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.

  • 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.
