Chicago Casting Calls & Acting Auditions

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.

The Creative Producer is the solution-oriented force behind an idea coming to life. They have an eye for composition and design, and they can also run with creative direction from their teammates. 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.

At SRW, our content is sometimes novel, sometimes fun, sometimes pretty, but always authentic. We create campaigns that inform, inspire, educate, or entertain…and in a perfect world, all of the above. The Creative Producer will work within SRW’s Creative Department and collaborate with Strategy, Account Management and Project Management teams through the creative process to produce effective content.

Benefits

About SRW:

A ragtag bunch of hooligans who just might be onto something, we quit agency life to help a broad range of clients do the same. We specialize in building and growing communities through content – specializing in the healthy food industry. We create and deliver these campaigns from concept to distribution, and earn consumer and media attention for our clients by creating useful experiences for their specific audiences.

Our culture doesn’t come from a book, it’s intrinsic to who we are. We believe people are more than one thing and we abhor the phrase “that’s not my job.” We are compassionate and fun to work with. We are adaptable. We ask (lots of) questions and listen to the answers. We do good work with and for good people. We work hard and have fun.

SRW offers equal opportunities for employment and advancement to all applicants and employees. Employment decisions are based on the principles of equal opportunity, individual qualifications, and merit. We believe the best creative ideas and results come from diverse perspectives that share a purpose. Why? Because, it reflects our values and makes good business sense. And we care: about each other, the work, and the world around us.
