We own and operate a broad array of businesses engaged in recorded music, music publishing, merchandising, and audiovisual content in more than 60 countries. We identify and develop recording artists and songwriters, and we produce, distribute and promote the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful music to delight and entertain fans around the world.
 

Famehouse, a division of UMG, is the preeminent leader in D2C solutions in music, defining & delivering the industry’s best-in-class service to connect artists with their fans. Established & headquartered in Philly, Fame House powers eCommerce for UMG’s labels, artists, and Bravado, along with a select roster of 3rd party clients. Our success & culture is fueled by collaboration, both within FH and with our partners. We are passionate about the impact of eCommerce for artists, providing a full service solution to grow an artist’s owned business including strategy, creative, storefront merchandising, fulfillment, customer service, technology, and more.

How we LEAD:

Merchandise and e-commerce is part of the fabric of music culture. For artists, it’s a way to develop and further articulate their brand. For fans, it’s another pathway to connecting with an artist and the culture they represent.

The Digital Brand Designer is responsible for the development and execution of Famehouse’s company brand across digital platforms and communications. This role ensures that Famehouse’s visual identity is expressed consistently, intelligently, and impactfully across owned and operated websites, sales materials, presentations, and digital brand touchpoints.

Embedded within the Design & Direction team, this role partners closely with leadership, Partner Strategy, Marketing, and Industry teams to translate business objectives into cohesive brand experiences. The Digital Brand Designer will maintain and evolve the Famehouse brand system, ensuring that all outward-facing materials reflect the company’s creative ambition, operational sophistication, and cultural leadership.

This is a systems-driven design role for someone who understands that brand is not just aesthetic—it is clarity, consistency, and credibility across every interaction.

  • Ensure brand consistency across typography, layout, motion elements, and digital components.
  • Collaborate with UX/UI teams when corporate web functionality intersects with brand presentation.
  • Create adaptable toolkits and templates to improve efficiency and reduce one-off design requests.
  • Contribute to periodic brand refresh initiatives as the company evolves.
  • Maintain organized brand assets and documentation to ensure accessibility and clarity across teams.

Bring your VIBE

  • 5–8 years of experience in digital brand design within agency, technology, fashion, or creative environments.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating corporate brand systems, presentation design, and digital web executions.
  • Deep understanding of typography, layout systems, and digital brand consistency.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
