Junior Ad Creative & Short Form Video Editor

Ghostnote is a fast-growing music startup based in Berlin. Since launching in 2025, our mission has been to create the biggest label you’ve never heard of. At Ghostnote, we create ambient music universes with their own identities — shaped by shared moods, passions, and repeat rituals.

We mix startup energy with a deep love for music, creative design, and community-building. While we’re data-driven and use technology to inform our concepts, we always trust our creative vision, building on years of experience creating global music brands. Right now, we are a team of 4, based in Neukölln.
