We’re a creative consultancy. That means we put creativity at the center of all our thinking—be it strategic consulting, design and advertising or product and service design. If you believe in the power of creativity to transform how people think and behave, you’re in the right place.
OverviewWe are creating a new leadership role to guide our Maker team into its next chapter. This leader will oversee video production, digital execution, and studio operations while actively transforming how production is conceived, built, and monetized in a rapidly evolving communications landscape.
This role is equal parts creative leader, technical translator, and change agent. While foundational knowledge of traditional production and studio workflows is required, the primary mandate is to accelerate digital-first, AI-enabled production models that unlock new revenue streams, improve speed to market, and expand creative possibility.
Success in this role requires the ability to influence creative direction through production innovation—ensuring that technology and making are not a downstream service, but a core creative capability from concept through execution.

(e.G., websites, CMS, DAMs, workflow systems), with an understanding of how AI can enhance, automate, or scale them
Comfort operating in creative environments where systems are
iterative, evolving, and imperfect, with the judgment to prioritize what matters most.
Strong change leadership skills, able to bring teams along through current tools, new ways of working, and new expectations without eroding morale or craft.

speed, margin, scalability, and revenue growth.
