What’s happening?
We’re looking for an experienced Creative Producer with a strong experiential agency background to join our Production team.
This is an agency-side production role, working closely with our Creative Department, Designers and Client teams to bring ambitious ideas to life across experiential campaigns, activations, events and brand experiences.
The Creative Producer will take projects from early creative development through to delivery, bringing strong production expertise, creative thinking and a collaborative approach. The role will involve working with trusted third-party production partners, suppliers, fabricators and technical specialists, with a preference for building strong, long-term relationships with key production partners who can support projects across multiple disciplines.
The successful candidate will demonstrate the following key attributes:
Support the production of experiential campaigns, activations, events, installations and brand experiences from concept through to delivery.
Work closely with the Creative Department and Designers to understand creative ambition and develop practical production solutions.
Partner with Client teams to ensure projects are delivered against agreed objectives, timelines and budgets.
Develop production plans, timelines, budgets and schedules, managing projects through each stage of delivery.
Identify and brief the most appropriate trusted production partners, building long-term relationships where possible rather than creating multiple supplier relationships for individual projects.
Manage external production partners, suppliers, fabricators and technical specialists to deliver high-quality work.
Build and maintain a strong network of preferred production partners across experiential, fabrication, technical and event production.
Manage budgets, quotations, costs and production spend, ensuring projects are delivered commercially.
Identify production challenges and opportunities early and develop effective solutions.
Coordinate multiple workstreams and stakeholders across complex projects and tight timelines.
Support creative development and pitches with production expertise, feasibility, supplier knowledge and indicative costs.
Oversee production through to installation, live delivery and de-rig, ensuring the creative vision is delivered to the required standard.
Manage production contracts, supplier agreements and associated documentation, ensuring all terms are agreed ahead of delivery.
Ensure appropriate insurance, compliance and production cover is in place across all projects, working closely with internal teams and third-party partners.
Maintain clear communication across Creative, Design, Client and external production teams throughout the project lifecycle.
Ideal Experience Required:
Experience as a Creative Producer within an agency environment, ideally across experiential, integrated or brand experience.
Proven experience delivering physical brand experiences, activations, events, installations or pop-ups.
A strong understanding of the creative development process and how ideas are translated into physical experiences.
Confident working with creative teams and contributing production thinking from an early stage.
Experienced in briefing and managing third-party suppliers and production partners.
Strong project management, organisational and commercial skills.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Calm, proactive and solutions-focused, with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities.
A strong network and understanding of the experiential production landscape.
Passionate about delivering high-quality creative work and exceptional experiences.
Join us and help make an impact.
Together, we’ll set the bar, cheer each other on and multiply your potential.
