Motion Designer
As a Motion Designer, bring Fanatics Betting & Gaming's social content and creative storytelling to life through engaging, innovative, and culturally relevant motion design across Fanatics Sports & Casino and FanApp.
In this role, you'll work closely with our Social and Content Team to develop and execute motion-driven content across always-on social, real-time sports moments, original programming, serialized content franchises, and larger brand campaigns. You'll help transform creative ideas into entertaining, visually compelling content designed to capture attention and resonate with sports fans across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, and X.
We're looking for someone who does more than execute creative briefs. You'll be expected to proactively bring fresh ideas to the table, pitch new concepts, experiment with emerging formats, and identify opportunities to make our content stand out. Whether you're developing an original motion concept, elevating an existing video, or reacting to a viral sports moment, you'll play an important role in shaping how our brand shows up on social.
Success will be measured by your ability to:
- Proactively develop and pitch creative ideas, motion concepts, and new content formats that elevate our social presence.
- Have a go-getter mindset. You spot the trend and then create vs. waiting for the ask to come in.
- Create high-quality, engaging motion graphics and video content that capture attention, drive engagement, and perform across social platforms.
- Serve as a reliable creative partner to our Social Programmers, Creatives, and Producers, providing motion design support across daily content, serialized programming, and larger campaigns.
