🏢 About Thinkingbox

Thinkingbox is a 'brief to built' agency that doesn't just concept—they execute, with the same minds that dream up ideas also crafting them. Their culture is intentionally vibrant, from office dogs to Thursday happy hours, and they offer a unique 'work from anywhere for a month' perk to keep inspiration fresh. Working here means joining a collaborative, inclusive team that partners with top-tier brands in gaming, tech, sports, and entertainment.

About This Role

As a Senior Integrated Producer, you'll own the production of integrated campaigns spanning digital, content, and experiential work for global clients in gaming, tech, and entertainment. You'll be the driving force from concept through delivery, ensuring projects are on time, on budget, and beautifully executed. This role is central to Thinkingbox's promise of building what they dream, making your production expertise critical to client success.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start with a production stand-up, reviewing timelines and budgets for an upcoming experiential activation, then jump into a creative review to ensure the digital components align with the concept. Later, you'll negotiate with vendors, troubleshoot a scheduling conflict, and end the day with a client call to present progress—all while keeping the project on track and the team inspired.

🎯 Who Thinkingbox Is Looking For

  • 5+ years of production experience at an agency or production company, with a strong portfolio of integrated campaigns across digital, content, and experiential.
  • Proven ability to manage global clients in gaming, tech, or entertainment, balancing creative ambition with practical constraints.
  • Deep knowledge of production workflows, from pre-production to post, including budgeting, scheduling, and vendor negotiation.
  • A collaborative, solution-oriented mindset that thrives in a fast-paced, 'maker' culture where you're expected to roll up your sleeves.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing only on traditional production experience without demonstrating integrated (digital, content, experiential) capabilities.
  • Being vague about your specific role in past projects—Thinkingbox values makers, so clearly state what you personally built or produced.
  • Ignoring the cultural fit: not showing enthusiasm for their collaborative, in-office (with dogs and happy hours) environment or their travel perk.
