AC Business Media, a leader in driving brand awareness and preference through partnerships with its clients, is seeking a Video Producer who is responsible for ensuring the production of high-quality video content in support of editorial and sales efforts to meet brand revenue goals.

This role will also assist with the establishment of video best practices for audience retention. The ideal candidate is highly motivated to build relationships with internal sales and content teams and external client teams. Maintaining the highest customer service standards in a fun, fast-changing team environment is paramount. 

Video will be shot and produced off-site—at tradeshows, corporate offices and out on rugged jobsites. If you love to travel and are comfortable hitting the road monthly to film interviews, promotional videos, or live stream events, this job is for you.

RESPONSIBILITIES, include, but are not limited to:

High-quality video content is created.

• Follow a production schedule as assigned in project management platform.
• Meet deadlines and communicate regularly on project progress, juggling multiple open projects at once.
• Work with editors, sales, and clients to determine look, feel, and messaging of digital content that will engage the audience, drive traffic, expand our brand reach, and appeal to advertisers.
• Film and edit raw video material into a cohesive, engaging video using a variety of camera types and setups, from run-and-gun backpack videography to commercial shoots using iPhone, DSLR and cinematic cameras and a variety of audio and lighting setups.
• Disperse created video for feedback from stakeholders and work to achieve consensus on edits and final cuts.
• Transfer videos to clients, upload to the video platform, and publish.
• Provide feedback to team on how to improve the quality of future projects, always striving to be better.

Existing video series are improved upon.

• Examine video series and content for lighting, staging, video and audio quality, messaging, and engagement.
• Recommend improvements and work with the team to implement.
• Edit video to set examples and create templates that allow yourself and your team to work smarter not harder.
• Follow the company’s and client’s brand guidelines and help build a video portfolio that inspires and leads.
• Monitor content performance to consistently learn what content is working and what content isn’t—you don’t have to be an expert in data analysis to watch for trends and set benchmarks.

You are a great fit for this role if you have:

• Three years of experience producing client videos, editorial videos, or a combination of the two in a B2C or B2B setting.
• Mastery of the fundamentals of all elements of video production, with a strong interest in continuing education in video and multimedia services.
• Expertise in video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve
• Proven off- and on-camera interviewing and interpersonal skills.
• Knowledge of video trends and editing styles and how to diversify your editing and storytelling to suit the platform where you’re posting—whether it’s on a corporate website, blog or social media.
• Proficiency in animation software like After Effects, Fusion, Apple Motion 5, Cinema 4D, Blender or similar.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• Have a passion for working independently and able to wear many hats, as you will sometimes be on video shoots alone acting as producer, director and/or talent
• Be motivated to meet and exceed goals and keep up with trends—video is always changing!
• Aspire to learn and improve your professional skills and help others do the same as part of a growing and highly collaborative team
• Make decisions based on data and expertise that impact the organization’s operations, revenue and reputation
• Adjust your communication style appropriately to meet the needs of the audience
