Executive Producer – Banners

Our client, a top Ad Agency, is hiring an Executive Producer. This role requires innovative thinking and a hands-on approach. They want someone who can lead a team, has a strong understanding of the technical side of digital production, and who can foster flawless execution in production. This person should have deep connections in the digital world, a highly collaborative attitude, and a commitment to doing whatever it takes to make great work. The bulk of the work is banner heavy, so we definitely need someone who is confident and experienced in the banner production process, and is also excited about continuing to work on banners 🙂 There are also other opportunities to work on digital experience campaigns (AR/VR, etc) and digital OOH campaigns too, but again the large majority is banners.
