Vice President, New Business

Hollywood, CA - Hybrid

Art Machine, a division of Trailer Park Group, is a fully integrated advertising agency dedicated to building fans for brands and entertainment properties. We have built a great reputation on award-winning creativity, great service, and a fun and energetic culture—and we may be looking for you to join our team! 

Art Machine is looking for one dynamic individual to research, identify, prospect, and land new business opportunities to help grow our brand division.

The VP of New Business Development is a senior leadership role working in partnership with our Executive Creative Director and Account Director to drive new client business. We have a strong account team with a track record of growing relationships in a post-pitch stage, and that team will inherit and own clients, once won.

ABOUT US

Art Machine was formed in 1999 as a digital and print entertainment agency. In 2007, to diversify, we began working with brands and merged with entertainment agency, Trailer Park. Over the years, Art Machine has worked clients like Universal Theme Parks, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, the LA Rams, San Diego Zoo, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Kumho Tire, and the LA Clippers.

WORK MIX

Our mix of work has varied over the years to include broadcast, print, social, digital, brand identity and content. In 2018, based on internal changes at our agency, we pulled back on building brand, but are now re-starting that initiative. One of the advantages to our parent company, Trailer Park Group, is that so many disciplines (from editorial to motion to print to director needs) are all in-house.

CULTURE

We have a fun, energetic and fast-paced culture (which we all thrive on) – but have also built our brand business organically– and our culture reflects that. We respect individual talents while always identifying as a TEAM first. We share a desire to build campaigns that generate buzz for clients, which leads to growth for them and for us. We are open to clients in any industry, both B2B and B2C. Our focus is on exceptional creative, at lightning pace, with humility.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
