Head of Marketing, Beast Games

MrBeast, Greenville, NC, United States

Renowned for revolutionizing digital content creation, Beast Industries encompasses a diverse portfolio of ventures that extend far beyond its origins on YouTube. With a mission to entertain, inspire, and create significant social impact, Beast Industries operates across various domains including digital media, philanthropy, consumer products, and innovative business initiatives. At Beast Industries, we believe in the transformative power of digital media and its potential to entertain, educate, and effect positive change. Our commitment to innovation, creativity, and philanthropy drives us to explore new frontiers, create unforgettable experiences, and build a legacy that inspires future generations.

Make a Show a Movement Beast Games is not just a competition series—it’s one of the most-watched streaming events on the planet. We’re looking for a marketer who can take that momentum and turn it into a global cultural franchise. Not through traditional campaigns. Through stunts, systems, and spectacles that make audiences feel like they’re part of the game.

Role The Head of Marketing for Beast Games is a hands‑on, high‑velocity senior individual contributor responsible for building and executing globally resonant, social‑first marketing that turns content into cultural phenomena. This role operates as both strategist and operator—personally driving campaign architecture, creative direction, and rapid execution while influencing cross‑functional teams without formal authority.

This is a 10‑month contract with the potential to extend or convert to full‑time based on business needs and performance.

What You’ll Do

Personally architect and execute global marketing campaigns across social, streaming, retail, and experiential channels

Design non‑linear marketing ecosystems—stunts, viral loops, gamified audience engagement, retail tie‑ins—where every touchpoint feeds the next

Turn Beast Games franchise launches into global cultural events using IRL activations, digital Easter eggs, and influencer‑led participation that makes audiences feel like competitors, not viewers

Apply a clinical understanding of viewer retention mechanics—knowing why a 10‑second hook works on YouTube but may fail on Prime Video, and how to bridge that gap across a multi‑week streaming rollout

Rapidly produce and iterate marketing assets aligned with cultural trends and platform dynamics—at algorithm speed, not Hollywood speed

Build lightweight systems and playbooks that scale output without creating founder bottlenecks or requiring approval on every asset

Operate as a bridge between creator vision and enterprise stakeholders—defending a social‑first, chaos‑embracing campaign to risk‑averse executives without losing the creative integrity that makes MrBeast work

Lead crisis response and real‑time narrative control during high‑visibility moments with a war room mentality and high emotional intelligence

Drive integration of Beast Games IP into commerce, partnerships, gaming, licensed merchandise, and cross‑platform experiences

Challenge ideas with data and conviction—kill initiatives with high vanity metrics and low business impact

What You’ll Bring

10+ years in entertainment, media, or consumer marketing with hands‑on, owner‑level campaign execution

Proven track record executing high‑impact, viral, or culturally significant campaigns—not just overseeing them

Deep expertise in social platforms, content dynamics, and audience retention mechanics across streaming and short‑form

Strong analytical capability to connect creative decisions to measurable business outcomes

Demonstrated ability to operate independently in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments where the playbook doesn’t exist yet

High emotional intelligence and thick skin—this role involves intense public scrutiny and close proximity to a creator at global scale

We’d Love to See

Experience with global streaming launches or major entertainment IP rollouts

Background in creator‑led or influencer‑driven businesses where the founder is the brand

Experience with gamified marketing, community‑driven growth loops, or participatory audience mechanics

Familiarity with IP monetization, licensing, retail integrations, or cross‑platform franchise management

Why MrBeast MrBeast is not just a media company. We are building the defining entertainment franchise of the internet era—one that reaches hundreds of millions of people, moves culture in real time, and is only getting started.

In this role, you will be the architect behind one of the most ambitious entertainment marketing challenges in the world: making Beast Games not just a show, but a global event that audiences participate in, talk about, and cannot ignore. You won’t be managing agencies or approving decks. You’ll be building the thing.

Contract: 10‑month contract‑to‑hire with hourly rate of

$75‑98 . No benefits, bonus, or equity.

Travel: up to 25% travel. During filming (May – end of June), you will be expected to be based in Greenville, NC.
