Creative Producer

We’re looking for a brilliant creative producer with 8-10 years of experience in fashion to join a growing and ambitious team.

The opportunity:

ME+EM is one of the UK’s fastest-growing direct to consumer luxury fashion brands. With UK and global growth going from strength to strength our Brand and Creative team is expanding to hire a Creative Producer to lead our production across video and stills, liaising closely with talent, photographers and video teams. 

Reporting into the Brand Communications Director, you’ll join an ambitious team of graphic designers, a motion designer, artworkers, editors and work with some of London’s best stylists and fashion photographers. 

As a direct-to-consumer brand we operate in a truly multi-channel sense with six London stores, concessions in Harrods and Selfridges, production of a monthly book (global), monthly digital campaigns (global) and weekly emails (global). The brand is loved by celebrities, models as well as the global style set for our mantra of “Intelligent Style, Now and Forever” underpinned by our four pillars: Flattering, Functional, Fair and Forever. 

About you:

You’ll have 8-10 years experience in creative production in London and Europe, with a little black book of creative contacts and a deep understanding of talent agencies across models, photographers, hair and makeup teams and videographers. You have deep knowledge of locations abroad, in London and across the UK that support our monthly creative production needs.

You’ll have experience negotiating contracts, rights usage and delivering production perfectly to creative briefs led by our acting Creative Director and Clare Hornby, our Founder and Chief Creative Officer. You’ve got experience working with some of the world’s leading creative teams on set, but also deeply understand how assets will come to life across our channels to ensure that suppliers are delivering against our briefs. 

Objectives and Key results:

• Leading creative production in-house across Campaign and eCommerce shoots in the UK and abroad
• Sourcing photographers, videographers, hair and makeup artists and casting teams to support our acting Creative Director’s vision for the brand
• Negotiating contracts with suppliers: models, photographers, casting directors, hair and makeup artists and videographers including costs, rights usage and building strong relationships across the industry
• Location sourcing through a network of location companies and your own experiences
• Carrying out recce’s with creative teams ahead of shoots
• Sourcing equipment for shoots once a creative brief is set with talent
• Setting up quarterly casting days to set up models for upcoming seasons
• Sourcing props and materials for shoots
• Managing, reconciling and forecasting creative budgets; you’ll deliver the year’s work at or below the agreed budget
• Successfully managing a Junior Producer so that they grow in the business and support the team
• Working closely with external suppliers and our internal design team to deliver assets in a timely manner to expedite selects and retouching
• Working closely with the Brand Communications Director to map out the year and ensure that annual planning across creative, trading and eCommerce teams is aligned
• Supporting the Brand Communications Director on workflow management for campaign briefs once assets are back at the Studio 

Your style and mindset:

• Your taste levels are high and understand the luxury space; this aids your talent sourcing
• You’re proactive and super organised
• You inspire and motivate teams
• You are positive and solutions-focussed; nothing is impossible
• On set you keep teams on track while building supportive relationships
• You manage up to senior leaders and keep key stakeholders informed
• You have a passion for great design and love fashion
• You’re customer obsessed and not only think about production, but also where our creative ends up in execution
