Activate Inc. is hiring: Associate Producer in Ferndale

Activate Inc. · Ferndale, MI, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

At Activate, we don’t just plan events, we build experiences people remember.

From immersive live events and mobile tours to custom PR kits and large-scale brand activations, our team creates real-world experiences for some of the world’s biggest brands. We’re looking for an Associate Producer who wants to be in the middle of the action, someone excited by fast-paced projects, creative problem-solving, travel, logistics, and bringing ideas to life.

This role is for someone who:

Loves live events, experiential marketing, and production

Wants to grow into a Producer role

Can balance creativity with organization

Thrives in environments where no two days look the same

Is excited by hands‑on execution, not just sitting behind a desk

One day you might be sourcing custom event assets or coordinating vendors. The next, you could be onsite helping execute a national mobile tour, managing show flow, solving last‑minute challenges, or helping transform a blank venue into a fully immersive brand experience.

What You’ll Do

Support Producers across live events, activations, tours, and experiential campaigns

Assist with budgets, timelines, vendor sourcing, logistics, and production documentation

Help bring creative concepts into physical, real‑world environments

Coordinate onsite execution and support live event operations

Help manage fast‑moving projects with multiple moving parts

Problem‑solve in real time when things inevitably change onsite

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of relevant experience in events, experiential, production, hospitality, entertainment, or related industries

Strong communication and organizational skills

Comfortable working in fast‑paced, high‑pressure environments

Willingness to travel

Someone proactive, adaptable, and collaborative

Experience with project management tools like Asana is a plus

Why Activate?
We’re a growing experiential agency where people wear many hats, collaborate closely, and have real opportunities to grow. We value team players, creative thinkers, and people who genuinely love producing memorable experiences.

If you’ve ever wanted to see your work physically come to life, this is the role for you!
