About the Team:
Gen Studio is Gen Digital’s in-house creative team, developing campaigns, social content, product storytelling and launch creative for our family of brands, including Norton, Avast, LifeLock and MoneyLion. Bringing together creative direction, writing and design, we take work from initial concept through to execution—all within one company, with a distinct voice and identity for each brand.

Team Leadership:

Hands-On Direction:
- Stay close to the work at the right moments, especially during briefing, concept development, reviews, pitches, and major launches
- Step in as a creative lead on the most visible or strategically important assignments
- Help teams solve complex creative problems quickly and effectively
- Present work with confidence and clarity to senior stakeholders and cross-functional…
