Senior Creative Director - Homes.com Content
At CoStar Group, we have 20+ years' experience in leading and growing digital marketplaces. Just ask Brad Bellflower, Chief Change Officer at Apartments.com. After its acquisition in 2014, Apartments.com quickly turned into the most popular place to find a place. Proven success at the highest level - and we're doing it again with the new Homes.com.
Homes.com is a growing marketplace, reimagining the home search experience for consumers and agents alike. Homebuyers can get a look inside the heart and soul of the neighborhoods where they want to live. Not only that, but the platform is also purpose-built for agents to have access to innovative tools for servicing their clients and growing their business.
We are seeking a powerhouse Senior Creative Director who will lead the strategy, creative direction, and production for all content on the Homes.com site. Tens of thousands of videos, millions of photographs, tens of thousands of content rich pages with narratives and articles - all of them authentic, with no skimping on local flair. Up for the challenge?
You will have a large internal content team including creative directors, writers, videographers, photographers, editors, outside vendors and other production partners to support your creative vision as we continue to build out the Homes.com platform.
You will be responsible for curating purposeful and compelling visual narratives to truly showcase neighborhoods, schools, parks, condos and agent directories for Homes.com audiences. You will be hands on, building and leading a world-class team as they navigate the complexities of content production on an enormous scale.
This is it - the biggest challenge of your creative career. There's no place like Homes.com.
This role is based at our expanding innovative global campus in Richmond, Virginia.
