Media Zoo is a leading integrated agency with specialism in film, digital, learning and PR. We work with a range of clients from blue chips to challenger brands. We are the current EVCOM Production Company of the Year having won it for the second successive year.
The job:
You'll be joining a fast-growing team and be responsible for the creative approach and smooth production of a range of projects. You will take each project from client brief and creative treatment through to scripting and development, pre-production, shoot, post and delivery. The films will range from branded content, internal and external communications, PR, learning and promotional. What is consistent is each film we produce must convey a message in the most creative and engaging way possible.
The ideal candidate will have a varied production experience with some brand or communications background. They will have produced similar films to us and can clearly demonstrate they can take a project from brief through to delivery. This is also a client facing role and we are looking for the right balance of client management, producing background and creativity.

You will be able to interpret and interrogate a client brief and devise the best narrative, visually engaging and creative approach to solving it. You will be a communicator and a storyteller and enjoy the challenge of making films that resonate. You will be calm under pressure, demonstrate excellent attention to detail and professionalism.
The right candidate will be able to show a track record in project management, be hardworking, diligent and passionate about delivering high-quality content regardless of scope, budget and timeline.
