I worked under the guidance of the VP of Production and collaborated on a daily basis with Business Leaders, Creative, and Production teams to maintain excellence in all areas of production. In this role, I helped develop and coordinate a variety of work, from still shoots and social media content to case studies, testimonial videos, and full-blown broadcast productions.I loved the position because I got to guide our team toward the right solutions. The position required resourcefulness, diplomacy, developing and overseeing budgets, having a good eye, keeping calm under pressure, having high-level organizational skills, the ability to think quickly on my feet, and the know-how to stretch a buck. In this role, I was thick-skinned, self-starting, good in a group, and willing to pitch in on whatever crazy opportunity popped up next.
