Coordinate with cross-functional teams and external talent (if needed) to prepare for shoots: collecting samples, scouting locations, prepping equipment and ensuring all production needs are met to execute efficiently and effectively.
• Partner with the Digital Marketing team to align content production with posting schedules and audience engagement strategies. Participate in cross-functional brainstorming sessions to develop new content ideas and participate in fast-moving social trends.
• Build and maintain an organized library of raw and edited assets for future use to maximize investments, as well as organized information on available sites and talent to leverage for future content needs.
• Stay curious – experiment with new production techniques and tools to create innovative content.
• As part of the in-house Media team, cross-train on other productions like live broadcasting, 3D animation and lifestyle content shoots to build new skills and support team initiatives.
