Agent & Producer

• Become a core member of a growing UK team, part of a global creative agency.
• Flex your production, agenting and artist management skills across a broad range of projects, from illustration and mural installations to animated campaigns.
• Work with a roster of more than 100 established and emerging artists to deliver work for exciting clients and brands.

We are seeking an Agent & Producer to join our UK office. As part of our core production team, you will work closely alongside all other members of the Jacky Winter staff, including our Australian and US offices, and directly with our represented talent and most valued clients.

Working at Jacky Winter is a unique experience which requires an equally unique and dedicated individual. Each day presents new opportunities to work with some of the most forward-thinking creatives, businesses, and brands; acting as one of the driving forces in the creative process, bringing to life ideas and stories of all shapes and sizes.

The Jacky Winter Group is an artist agency and production studio with offices in London, New York City, and Melbourne.

Representing over a hundred commercial artists, we solicit and produce thousands of creative briefs a year. Ranging from highly visual campaigns and activations to animated commercials and environmental installations, catering primarily to advertising agencies, brands, publishers, and design studios.

As a producer, you will be a warm and friendly presence on the phone, over email, and in person. Your professional tone and expertise, combined with a sense of humour and passion for the creative industries, will make you a valued partner to our clients, vendors and represented talent. Your working environment will see you alternate between phone, Slack, and email communication, getting out of the office to take new briefs, develop and nurture client and artist relationships, and being on-site for the execution of said briefs when required.

Your primary responsibilities will include the finding, making, and synthesising of new creative briefs. With work ranging from quick-turnaround editorial commissions and above-the-line advertising campaigns, to live murals and animated GIFs for social media, no two days at Jacky Winter are alike.

Each new brief will see you prepare treatments or pitch documents, estimates, and proposals, then negotiate fees, usage rights, contracts, deliverables, and timelines with all stakeholders. Troubleshooting and problem-solving issues as they arise, you will act as a translator between artist and client. The pace of things will be fast, and you will need to be highly adaptable and efficient in your communication and organisation systems, with a specific focus on time management and multitasking, always striving for a positive outcome regardless of the circumstances.

As an agent, you will act as the ambassador of the agency, identifying and capitalising on new business opportunities, and growing and strengthening our existing client base in Europe.

Your role involves maintaining an in-depth knowledge of both the current and future state of the industry, combined with a thorough understanding of the capabilities of our agency, represented talent, and industry partners. You'll be responsible for managing our bespoke CRM system and nurturing ongoing client and artist relationships.

In addition to daily production responsibilities, you'll identify opportunities to connect with new clients. Regular agency presentations, attendance at industry events and artist catch-ups will be integral in ensuring that you are up to date with both the needs of the artists on the roster and the individuals commissioning the work.
