ABOUT US: 

Hook is a Digital Production Agency. We are a creative company that exists to make technology more accessible to brands and their audiences. We have offices in Ann Arbor, MI and Los Angeles, CA. We are a team of dedicated developers, motion artists, designers, producers, and quality assurance people. We are passionate about our work and believe you will be too, which you can see at byhook.com.

ABOUT THE ROLE: 

Hook Producers are hybrids, well-versed in project management, technology, client relations, brand strategy, and business operations. They are the owners of our campaigns, and are responsible for leading teams to create, develop, and deliver the highest quality of work in the industry.

Producers partner closely with our clients to identify, define, and fine-tune their brand's goals, and then collaborate with our internal teams to put them into practice. They are the leaders of their projects, providing information to their teams quickly and efficiently in order to get the job done, while owning internal project work streams and systems.

Constantly adapting to the ever-changing digital landscape, producers maintain a solid understanding of technologies used in creative digital work, and they work to constantly improve and optimize those internal processes for the larger team.

The ideal candidate has a strong sense of ownership over projects - and is a self-starter who can lead independently, but loves to collaborate with a great team. He or she has an appetite to learn, not just within the production field, but in the areas of art, technology and business in general. Producers at Hook have many opportunities to further their skillsets, and gain access to tools and resources, including our stellar team of designers, developers and motion artists. Our ideal candidate also values collaboration and transparency - sharing and asking for information and proactively developing internal and external relationships.
