The Role
You'll own creative execution across our high-production shoots - directing talent, leading treatments, and ensuring every frame serves a commercial purpose. You'll work hand-in-hand with Creative Strategists who bring performance data and audience insight to every brief. From there, your job is to translate that into a detailed shot list before shoot day - arriving with creative intent fully formed, not figuring it out on arrival - and execute it on set with confidence. You'll know within days whether your work is performing, and you'll use that feedback to get sharper.
