FreeLists / webproducers / [webproducers] JOB: Sr. Interactive Producers NYC and AMSTERDAM (freelance)

[raina kumra <raina_post@xxxxxxxxx>]

Notice that Wieden+Kennedy New York & Amsterdam 
http://wk.com/ and  is seeking some freelance
producers (though for the right person this could
eventually become fulltime). We will be concentrated
on brand experience and campaign sites, never
corporate websites. 

Please send a detailed cover letter, resume and online
portfolio or list of links to: raina.kumra@xxxxxx 
For Amsterdam please send resumes and online portfolio
to: tom.dunlap@xxxxxx

Title: Interactive Producer -- Mid - Sr. Level
Location: New York,NY & Amsterdam, Holland
Type:  Freelance to Fulltime

Note: We are building out the new interactive division
of a top, established, and reputable creative shop 
based in New York. Clients include Nike, ESPN, ABC and
Sharp, EA Games to name a few. 

 Looking for up to 5 interactive producers to join the
newly-formed online arm of one of the most respected
creative shops on the planet. This is an amazing job
opportunity to work with some of the most innovative
people in the world on some of the greatest brands. We
want our producers to participate in creative and
solutions thinking, to get these project designed,
developed and produced in a turnkey style.  I can
promise you'll find great opportunities at this agency
to see your ideas come to life, both creatively and
when experimenting with technology. We'll be working
with our media clients as well, doing a lot of
cross-over between television promotion and
interactive advertising as well as mobile applications
whenever appropriate

We want to speak to Producers at any level, because
there is enough work to go around:  Senior Producer,
Producer, Associate Producer- interactive genius and
ability to create solutions across platforms will be
valued overall. 
 * So when you apply please state which position or
level you think you are at*

Agency experience is a must, though if you've worked
on blue chip clients as a freelancer you will be
considered.
You should be very comfortable discussing technology
with clients, and your portfolio must reflect work
with a heavy flash component. Mobile experience is a
plus. All producers will be expected to produce IA,
and demonstrated experience is neccesary. 

If you're  into developing beautiful and entertaining
interactions (advertising, online games, video, 
mobile apps) to truly engage consumers (to the point
that they forget they're  seeing advertising), then
you're the right person for this. We are hoping to
find people that have independent research and
developments as well - who can bring experimental
thinking and opinions to the table. 

You will be expected to get your hands dirty. Jumping
into all night brainstorms, last minute QA and
sometimes make mockups for clients (ie ability to
program in flash as well, will put you in the top of
the clients)

This agency is committed to only staffing the best
within its interactive department. If you're craving
inspiration and a chance to break out of a
'traditional' producer role and you have the chops,
this is the place for you. 

To get hired you must:

* Be original.  
* Be innovative. 
* Be a problem solver.
* Be extremely talented and  have work that shows off
that talent. (hint: get your online portfolio in 
shape).
* Juggle multiple projects, self-motivated, have a
positive  attitude.
* Be passionate about interactive, advertising, and
creative.
*  Work hard, have fun, and most of all have the
desire do the best work in the  world.

translating creative ideas and concepts into
prioritized project  plans and deliverables for

scope, document change requests, facilitate project 
meetings, review all project deliverables for quality
and accuracy, maintain  project documentation,

risk.

designers, IAs (on larger projects, initial IA will be
done by you - please include samples in your
portfolio),  programmers, content producers, and
testers (again, depending on the project), ensuring
that team members fulfill  their responsibilities
while staying within budget and schedule parameters.  

* Track and report on website usage. Coordinate URL
registration and  search engine optimization. Solicit
feedback on the customer  experience.

QUALIFICATIONS

THE MUSTS: 

* Extensive  experience managing simultaneous projects
and demonstrated team leadership  abilities in a
recognized, fast-paced agency, marketing, or creative
services  environment.

resource/time  estimating, excellent proofreading

technologies, and the ability to  converse effectively
about technical issues.

release.

* desire to achieve 'above and beyond the norm' a

* Strong client relationship skills and a pro-customer
service  attitude.

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
and the  ability to work well with a variety of
personalities and work styles.

* Experience  working within or providing services to
the gaming, film, and entertainment industries.
