Job description

The Role

The Brand Partnership Director will be responsible for running and managing a group of our brand partners in the Sports, Fashion, Lifestyle & Entertainment categories. You will oversee brand relationships, lead the development of highly creative branded content and entertainment campaigns, and work closely with clients to identify and deliver against their brand objectives.

You will collaborate closely with the rest of the OBB team based in Los Angeles, New York & London, but you will ultimately be responsible for the overall health of your client portfolio - creatively, strategically, and commercially. This means setting the vision for the work, inspiring internal teams, managing budgets, and ensuring flawless delivery.

We are looking for someone who can confidently navigate traditional advertising disciplines, brand sponsorships/partnerships and the rapidly evolving branded content/entertainment space - someone who can seamlessly move between creative ideation, talent partnerships, sponsorships, production, and client business strategy

Who You Are

You are an energetic and ambitious brand leader with a proven track record of delivering exceptional creative work for high-profile clients. You are equally comfortable discussing big-picture brand strategy, talent casting, and detailed production timelines. You know how to create the conditions for great ideas to flourish - and you're passionate about making work that earns attention and drives results. You know how to build trusting relationships with clients, while still pushing for creative excellence in non-traditional forms (i.e. branded content, entertainment, IP). You are proactive and are excited by tackling new challenges. You love making things, and making things happen. You are as comfortable on set as you are in a boardroom.

You will:

• Make things happen: Ensure work is delivered to the highest standard, every time.
• Make things better: Spot opportunities, solve problems, and push for stronger creative outcomes.
• Build strong relationships: Inspire trust and respect from both clients and internal teams.
• Behave glass half full: Maintain positivity and resilience in the face of challenges.
• Plan glass half empty: Anticipate risks, prepare contingencies, and take responsibility for outcomes.
• Be creatively passionate: Champion the work and inspire teams to push creative boundaries.

Why This Role at OBB/Bolded?

• High-profile brands: Work with some of the world's biggest brands across entertainment and advertising.
• Building something new: Join a team committed to building a disruptive, creative studio.
• One team culture: Join a team that values creativity, inclusivity, and pushing the limits of what branded content & entertainment can be.
• Cross-industry reach: Work across advertising, branded content, and entertainment simultaneously.
• Fast-growing: Our business is growing fast, and you will have an opportunity to develop quickly, with additional opportunities for those who deliver and demonstrate initiative, ambition, creativity, along with a strong work ethic.
