is a global brand house building, scaling and reimagining culturally relevant fashion, lifestyle and consumer brands.

Our portfolio include

s MISSGUIDED, SUMWON, BALR, Baby Phat, Playboy, AiiRZ, KiZN

an

d KSTM

.

In just a few years, we've grown into one of the fastest-scaling brand platforms in the industry by combining creativity, technology, AI, data and an agile supply chain to build brands designed for today's consume

r.

We're ambitious, entrepreneurial and operate with speed.

Every day we're building brands, acquiring businesses, launching new ideas and challenging how the fashion industry wor

ks.

The

RoleThis is not a traditional communications role.

Nor is it a traditional PR, marketing or social media posit

ion.

We're looking for an exceptional communications and storytelling leader to become one of the Founder & CEO's closest strategic part

ners.

Your primary responsibility will be building one of the most influential founder brands in fashion, business and AI, whilst ens

uring SUMWON S

TUDIOS develops a world-class external reputation alongsi

de it.

You'll spend a significant amount of time working directly with the Founder, capturing ideas, challenging thinking, identifying stories worth telling and building the systems that transform everyday conversations into long-term inf

luence.

The best ideas won't come from scheduled m

eetings.

They'll come from sitting in strategy sessions, travelling with the Founder, hearing product discussions, witnessing key business moments and understanding how decisions

are made.

This role is built on proximity, trust, judgement and exceptio

nal taste.
