SENIOR PROMO PRODUCER – LIFESTYLE CHANNEL

Leave a comment

foxtel-150-150

This is a great one for alumni with a couple of years experience already under their belt within a producing role, working full time for Foxtel as part of their Lifestyle Channel brand.

Can you edit? Write? Produce? Direct? Can you pick up a camera and shoot rough and ready? Would you be willing to learn to pick up a camera?

Can you create video content for social?

How about a 30″ TV commercial?

A transmedia campaign across TV, Digital, Social and Print?

Could receive a creative brief and turn around a pitch in 48 hours to a sponsor client?

Looks like you’ve got some talent, then. Perhaps you’d be suitable to join one of Australia’s most eclectic, accomplished and award-winning creative teams.

The LifeStyle Group is looking for a gun creative with a passion for lifestyle, a quick & agile work ethic and a need to take risks.

You will work across four on-air LifeStyle Channel brands and the LifeStyle digital portal, taking briefs from the Creative Director and translating them into the kind of ads that would make a group of hungover parking attendants simultaneously break into uninhibited song simply from the beauty of your writing alone.

You will need to be a good editor, either by gift or experience. You need to be able to craft an engaging story in pictures, words, music, sound design, from instantaneous 5″ social spots to longer-form content up to 2 or 3 mins for the website, including a myriad of 30″ tv promos along the way.

You need to be able to write good, punchy copy. You need to get into the audience’s head and charm the pants off them.

You need to have a good conceptual mind. Translate crazy thoughts into cohesive, on-brand creative. You’ll need to able to take a sponsor client brief and turn it into a conceptual pitch that’s on-brand for them AND us. And then shoot that idea and turn it into a brilliantly clever suite of integrated promos.

You’ll need to be comfortable directing and have a cinematic eye, but also be able to shoot from the hip when needed to. If you can use a camera then it’s bonus.

You must have an innate understanding of brand. Know how to set your creative butterflies free within the confines of a well-defined brand.

Finally, you need to be a wonderful human being with your interpersonal skills on serious lock.

Can-do-attitude, organisation, attention to detail…of course you have those in spades. IN SPADES.

MUST HAVES:

At least four years’ experience as a content creative – Promo producer, digital content creative, etc
Three years’ experience directing
At least three year’s editing experience
Great AVID skills (knowledge of Premiere a bonus)
Good copywriting
Conceptual brain
A favorite superhero

What’s in it for you?

As well as a meaningful role working with a company that effortlessly connects Australians to all the stories they love, the Foxtel team has access to a great range of benefits including a free Foxtel subscription, discounts and cash-back offers from a long list of retailers, competitions and giveaways, and our health and wellbeing program.
