Tools & Technology
Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Calendar)
Familiarity with ClickUp, Asana, Monday, or similar tools
Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to support organization and workflows
Working knowledge of spreadsheets (building trackers, not just updating them)
Nice to Have
Exposure to video production workflows (call sheets, shot lists, on-set logistics)
Background in communications, advertising, marketing, or related field
Experience in an agency, production company, or fast-paced environment
What You'll Learn
How agency projects move from idea to execution
Real-world production and operational workflows
How budget tracking and utilization impact agency performance
