Dear List,
I am sending advance notice that Wieden+Kennedy New York http://wk.com/ is
seeking some freelance (though for the right person this could eventually
become fulltime). Clients include Nike, ESPN, ABC and Sharp to name a few. We
will be concentrated on brand experience and campaign sites, not neccesarily
corporate websites.
Please send a detailed cover letter, resume and online portfolio or list of
links to: raina.kumra@xxxxxx
This request has not yet been given to recruiters...so people on this list and
on the ITP list will be given preference, please notate that in the subject
line: webproducers or itp
(please do not reply to this email)
Title: Interactive Producer -- all levels
Location: New York,NY
Type: Freelance to Fulltime
Note: We are building out the new interactive division of a top,established,
reputable creative shop based in New York. Clients include Nike, ESPN, ABC and
Sharp to name a few.
I am 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
the creative and solutions thinking, to get these project designed, developed
and produced in a turnkey solutions 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.
REQUIREMENTS
The Interactive Producer is responsible for translating creative ideas and
concepts into prioritized project plans and deliverables for internet, mobile,
and related content applications. The producer is responsible for overall
project success, from project kick-off through completion for the efforts you
are assigned to and is expected to be a solid team player. You will be
required to deliver multiple, often concurrent projects: error free, on time
or early, on or under budget, all while meeting or exceeding creative
objectives and expectations.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Once your EP has assigned you to a client engagement you will be required to:
* Work with the creatives to determine overall look and feel for sites
including architecture and navigation, back-end integration and content
development. This is not a "silo-ed" environment.
* Work closely with key stakeholders (creative team, content management
department, client) to define project requirements, develop timeline and
budget, identify technical considerations, and designate areas of
responsibility among interactive team.
* Develop a detailed project schedule, manage project scope, document change
requests, facilitate project meetings, review all project deliverables for
quality and accuracy, maintain project documentation, communicate project
status, and identify project risk.
* Lead a multi-disciplinary team of interactive 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.
* Strong background in project scheduling and resource/time estimating,
excellent proofreading abilities and basic HTML skills.
* Strong understanding of web and related technologies, and the ability to
converse effectively about technical issues.
* Full understanding of Internet/New Media project development process from
requirements gathering to release.
* Ability to define new interactive tools and opportunities both in and
outside the web.
* desire to achieve 'above and beyond the norm' a MUST
* 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.
THE NICE TO HAVES:
* Hands-on development experience.
* Experience working within or providing services to the gaming, film, and
entertainment industries.
* Video production or related background.
* Mobile development experience and knowledge
