Agency Producer

As the Fact & Fiction Agency Producer, you have a deep love of storytelling and a producer's instinct for getting things made, whatever the medium. You'll work shoulder to shoulder with Creatives, Account, Project Management, and our internal and external partners to bring work to life across video, photography, print, branded product, experiential, digital, and post.

We're looking for a producer who can flex across formats, bring production thinking to the table early, and treat every project like the work depends on it. One day it's a video shoot, the next it's a print campaign, a run of branded merch for a client's online store, or an in-person activation. Creative, easygoing, quick on their feet, solutions-driven, and organized enough to keep high-quality work moving on time in a fast-paced environment. If that's just how you work, keep reading.

Day in the Life

• Own projects from estimate to final delivery across a range of formats: video and broadcast, photography, print and OOH, branded product and merchandise, experiential and events, digital, and post
• Manage a multitude of jobs at once without losing sight of the big creative picture or the smallest production detail, all while meeting agency standards and client objectives
• Build rapport and consensus across a wide range of stakeholders, internally and externally, including agency creatives, Account, and PMs
• Develop accurate estimates and schedules, then manage budgets against them and clearly communicate timelines, deliverables, and resourcing needs throughout the life of a project
• Line produce your own video and photo shoots when scope calls for it, from crewing and booking to call sheets and on-set management, while continuing to oversee your wider slate
• Manage print and product runs end to end: sourcing vendors, spec’ing materials, navigating proofs and quality control, coordinating fulfillment, and producing branded goods for client retail and e-commerce
• Produce experiential and event work, coordinating fabrication, vendors, logistics, and on-site execution
• Build, brief, and award work to external partners across disciplines, including creating RFPs, negotiating rates and terms, and treating every collaborator like an extension of the team
• Bring production thinking upstream, advising creative and account teams during concept and scoping on what’s possible and what it costs, so production is an additive voice in shaping the work rather than the team that just executes it
• Partner closely with our post-production team and help shepherd work through edit, finishing, and delivery
• Supervise and make informed decisions that drive production and post forward without sacrificing budget or concept
• Identify and troubleshoot communication gaps, logistical and scheduling challenges, and competing priorities, then allocate resources and mitigate the fallout
• Communicate production processes and best practices while continually hunting for efficiencies in time and spend
• Carry a working knowledge of industry production contracts, negotiate terms independently, and pull in legal when it matters
• Mentor junior team members

Here's what you need to get our attention:

• Bachelor’s degree in Film, Advertising, Communications, or equivalent work experience
• 4+ years of brand production experience, or equivalent range across formats, at an agency, production company, or in-house creative team
• Demonstrated range across more than one production discipline (e.g., video plus print, product, or experiential)
• Ability to travel (up to 20%)

Here's what will make us call you for sure:

• A true generalist producer who’s comfortable moving between a video shoot, a print run, a branded product drop, and an activation without missing a beat
• Strong business acumen and a clear understanding of how to hit a brand standard and a high aesthetic bar within set budgets and schedules
• Experience advising creative teams at the concept stage on production costs and execution options to land the best work for the most efficient timeline and budget
• Superior estimating, scheduling, budgeting, negotiating, and project management skills
• Comfortable managing small and large budgets across multiple concurrent productions
• Experience across live action, photography, VFX, and animation
• Print production know-how: paper and material specs, proofing, color, finishing, and vendor management
• Familiarity with product and merchandise production, from sourcing and sampling to QC and fulfillment, ideally for retail or e-commerce
• Experiential and event production experience, including fabrication and on-site coordination
• Solid grasp of usage and licensing, with the confidence to navigate those territories
• Exceptional presentation, verbal, and written skills
• Comfortable working through ambiguity in strategic and creative development without hand-holding or a road map
• Independent and quick on your feet, with a solution and a clear way to communicate it for every challenge
• A decision-maker with a track record of delivering on time and on budget
• Proficiency in MS Office and AICP budgeting
• A disciplined approach to managing projects, with the flexibility to adapt when things change

Not required, but it’ll give you an edge

• An established local and global network of world-class creative, production, editorial, motion, illustration, print, fabrication, and freelance partners
• Working knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
