The Videographer produces professional high-quality video assets that perpetuate the Publix brand and are of the highest technical and aesthetic quality. This is done through a high level of both creative and technical abilities, working with high-end professional video equipment, lighting and audio equipment, hardware, and software, along with a comprehensive knowledge of the Publix brand, structure, and culture. The Videographer oversees the camera and the lighting crew and is responsible for creating the look, color, and lighting, and for framing every single shot in a video or commercial. They work with Art Directors to create video assets that deliver on approved campaign concepts, meet marketing strategies, and represent Publix products in the most accurate and beautiful way possible. They also work with the Video Producer/Directors to video internal training videos, events, and sponsorships, often in high-stress environments with severe time-constraints.

In Publix’s corporate offices, we value in-person interactions, similar to those our store associates have with customers. Many of Publix’s corporate offices offer work from home up to two days a week. Each business area implements their policy differently and should be discussed during interviews.
