Immediate is home to some of the biggest and most loved consumer brands in the UK, including Radio Times, Good Food, and BBC Gardeners World magazine. Our trusted, quality content reaches millions of people a month across digital, print, video, podcasts, apps, and live events.

We're the destination for people looking to get more from the things they love. We're here to inspire, fuel, encourage, and educate.

Whether it's the big things or the little things; from reaching fitness goals to savoring good food, cultivating outdoor spaces, or enjoying the latest TV sensation - we help bring our audiences joy!

About the Role

The Imagine studio contributes to the winning and delivery of multiple millions of pounds of partnership advertising revenue each year, through creative, innovative content, and excellent client servicing. We support Immediate's central functions, including corporate creative work and marketing. Most importantly, we're a team that supports one another, where everyone has a creative voice and where you'll be supported and developed in your role.

We're looking for a proactive Studio Production Manager to lead the delivery of high-impact marketing campaigns for some of the UK's most trusted media brands, as well as the Nutracheck app. Based within Immediate's award-winning creative studio, Imagine, you'll coordinate fast-paced creative projects that directly drive the growth of our digital and print subscription business, reaching millions of engaged consumers every month.

This is a pivotal role requiring expert project management skills, a deep understanding of performance-driven creative, and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders with confidence and clarity. You'll be responsible for keeping projects on track - from brief to delivery - ensuring our creative teams have what they need to produce high-quality, effective content across digital, social, print, and video.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of creative marketing campaigns, ensuring they run to schedule, budget, and quality standards.
• Build and manage clear project plans in Basecamp, allocating tasks and managing workflows to avoid bottlenecks and ensure smooth delivery.
• Manage team pipeline and resource allocation to ensure effective workload balancing across all functions.
• Manage campaign budgets using our tracking tools including Harvest.
• Lead regular campaign status and progress meetings to ensure alignment, surface blockers, and track delivery milestones.

Creative Delivery Leadership

• Lead day-to-day coordination of Imagine's design, copywriting, video, and digital product teams, supporting the delivery of best-in-class creative assets.
• Organize brainstorms, creative reviews, and approvals to maintain creative momentum and quality.
• Own and manage the delivery of creative assets for internal brands such as Nutracheck, ensuring consistency, alignment with brand strategy, and timely execution.

Performance and Optimization Focus

• Apply knowledge of performance marketing - spanning paid social, display, email, and conversion-led design - to guide creative teams toward assets that deliver measurable results.
• Coordinate monthly reporting and performance tracking sessions with stakeholders to review and optimize creative campaign effectiveness.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement through test-and-learn principles, data insights, and optimization feedback loops.
• Report on campaign performance, translating data into actionable insights for internal teams and stakeholders.

Stakeholder Management and Collaboration

• Act as the central contact between Imagine and key internal stakeholders including Marketing, Editorial, Social, Product & Tech.
• Build positive, productive relationships across all levels, promoting collaboration and managing expectations with clarity and professionalism.
• Maintain strong cross-functional communication, ensuring alignment between creative and business teams across multiple departments.
• Translate complex brand goals and marketing strategies into actionable creative briefs for the studio team.

Commercial and Strategic Contribution

• Develop a deep understanding of Immediate's brand portfolio and audiences, with the ability to adapt creative strategies accordingly.
• Support the Imagine Studio in the delivery of other commercial client campaigns as required.
• Maintain awareness of Immediate's strategic priorities, particularly around digital subscriptions and user growth, and ensure creative output aligns with these goals.
