Why You Shouldn't Hire Us! ❌️ There are a lot of Horror Stories of working with a Video Production Company! So here are some things to look out for when choosing the RIGHT Video Team 📸 Have you had a Bad Experience with a Video Team? 🤔 #digitaladvertising #digitalmarketing #digitalmarketingtips #videoadvertising #contentmarketing #videoproductioncompany

When did Producer roles turn into being a one-person production team? They want you to be marketing extraordinaire editor videographer  graphic designer strategist  social media manager analyst  sound designer …and more For a salary between $55k-$85k? That’s 8+ roles in one! It’s laughable and downright ridiculous. Companies expecting one person to fulfill all those roles just shows potential employees that they want one person to do all the work it takes a team to accomplish without the respect of paying appropriately. At the end of the day it says “we’d rather find the person who’s willing to do all of these roles in one so we can keep business costs low and get away with not hiring a team.” Companies - can you stop doing this in 2024 and beyond? #jobsearch #jobseekers #dontbefooled #videoproduction #video

Job in advertising

✨Why You Should Hire a TV Production Employee ✨ So you’re the hiring manager of a corporate company, and you get a resume in with someone who spent the last 5, 10, 20 years of their life in TV Production. They could’ve been a Production Assistant, Coordinator, Manager, maybe even a Cam Op or Assistant Director. Here’s why you should hire them: 🏃♀️On-the-Go Learning 📝 In 2022, I worked 12 gigs. That means I had to enter a new work environment with new leaders, plans and strategies 12 times. If you’re looking at a TV Production resume and you see show after show after show listed, that means this person has had to use effective communication skills, stayed keen as a student to their environment and ADAPT over and over and over again, likely multiple times a year, working under pressure to finish short and long term projects. Event management? Wedding planning? Hotel event planner? A production employee can get it done. 🔋Fuel in this Reality 🏠 No one leaves a dream job that treats you well, but with television being notoriously unstable a lot of conversations around leaving are fueled by a desire for stability. Home prices in LA and New York are up, television work is down, and unemployment can only last so long. It’s just reality. When people who specialize in getting sh*t done are given the opportunity to work hard AND have a job that treats them well, that is STRONG fuel for an employee who specializes in finishing projects quickly and efficiently and learning on-the-go. 🎨Creativity 🧬 People go into film and television because they want to make something. They want to bring their creative ideas into the world. It’s in their DNA. Hiring a creative brings more ideas to the table, brings someone insatiable for improvement and making systems or projects better. It brings knowledge of concept, color, design, angle. In some cases it brings practice of cinematography and writing. For jobs in advertising or marketing, a production creative can be crucial from ideation to execution. 💭Final Thoughts🤔 I worked in production for five years. The skills I learned and the people I worked with have changed my role as an employee forever. From assisting to managing to running a set, production employees are some of the most detail-oriented, people-focused, effectively communicative, creative-minded people you can find in your applicant pool.
