Working at HoG

We're a lot like Bonaparte, our Penguin mascot: majestic, cuddly and a bit awkward too. We are all passionate about the work, supportive with each other, and self-deprecating rather than judgemental.
You'll need a high tolerance to strong French accents
Bad pool players are preferred to preserve employee morale
Friday drinks (via Zoom or in-person; pending the current state of well... the world), and a yearly weekend away help with it too! Plus other things too small to be called out in a job offer, but still nice.
We have a life! We believe reasonable hours of intense work trump long hours of exhausted one - and that adapting hours to family or personal circumstances, or getting back the hours spent on longer shoot days should be a given.
We believe in paying every employee a living wage and were among the very first agencies to sign the Placement Poverty Pledge
We do strive for an inclusive and diverse culture, and need every staff member to bring their contribution and support the agency on this journey.
