You should have a keen interest in exploring the space between branded content and short-form documentary, and the ability to respond to the needs of today’s digital audience.
As part of our tight-knit five-person team, you will be responsible for creating videos tailored to the commissioner’s requirements. You will play a key part in responding creatively to the brief, and will be able to use your extensive knowledge in the technical aspects of multimedia production for online environments.
