• Data wrangling 

What's in your toolbox…

• Experience with a wide range of film cameras (including Sony FX range, Arri and RED)
• An impressive portfolio filled with all the exciting things you’ve worked on, while also demonstrating a variety of shooting styles and a good basis of knowledge in lighting techniques and equipment
• Brilliant computer literacy skills (particularly in Office 365 and resource management software) 
• Full Driving Licence (keep away from our hedges!)

Get to know us…

We’re one of the most unexpectedly all-round capable communications agencies that’s been on the go for years – ever since our head honcho set up shop in a shed back in 1980, in fact.

Since then, we’ve made it our mission to make anything possible for our many and varied clients, putting our creative flair into delivering strategic communication campaigns, digital solutions, film and videos, events, exhibitions, and a whole lot more in between. We’ve grown a lot, but we’ve kept everything that made us great, back from the very day we first started out. Our global HQ and largest studios are smack bang in the middle of the UK and well worth a visit to see for yourself!

Hang on, there’s more…

The role will be based primarily in Hartlebury, but there will be times when you’ll need to work from our other offices and undertake other related commercial duties both in the UK and overseas. Flexibility is key!

We’re a friendly team. We really, really welcome anyone who wants to become part of a brilliant company. If you’re passionate with a cracking drive to deliver on our ‘anything’s possible’ mindset, we’d love to hear from you!
