Creative Producer (New Short-Form Channel)

About Us: DMG New Media builds social-first brands across news, sport, lifestyle, entertainment and culture, reaching hundreds of millions of people every month. We’re launching a new format-first short-form channel and we need a Creative Producer to help bring it to life. About The Role: This is a launch. The channel has an established slate of formats, and you’ll work alongside the creative lead and channel manager to take them from treatment to publish, at pace, week after week. You’ll produce shoots end-to-end and keep every episode consistent in quality and feel — while bringing your own creative ideas to the table as the channel finds its voice. Strong ideas get made here, wherever they come from. The slate mixes studio-based and on-location production, including filming with members of the public — so you’ll need to be confident on the street as well as on set. Some of the output is branded content, which means working to client briefs, treatments and approval cycles without losing the editorial feel.
