Can you look at three pages of dense client notes and see both the message and visuals hiding inside them? Vidico is looking for freelance Presentation Specialists to join our talented team.
Vidico is a creative production agency that partners with some of the world's most exciting brands: TikTok, Square, Spotify, Deloitte, Drata and Finder, to name a few. Our television campaigns in Australia and the U.S. have amassed over 1.3 billion views and our billboards can be seen all over Times Square. Based in Melbourne, Australia, our HQ is a hub of creativity, and we're looking to expand our team remotely.
Our presentation design team is excellent. What we need is the person who works out what should be on the slide before they build it - the narrative, the structure, the words, and the call on what becomes a chart and what gets cut entirely. This is a writing and communications role first. You'll sketch it or provide a reference and our designers will make it beautiful.
What will I work on?
- Take raw client inputs - notes, research, spreadsheets, half-built decks - and shape them into a explicit argument with a beginning, a middle and a point.
- Write and refine the words: headlines, key messaging, body copy. Every slide should say one thing, clearly, in the client's voice.
- Work out the communications strategy behind each deck - who's in the room, what they already believe, what they need to walk away with, and what has to be said to get them there.
- Decide the visual treatment for every section: what's a framework, what's a timeline, what's one number filling the slide, what's six bullets that should have been a diagram.
- Sketch or reference what you want, and brief our designers to execute it.
- Prioritise ruthlessly when there's too much.
- Keep messaging and logic consistent across a client's full portfolio of presentations.
- Make complex, high-value opportunities feel premium, exciting and easy to understand.
Skills, Education & Experience Requirements:
- A background in professional writing either copywriting, content or communications strategy, pitch and bid writing, consulting, journalism, scriptwriting or similar.
- Work samples showing structural thinking such as sketches and before-and-afters. We'd rather see the messy middle than a folio of finished slides.
- Demonstrated ability to translate dense information into charts, diagrams and frameworks that make an idea obvious.
- Minimum 3-5 years in a writing, communications, content strategy, information design or presentation-led role.
- Able to communicate an idea visually at speed using pen and paper or references. You don't need to be a designer, but you need to know what you're asking for.
- Working knowledge of Figma and Google Slides.
- Design skills an added bonus.
- Outstanding communication and collaboration skills.
