The Creative Agency is hiring: Commercial Video Producer in Fort Collins

The Creative Agency · Fort Collins, CO, USA ·

Pay:
$50,000-$58,546/yr
Job type:
Full Time

Pay: $50,000.00 - $58,545.76 per year plus competitive revenue share and bonus structure.
The Creative Agency is growing, and our production department is looking for a Commercial Video Producer to help us meet increasing client demand and continue raising the quality, consistency, and volume of the work we produce.
Our team creates video for product launches, advertising campaigns, social media, websites, events, interviews, hospitality, beauty, lifestyle, professional services, and consumer brands.
This is not a traditional filmmaking position. We are not producing independent films or long-form narrative projects. We value strong storytelling and cinematic instincts, but the work must always serve the client, campaign, audience, platform, and business objective.
We are looking for a commercial producer first: someone who is technically strong, understands brands and marketing, and knows how to make products, people, services, and experiences look compelling.
Put simply, we need someone who can make commercial work feel cinematic without turning every project into a film set.
About the Role
This is a hands-on production and post-production position. The Commercial Video Producer will manage projects from pre-production through final delivery, including concept development, shoot planning, camera operation, lighting, basic audio, directing talent, editing, color, revisions, and export.
You will serve as both cinematographer and editor while working alongside our strategy, design, photography, social media, account, and production teams.
The balance between shooting and editing changes from week to week. Some weeks may include several productions. Others may be focused primarily on post-production, versioning, revisions, and preparing content for multiple platforms.
The right person must be comfortable owning the entire process.
Projects may include:
Product launches and branded campaigns
Vertical content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and paid social
Horizontal advertising and website content
Product demonstrations and macro product footage
Beauty, cosmetics, fashion, hospitality, lifestyle, and retail content
Founder stories, interviews, testimonials, and employee features
Event and promotional content
Multiple edits and formats created from the same production
We care deeply about production quality, but we also care about whether the content works.
A beautiful video that misses the deadline, ignores the campaign objective, or fails to communicate clearly is not successful commercial work.
Responsibilities
Turn campaign goals and creative direction into clear video concepts
Develop shot lists, storyboards, production plans, schedules, and interview questions
Plan for required platforms, formats, aspect ratios, and deliverables
Coordinate equipment, locations, talent, props, lighting, and other production needs
Prepare thoroughly so shoots run efficiently
Identify potential production issues before they affect the final work
Production
Capture professional video for products, people, services, events, and environments
Operate cameras, lenses, lighting, stabilization, grip, and audio equipment
Create intentional lighting for products, interviews, people, and spaces
Maintain accurate focus, exposure, framing, color, composition, and sound
Direct clients, employees, actors, models, and people who may not be comfortable on camera
Keep shoots organized, productive, and moving forward
Follow approved concepts and creative direction
Make strong decisions on set when conditions change
Capture enough coverage to support multiple edits and platforms
Edit projects from initial assembly through final delivery
Complete professional color correction and grading
Select and work with appropriately licensed music
Create strong pacing, transitions, captions, titles, and supporting graphics
Produce vertical, horizontal, short-form, and long-form versions
Organize footage, project files, selects, exports, and archives
Apply revision notes accurately and efficiently
Complete quality-control reviews before submitting work
Deliver completed work by the established deadline
What We Are Looking For
You are technically strong, visually aware, organized, and dependable.
You understand cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, editing, color, and delivery formats. You also understand that commercial content must accomplish something beyond simply looking good.
You know how to make a product feel desirable, a person feel credible, an environment feel inviting, and a brand feel polished and memorable.
You can contribute ideas without losing sight of the approved strategy or creative direction.
You move quickly without becoming careless.
Commercial Experience Is Important
A filmmaking background is not automatically a negative, but it is not enough on its own.
The strongest candidates will have experience producing video for brands, products, advertising, social media, digital campaigns, or other commercial purposes.
Candidates whose portfolios are primarily made up of short films, documentaries, festival projects, wedding videos, music videos, or personal narrative work may not be the right fit unless they can also demonstrate substantial commercial experience. You will be asked to submit a prompt.
Your first instinct should be to understand the brand, audience, platform, campaign, and intended result. Cinematic storytelling should strengthen the work. It should not become the work.
Required Qualifications
At least three years of professional video production and editing experience
A portfolio that includes commercial, branded, product, advertising, or social media work
Strong knowledge of professional cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, and production equipment
Experience filming and lighting products, people, interviews, and environments
Professional editing experience using Adobe Premiere Pro
Strong editing, color, pacing, and finishing skills
Experience creating vertical and horizontal content
Strong organizational and file-management habits
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
Ability to work independently and as part of a creative team
Ability to receive and accurately apply direct feedback
Reliable transportation
Ability to work in person in Fort Collins and travel as needed.
Authorization to work in the United States
Preferred Experience
Experience in any of the following is especially valuable:
Consumer products
Beauty or cosmetics
Fashion or lifestyle
Hospitality
Food and beverage
Retail
Paid social advertising
Motion graphics or After Effects
Directing talent or interview subjects
Agency or in-house brand production
Applicants must submit a portfolio or reel demonstrating relevant commercial work.
Please include examples of:
Product, brand, advertising, or campaign work
Vertical social media content
Horizontal commercial content
Lighting and cinematography
Editing, color, and audio work
Please clearly explain your specific role in each project, including what you personally handled in concept development, producing, directing, camera operation, lighting, editing, color, sound design, motion graphics, or final delivery.
