Job description

We’re looking to bring on board a full-time creative who is incredibly passionate about developing cinematic, engaging, and ultimately entertaining content for our clients. We’re looking for an individual that has a good wealth of experience working on projects and can help shape awesome videos for clients.

We work with a lot of different industries, each of which has its own specific requirements; whether it be online videos, advertisements, or animation. Although we have identified areas that we are significantly strong with, we hope that the ideal candidate would significantly strengthen and support other elements of our video business through a proactive attitude, depth of knowledge, and creative thinking.

To give you a better understanding of what you’ll be involved with, you’ll be responsible for everything within the creative process. This could start from creative ideation and pre-production, hands-on camera operation, all the way up to editing and delivery. Our team will work together on every project to promote an inclusive and collaborative process; however, you will provide a significant contribution to the creative process to ensure that not only are the client’s specifications met, but also exceed expectations.

Location: Cardiff, UK

Type: Full-time

What you'll be up to
  1. Improving our work’s overall design/creative output and quality by supporting the ideation process for key projects.
  2. Taking time to understand the complexities and intricacies of clients and their needs to understand how we can add value and inspire.
  3. Confidently sharing creative ideas through effective and compelling storytelling to maximise impact.
  4. Inspiring and encouraging creativity from all within the agency.
  5. Contributing to the development of innovative and original concepts for each project, including the creation of treatments, storyboards, mood boards, and various other pre-production elements.
  6. Filming in different environments across South Wales and the UK.
  7. Having significant input over the creativity of each project.
  8. Undertaking post-production for each project, including editing, colour grading and delivery to the highest standard and brand guidelines, and delivering exports tailored to the specific channels.
  9. As we’re a small but growing company, there’s the possibility of overlap in your role responsibilities. Our ideal candidate would embody our company values and want to grow with us.
What we need
  1. An innovator with an impressive conceptual outlook and the focus to see projects through from concept to delivery.
  2. Experience working within the film industry, or creative agency.
  3. Evidence of strong visual skills and creative thinking.
  4. Creative and technical knowledge of filmmaking.
  5. A natural, impactful storyteller.
  6. A real passion for innovation, and a desire to continuously learn about and share emerging trends.
  7. An understanding of video workflow, file types and codecs, pre-production and post-production.
  8. Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
  9. Strong knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and related applications in the Adobe Creative Suite.
  10. Strong knowledge of DaVinci Resolve.
  11. Able to work on multiple tasks and deliver to tight deadlines.
  12. Happy to network around the business and find ways to support other areas with video.
Perks of the job
  1. We don’t believe in complacency. We’re creatives, and risk-takers.
  2. We believe that the company should feel like a home from home. That means no strict dress code, taking time out when you get a creative block, and having the freedom to explore different ideas.
  3. Flexible working hours. We get that life doesn’t stop when you’re at work, and we want to make sure that we’re fully supportive of our employees’ lifestyles. As our productions don’t always conform to “9-5”, we expect the same support in return.
  4. Work from home days.
  5. We’re dog lovers, and nothing’s better than having a pooch in the office.
  6. We have a love of cinema, and constantly challenge opinions to promote creativity.
  7. Significant growth opportunities. We want to support our staff in achieving their personal and professional goals.
  8. We believe in supporting young creatives through work experience, and other career pathways.
