assets, animation, editing, music selection, and applying sound effects
- Develop fresh concepts, hooks, and visual directions for new ad creatives. You set the idea in motion
- Continuously explore new angles, visual styles, formats, and creative approaches to find what resonates with our audience
- Turn creative learnings into stronger concepts, fresh variations, and higher-performing ads, week after week
Our take
The popularity of virtual worlds is on the rise, with immersive gaming and social experiences more accessible than ever. As the parent company of Highrise and Everkskies, Pocket Worlds designs and builds metaverse communities to bring people together in new ways.
Through Highrise, it offers a virtual world where people make avatars and create relationships. Impressively, this has now amassed over 40 million users. The company's 2021 acquisition of Everskies, a pixel doll community, added a new world to its offering.
Moving forwards, Pocket Worlds has continued to launch new capabilities to serve its users. For example, Highrise Studio and Highrise 4.0 were introduced to make it easier for creators to build and monetize virtual experiences.
