This is a Sr. Producer role at a fully integrated advertising agency in NYC that works across their network to support all creative development and production. This team executes a large percentage of work for the agency as well as works to determine and support workloads with external partnerships.
This role will efficiently route various materials throughout the network to ensure that projects move in a timely manner.
This role is unlike typical agency production in that you will work with the producers at other locations of this agency. This integrated development team supports the network from ideation to prototyping to development execution.
Producers at this agency nurture the entire project. You are part of the strategic process and are encouraged to collaborate with value-adding ideas. As an integrated agency, our ideas live beyond the digital medium. You will have exposure to print, broadcast, radio, OOH and digital to see how the entire program fits together.
Creative strategy comes first. We’re seeking a highly knowledgeable producer who is passionate about finding solutions for creative execution.
Who you are
You are someone who shares links of creative sites, reads springwise for trend inspiration, values great digital innovation and knows a variety of options on how to get your client a CMS that meets their budgetary needs. You look at our client roster list and are full of ideas for how to improve the current strategy.
Your book list reads of designing for the social web, prototyping techniques, UX for project managers, information design planning and the art of client service.
You look at a website or banner project and can break down how it was built and how much it cost. It’s second nature.
Many may call you the new hybrid. We simply think that to be called a digital producer today requires a broad knowledge across the entire interactive field.
Your interest lies not in just project management, but what it takes to make a digital experience.
