Description

Ragtag bunch of hooligans seeks a multi-talented creator to produce, edit and animate integrated campaigns for health, wellness and better-for-you food brands.

They have a creator-first mentality and enjoy jumping from shooting to editing to motion graphics for all types of content, including emerging platforms like TikTok. Ultimately, the Creative Producer dives into the details of the day-to-day work, explores different ways to execute creative concepts and takes charge in the studio to make it happen.
