Exciting jobs in the virtual fashion industry
January 26th, 2009Metro Media Group is a new fashion production company dedicated to quality events, publications, and photography showcasing the best in virtual fashion. We’re looking for people to join our team… if you love fashion, are interested in working in this exciting field, and are dedicated, please send an application in!
Positions:
→ advertising manager
You’ll be working with existing and new clients to sell space on the online magazine or in-world sponsorship opportunities. You will have to be organized and have a good memory. A valid email address with your SL name is necessary, as is a good rapport with potential ad customers. Experience not necessary.
→ marketing/pr director
You’ll be working fairly closely with me and the art director to develop ways to get the company noticed and to entice new customers. You might have ideas for an ad campaign for the company, a concept for a special in-world event, or help out with clients’ businesses as well. Thinking outside the box is a must. Design skills not necessary, but creativity is good. You should be able to write a press release in English. Experience preferred.
→ account services manager
You’ll be the public face of the company as far as clients are concerned. You liaise with clients, addressing their concerns and needs, collecting information, and helping them choose which services meet their needs. You’ll be the middle of the web of staff, where everything comes together. Friendly and positive people should apply. You should love fashion and talking to designers. It’s not about badgering designers with notecards and “zomg hold a show with us!” but about helping them make the right choices for their fashion business. Experience is not necessary but keeness is. This is a bit of a time commitment.
→ art director
You’re a skilled and established graphic designer in RL and have experience with SL photography and texturing. You’ll be working closely with me and the marketing/pr director to develop ad campaigns, show themes, stage designs, promotional flyers, and more. Photoshop is necessary, HTML/CSS an asset. Once you’ve fleshed out the overall look and feel for something, design production can be passed off to another designer or photographer. Experience in graphic design necessary.
→ event producer
You’ve got experience with both show production and walking the runway. You know what works and what doesn’t to keep lag down and the audience happy and entertained. You can choreograph the stage, wrangle models, set the mood for the event, and contribute ideas to the art director for events. Experience necessary.
→ accountant
You’re super organized and good with numbers. Once every few weeks or so you’ll take all the data from everyone and tell us how we’re doing — where improvements can be made in spending, what the profit is, etc. This role is important because all exclusive staff have a cut of the profits. Experience and Excel an asset. This job, while important, isn’t a huge time-spender.
We also have contractual positions available for graphic designers, photographers, and fashion writers. Please note we do not need models of either gender and will not accept applications for modelling.
How to apply:
- Create a new notecard and name it Metro Media Group job application [YOUR NAME]
- Copy the following text and paste it in the notecard, responding where indicated
- Send the notecard back to Alaska Metropolitan in world
