Reading through hundreds of applications submitted by exceptionally talented people, we've learned the importance of clarity. To some folks, “brand marketing” means launching a massive global campaign with drones, holograms, and a celebrity spokesperson. To others, it’s updating the brand book and calling it a day. It's different here. We're rooted in authenticity, fueled by optimism, and always more interested in connection than spectacle. At Life is Good, our story begins with the two visionary founders who continue to lead our mission and shape everything we do. We’re a growing, stable brand—not chasing disruption for disruption’s sake, and not seeking a sweeping transformation. Instead, we’re focused on something more grounded and meaningful: thoughtfully, steadily, and authentically expanding our community of customers and followers who believe in the power of optimism. Our budget, like our team, is intentionally small—but our imagination is anything but. Think of us less like a rocket ship demanding breakneck velocity and a massive stage, and more like a loved garden: planted with deep intention, grown with patience, and nurtured by people who know that meaningful growth comes from care and creativity, not chaos. What we say and do has meaning to the people who believe that Optimism is the most powerful way to live a long, healthy, happy life. What you and your team create together must be compelling and have lasting value. It won't be easy, it won't be perfect, but it will be good. As our VP of Brand Marketing, you’ll help us cultivate the next chapter of our brand journey—honoring the vision that started it all while finding fresh, resonant ways to share it with the world. Does your experience includes hands-on leadership of a growing customer-focused brand, marketing partnerships, community expansion, and creative output (social, copy, photography, graphics, and more)? We want to hear your story.
