London, United Kingdom eight&four Full time
We're a social and end-to-end content production agency. Since 2008 we've been building an integrated, digital-first offering that combines content excellence with channel best practice to drive performance across our client base.

Embedded within our client's organisation, you'll have the best of both worlds - access to learning from one of the biggest gaming companies in the World, with all the benefits and perks of eight&four agency culture.

You'll be a solid midweight Video Creative, who's able to both work independently and with a range of different client stakeholders. You're calm under pressure, mature in difficult situations, and a problem solver both in your work and when work isn't going to plan.
