Creative Director Application

</aside>

Capture cinematic, performance-driven visuals that exceed expectations.

We are seeking a Director of Photography who can shoot, light, and visually execute campaigns for growth-stage consumer brands. This is a hands-on DP role, not a Creative Director or traditional Producer role.

You will be responsible for owning the visual quality of shoots—from camera and lighting decisions through execution on set—and, in some cases, delivering first-pass edits to establish the visual standard.

If you love shooting, building cinematic systems, and working with brands in sports, fitness, and consumer goods—this role is for you.

How we work

Marketing examines works in content sprints both with our clients and our internal media. We break projects down into 30 to 45 day sprint cycles, create playbooks that start with high-level strategy and eventually turn into full-fledged pre-production materials that we then lead through execution.

We build:

• Strategy → playbooks → pre-production → execution → posting
• Visual systems that allow brands to scale content efficiently

We are a lean team that prioritizes results. We utilize tools like Slack, Notion, Clickup, Frame.io, Google Workspace and email, but ultimately do what's needed to get the job done.

We leverage our size as a strength and allow autonomy, creativity, and flexibility for anyone to come in and build what they need to. Our processes are meant to help, and the moment they don’t we trust you to break free and do whats needed.

Our values

1. Set the standard There are expectations. There are bench marks. There are standards. Then there are people who shatter all of them.
2. Execute before forgiveness Do what's needed. Do what you think is right. Do what moves the needle. Then ask for forgiveness if needed.
3. It’s never about us We don't chase vanity metrics. We create impact.
4. Do your job Know when to call an iso. Know when to throw an alley pop. Know when to move the ball around. And always do your job.
