Who We Are

Untold Fable is a global content production company challenging the way things are done to change them for the better. It’s not an easy road, but we’re not here for that. We’re here to make diversity in our industry the norm, not the exception; we’re here to work in completely new ways and to show how purpose and commercial success go hand in hand. This mission, coupled with our creative and production expertise, has cemented relationships with the world’s biggest brands, from Nike and Meta to Stella Artois and Bumble. Our varied projects will immerse you in diverse and fascinating subjects. So far we’ve delved into fitness, female health, film, finance, food, dating, education, music, alcohol.

Everything we want for our industry is reflected in Untold Fable itself. We support and champion each other internally as much as the production talent we commission. We foster an empowered culture where different people and perspectives can thrive at every stage of their careers; open minds are welcome, egos are not. We operate a hybrid, flexible working model, coming together in our amazing office in Clerkenwell, London and Brooklyn, New York, 1-3 days per week.

Our client roster is growing each month working with companies such as: Nike, Bumble, HSBC, Tripadvisor and Meta.

Untold Fable is proud to be part of The AnalogFolk Group, therefore this role will at times collaborate with members of the AnalogFolk team working alongside strategy and creative to deliver brilliant work. Untold Fable has its own client base as well as the work we do in collaboration with AnalogFolk.

The Role

You are a highly skilled Senior Editor with strong motion graphics capabilities and a deep understanding of the entire post‑production pipeline.

You excel in short‑form commercial and branded content and stay ahead of editing trends and technology across all social platforms. You can confidently run projects end‑to‑end, work collaboratively when needed, and creatively problem solve, whilst respecting budgets and timelines.

Your design sensibilities are grounded in strong conceptual thinking, visual storytelling, and brand alignment. You are detail‑oriented, organised, an excellent communicator, and capable of managing both your own projects and contributing to department‑wide operational improvements.
