Commercial Video Producer

Work location: In person in Fort Collins, Colorado

Pay: $50,000.00 - $58,545.76 per year plus competitive revenue share and bonus structure.

The Creative Agency is growing, and our production department is looking for a Commercial Video Producer to help us meet increasing client demand and continue raising the quality, consistency, and volume of the work we produce.

Our team creates video for product launches, advertising campaigns, social media, websites, events, interviews, hospitality, beauty, lifestyle, professional services, and consumer brands.

This is not a traditional filmmaking position. We are not producing independent films or long-form narrative projects. We value strong storytelling and cinematic instincts, but the work must always serve the client, campaign, audience, platform, and business objective.

We are looking for a commercial producer first: someone who is technically strong, understands brands and marketing, and knows how to make products, people, services, and experiences look compelling.

Put simply, we need someone who can make commercial work feel cinematic without turning every project into a film set.

About the Role

This is a hands-on production and post-production position. The Commercial Video Producer will manage projects from pre-production through final delivery, including concept development, shoot planning, camera operation, lighting, basic audio, directing talent, editing, color, revisions, and export.

You will serve as both cinematographer and editor while working alongside our strategy, design, photography, social media, account, and production teams.

The balance between shooting and editing changes from week to week. Some weeks may include several productions. Others may be focused primarily on post-production, versioning, revisions, and preparing content for multiple platforms.

The right person must be comfortable owning the entire process.

Projects may include

• Product launches and branded campaigns
• Vertical content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and paid social
• Horizontal advertising and website content
• Product demonstrations and macro product footage
• Beauty, cosmetics, fashion, hospitality, lifestyle, and retail content
• Founder stories, interviews, testimonials, and employee features
• Event and promotional content
• Multiple edits and formats created from the same production

We care deeply about production quality, but we also care about whether the content works.

A beautiful video that misses the deadline, ignores the campaign objective, or fails to communicate clearly is not successful commercial work.

Responsibilities

Pre-Production

• Turn campaign goals and creative direction into clear video concepts
• Develop shot lists, storyboards, production plans, schedules, and interview questions
• Plan for required platforms, formats, aspect ratios, and deliverables
• Coordinate equipment, locations, talent, props, lighting, and other production needs
• Prepare thoroughly so shoots run efficiently
• Identify potential production issues before they affect the final work

Production

• Capture professional video for products, people, services, events, and environments
• Operate cameras, lenses, lighting, stabilization, grip, and audio equipment
• Create intentional lighting for products, interviews, people, and spaces
• Maintain accurate focus, exposure, framing, color, composition, and sound
• Direct clients, employees, actors, models, and people who may not be comfortable on camera
• Keep shoots organized, productive, and moving forward
• Follow approved concepts and creative direction
• Make strong decisions on set when conditions change
• Capture enough coverage to support multiple edits and platforms

Post-Production

• Edit projects from initial assembly through final delivery
• Complete professional color correction and grading
• Select and work with appropriately licensed music
• Create strong pacing, transitions, captions, titles, and supporting graphics
• Produce vertical, horizontal, short-form, and long-form versions
• Organize footage, project files, selects, exports, and archives
• Apply revision notes accurately and efficiently
• Complete quality-control reviews before submitting work
• Deliver completed work by the established deadline

What We Are Looking For

You are technically strong, visually aware, organized, and dependable.

You understand cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, editing, color, and delivery formats. You also understand that commercial content must accomplish something beyond simply looking good.

You know how to make a product feel desirable, a person feel credible, an environment feel inviting, and a brand feel polished and memorable.

You can contribute ideas without losing sight of the approved strategy or creative direction.

You move quickly without becoming careless.

Commercial Experience Is Important

A filmmaking background is not automatically a negative, but it is not enough on its own.

The strongest candidates will have experience producing video for brands, products, advertising, social media, digital campaigns, or other commercial purposes.

Candidates whose portfolios are primarily made up of short films, documentaries, festival projects, wedding videos, music videos, or personal narrative work may not be the right fit unless they can also demonstrate substantial commercial experience. You will be asked to submit a prompt.

Your first instinct should be to understand the brand, audience, platform, campaign, and intended result. Cinematic storytelling should strengthen the work. It should not become the work.

Required Qualifications

• At least three years of professional video production and editing experience
• A portfolio that includes commercial, branded, product, advertising, or social media work
• Strong knowledge of professional cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, and production equipment
• Experience filming and lighting products, people, interviews, and environments
• Professional editing experience using Adobe Premiere Pro
• Strong editing, color, pacing, and finishing skills
• Experience creating vertical and horizontal content
• Strong organizational and file-management habits
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
• Ability to work independently and as part of a creative team
• Ability to receive and accurately apply direct feedback
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to work in person in Fort Collins and travel as needed.
• Authorization to work in the United States

• Consumer products
