Senior Producer - Perm

About Our Client

We create big ideas, campaigns, activations and experiences designed to be amplified across every touchpoint.

We join the dots between people, brands and culture.

Our DNA

We solve problems. At the heart of any problem is a person. A real person. What they think, believe, want or need. We help brands to connect with them and the things they love.

We break formats. From the different blends of talent that call our agency home to the work we create, we’re continually reimagining how we engage, immerse and entertain audiences.

We build worlds. Placing narrative design and storytelling at the heart of everything we create. Building content engines that captivate our audience with stories that are designed to be shared.

We create culture. Not only are we inspired and influenced by the culturally rich world that surrounds us, but our ambition is to help our clients contribute to it in a meaningful way with the work we create.

Production Management

We’re a small and hugely talented team with a passion for creative and executional excellence, and an enviable client base to manage.

Within the production team, as a Senior Producer, your remit will span high-stakes production management, strategic planning, and senior client leadership. You’ll play a pivotal role in driving agency output to the highest creative and operational standards.
