VIDEO COORDINATOR/PRODUCER

Do you live and breathe video, all mediums, all concepts? Do you dream up TikTok videos in your sleep? Are you equally conversant in hashtags and halftones, brand safe content, and safe title? Do you love NPPA style, but also shoot with your iPhone? Do you love office work, spreadsheets, and long email chains discussing whether a shoot can go for a fifth hour to accommodate a drone sequence? Okay, we know that last one isn’t as much fun, but we also love honest job descriptions. This position will work with leaders at Hearst Newspapers to handle up to 600+ video projects annually for our clients across 46+ properties. It is a chance to engage all parts of your personality – creativity, organization, people skills as this is client-facing and technical work, coordinating production and even doing some production yourself. And, while we’re a lot of fun to work with, our projects are even more fun. Just ask us about our Top Gun Real Estate ad or our Porcupine Car Dealer spots.
