[WEBTOON] Motion Designer / Content Producer (Freelancer)

✨ About WEBTOON Entertainment ✨

WEBTOON Entertainment is a global leader in entertainment, home to some of the world's largest storytelling platforms. We've revolutionized comics and visual storytelling for fans and creators alike with our pioneering mobile webcomic format.

Our CANVAS UGC platform empowers anyone to become a creator, while our growing roster of superstar WEBTOON Originals creators and series showcases the new face of pop culture through passionate fandoms. WEBTOON Entertainment adaptations can be found on major platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Crunchyroll, and we partner with industry giants such as Discord, HYBE, and DC Comics.

We're seeking a Motion Designer & Content Creator with a storyteller's heart and a filmmaker's instinct. You'll be someone who knows how to evoke emotion in under a minute, possesses a distinct creative point of view, a talent for comedy, strong copywriting/scripting skills, and expertise in video editing and motion graphics. A passion for humor, action, thrillers, and drama is essential. Whether it's a comedic skit, an emotional trailer, or a high-energy fight sequence, you know how to craft a resonant story.

With over 5 million followers across our social media channels, our work reaches a global audience of readers and artists. We collaborate with major entertainment brands and support in-person activations that connect creators and fans. Our creative team is at the forefront of entertainment marketing, and we're looking for innovative voices to engage our fans, promote our creators, and grow our audience.

You'll work closely with our Organic and Growth Marketing teams to bring the world of WEBTOON to life through bold, emotional, and fan-first social and digital content. If you're fascinated by how visual storytelling thrives on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, and perhaps even have your own online presence in the webcomic or fandom space, this role is for you. Bonus points if you voice your own content, characters, or are willing to be on camera.

🎬 What You’ll Do 🎬

• Concept, script, and edit short-form video content that tells a story, capturing audiences' attention with strong hooks and cliffhangers. You must be able to develop content across various genres, from punchy humor to edgy romance and fast-paced action.
• Collaborate with copywriters, designers, and art directors to create dynamic, character-driven content that feels native to each platform.
• Develop series promos, trailers, and explainer content that foster a strong connection between fans and WEBTOON's universe.
• Create expressive animations sourced from comic panels to elevate our characters, fictional worlds, and themes in surprising and delightful ways for fans.
• Seamlessly transition between producing high-quality motion design and quick-turn, unpolished videos for social media.
• Infuse your unique storytelling POV into projects to create engaging, thoughtful, and entertaining ads that don't feel like ads.
• Stay current with fan culture, animation trends, memes, and narrative formats popular with Gen Z and Millennial audiences.

🌟 Who You Are 🌟

• Possess 3+ years of professional experience in a creative agency, production company, or in-house entertainment team, ideally with experience in ad content, trailers, branded content, or entertainment marketing.
• A storyteller first, designer second: your primary focus is on pacing, emotion, and structure when creating.
• Strong copywriting/scripting background. You should be eager to experiment with new writing styles and formats.
• A clear, reliable communicator who can adapt to fast-paced production timelines and work closely with operations leads to deliver projects on time, on brand, and on budget.
• Proficient in Premiere Pro and After Effects, with a general knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition), along with additional animation or VFX tools. 3D animation is a plus.
• Comfortable with character rigging and has a strong comprehension of animation principles.
• A creative with a strong online presence or portfolio. Bonus if you've already built content or fan edits in the webcomic, animation, or fandom space.
• Equally confident collaborating with others or managing your own projects end-to-end.
• Passionate about comics, animation, gaming, or storytelling in all its forms.
• Bring humor, heart, and a creative eye to everything you make.
• A positive, adaptable teammate who creates from passion, not ego. You value a process that's as great as the output.
• Comfortable learning new skills and elevating yourself as a designer or writer to promote new ideas and enhance work quality.
