The Creative Director will plan and execute multiplatform campaigns for Peacock’s large and growing collection of sports and live events, including Premier League, Golf, Football, Nascar, Olympics, Tennis, and more, as well as WWE (the full content library as well as monthly Premium Live Events).

Responsibilities include the development of creative strategies (pulling together research, audience insights, cultural insights, and creative insights into an actionable plan for the development of industry-leading and highly effective consumer campaigns), planning and executing asset capture/shoots, architecting multi-faceted campaign concepts that work across the entire marketing funnel, and working in partnership with marketing teams to ensure that campaigns stay on track, on-budget, and deliver on-key KPIs, with constant optimization based on data.

• Develop creative ideas to help position and market Peacock content around cultural milestones and events. Work with Sales/Trade/ Affiliate/Growth/Press partners on creative needs/assets and custom marketing elements.

Peacock has been the home of the WWE Network in the US since March 2021. It was revealed during WWE’s 2021 Q4 earnings call that 3.5 million paying NBCU Peacock subscribers have watched WWE content on the Peacock since the move, following previous reports 1 million US WWE Network subscribers had successfully migrated to Peacock.
