Assistant Video Producer Freestyle | Oklahoma City, OK | Full-Time
Reports to: VP / Creative Director
Day-to-day Reports to: Associate Creative Director - Video
About Freestyle
We're a full-service marketing and advertising agency based in downtown Oklahoma City doing work that moves for financial institutions, health organizations, universities, tourism boards and everyone in between. Our video and photography work is client-facing, deadline-driven and consistently high quality. We're looking for someone who can help us keep it that way.
The Role
This isn't a sit-at-your-desk job. You'll spend your time building production schedules, coordinating shoots across multiple locations and clients, showing up on location with a camera and turning around edits that make the work look as good as it felt in the room. You'll work directly with our creative team and manage the logistics that keep productions running on time and on budget.
If you're the kind of person who color-codes their calendar, knows how to talk to a venue coordinator, likes a good budget spreadsheet and can pull a clean 30-second cut before lunch, keep reading.
