Producer

Overview

Breaks is a small and agile independent creative studio that creates cultural advantage for brands. Amongst others, we work with Nike, Dr Martens, New Balance, Converse & Levi’s.

Breaks is a small team, working out of a studio in East London, but we’re growing fast and are looking for motivated self-starters with a keen interest in sportswear, fashion and retail to join our team. We’re small and, where necessary, everyone chips in to get the task over the line.

Role

Breaks is looking for an organised and motivated creative individual with substantial experience producing fashion film, branded content, stills shoots and experience of managing large budgets with an ability to identify potential overspend and a bursting black book of camera teams and photographers.

Excellent organisation, communication skills and a positive can-do attitude are essential. Likewise, the fast-paced nature of the agency requires the ability to multi-task, manage expectations and work well alongside the rest of the team. In return, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of ground-breaking projects, developing your skills alongside a dynamic and friendly team at the forefront of the industry. The role reports directly to the Senior Producer and will be across all of our clients and agency output.
