Comic Book Jobs: London Calling
London is one of my favorite cities in the world. I’ve been over there a bunch of times, eaten the food, sipped the tea and guzzled many pints of ale.
And while I can only dream of working there, you might actually be able to do it. Here are three chances.
These jobs are mostly through agencies and it’s all a big secret who the company is doing the hiring, but if you’re really interested, you’ll find out soon enough.
One such unnamed company - a gaming company - is looking for a Content Coordinator in Marketing. Among the many responsibilities listed is: “Represent first and third-party content providers and organise promotional activities for new and current content; Work closely with Third-Party relations department to facilitate publisher requests for price promotion and in-store marketing; and cross promote game, comics and video categories for mutual benefit.”
Another unnamed British company is looking for a Brand Assurance Rep. This is just a part-time, Wednesday-Friday three-month contract and involves working on product approvals.
There are a lot of paperwork functions listed, but this one stuck out: “obtain all necessary third party approvals from Artists, Sales, Marketing, Senior Management, Production, Advertising/Publicity and Talent, and DC Comics in New York.” What’s that all about, Alfie?
And finally, there’s an unnamed Children’s Book Publisher in central London that’s looking for a Children’s Fiction Designer.
The usual design skills and expertise are required, but I thought this was interesting: “a background in children's publishing, magazine or comics design...would be highly advantageous.”
Good luck, job seekers!
