Who We Are

For 25 years, Brand New School has helped brands find their visual voice — transforming design, storytelling, and experience into cultural resonance and commercial impact. Our integrated model unites strategy, creativity, and production to help brands like Meta, Pinterest, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and OpenAI transcend their categories and become benchmarks in culture and commerce.

We’re different by design — built to move seamlessly from idea to impact.

The Role

We are seeking a dynamic Design & Animation Producer for a full-time role at our New York studio – someone who can anticipate both client and internal creative team needs, engage directly with clients to intuitively interpret feedback, and think proactively not only to keep projects moving forward but also to help guide their destiny.

The ideal candidate understands challenges at their core and can collaborate with their team of artists and the production staff to solve them creatively and efficiently. They know when to act or ask for support, when to raise awareness, and when to be flexible or firm in service of the work.

Brand New School is a close-knit community united by a shared goal: to make exceptional work that will help shape the next chapter of our story.
