Job Position(s): Creative Director, A/V — Apple TV Sports Marketing - Jobs at Apple

Apple TV is hiring a Creative Director, A/V for its Sports Marketing team, based out of Culver City, California. This role sits inside Apple TV’s in-house marketing department and is responsible for conceiving and overseeing audio/visual campaign creative across the company’s growing sports content slate, from MLS Season Pass to Friday Night Baseball and beyond. It is the kind of position built for a seasoned creative leader who has spent years developing campaign work in the sports broadcast or streaming television space and knows how to take a concept from brief to final delivery.

About the Role

The Sports Marketing team at Apple TV operates at the intersection of live sports rights and streaming platform promotion, producing campaign assets that serve both acquisition and retention goals. This Creative Director, A/V will work across trailers, broadcast spots, digital content, and tentpole sports marketing moments, coordinating with internal brand teams, outside agencies, and production partners. Day to day, that means reviewing cuts in post-production sessions, giving notes on audio mix and picture edit, and aligning creative output against campaign strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end creative development of A/V marketing campaigns for live sports and sports programming across the Apple TV platform.
• Direct editorial teams through the post-production workflow, providing clear and specific notes on picture edit, color, music, sound design, and graphics.
• Oversee concepting and execution of broadcast and digital spots, including long-form trailers and short-form social cuts for episodic television and live event programming.
• Partner with rights holders, leagues, and talent representatives to navigate clearances, usage rights, and on-camera approvals in a sports media context.
• Maintain creative consistency across campaign touchpoints, from in-app placements to out-of-home and broadcast network media buys.
• Manage external production and post-production vendors, holding them to timeline, budget, and quality standards throughout the campaign lifecycle.

What You Bring

• 10 or more years of A/V creative direction experience, with a clear track record in sports marketing, streaming television, or broadcast network campaigns.
• Deep fluency in post-production, including editorial, color, VFX finishing, and audio workflows at the agency or studio level.
• Experience working directly with sports leagues, broadcasters, or streaming platforms on live event marketing creative.
• Proficiency reviewing and directing work inside standard post tools including Premiere Pro, Avid, and Resolve, even if not cutting yourself.
• A portfolio that demonstrates original campaign concepting, not just execution of inherited creative briefs.

Why This Role

Apple TV holds major live sports rights and is actively expanding that footprint, which means this Creative Director, A/V role carries real creative stakes on properties that draw significant viewership. The in-house team structure gives this position direct influence over output rather than working through layers of agency approval. Apple TV’s marketing operation is resourced at a level that allows for genuine production quality on campaign work.
