Integrated Campaign Producer

Bolster Group is looking for a proactive and self-motivated Integrated Campaign Producer to be our ‘boots on the ground’ in Sydney and lead the successful delivery of integrated campaigns and projects across briefing, pre-production, production and post-production. We are searching for someone who is the quintessential team player, a gun at ‘getting sh*t done’ and absolutely froths delivering top notch work that knocks clients’s socks off!

As an Integrated Campaign Producer at Bolster Group, you will have the inspiring opportunity to work closely with our specialist teams across Strategy, PR, Creative, Content, Social, Digital and Experiential (everyone is really f*cking cool and really f*cking smart), to deliver genuinely exciting campaigns for some of Australia’s most iconic entertainment, consumer and lifestyle brands.

You will be responsible for contributing your creative ideas, crew and talent procurement, remote and on-ground production of shoots, asset feedback management and rollout. You will be a key player in pushing work forward, delivering a seamless delivery experience, and ensuring our clients are happy above all else (we love to surprise and delight!)

If you are an action-oriented, results-focused individual with a proven track record of successfully delivering projects on time, within budget, and to an exceptional quality standard, then this is the role for you!

OK, I’m sold – but what even is Bolster?

We’re an entertainment and culture marketing agency first and foremost – but we’re also a culmination of a love of music and the arts and a curious passion for data and tech.

That love for music and the arts underpins everything we do and is the reason we’re here. It’s probably the reason you might apply for this job, too!

We began in 2015 as the digital plug-in for Australia’s music industry, offering new ad-tech solutions to an industry whose idea of marketing at the time was slapping a street poster on a wall and sending out some #thoughtsandprayers.

Since then many new services, products and offerings have been added gradually – never just for the sake of it, but as an extension of the work we were doing day to day and the growth we have seen with different clients.

With our specialisation in entertainment and culture, in a short space of time, Bolster has become a strategic marketing partner to many amazing brands, artists and events such as Youtube, KFC, EA Games, Better Beer, Splendour In The Grass, Bluesfest, Laneway Festival, Billie Eilish, Elton John, Flume to name a few. We are extremely proud of our work and who we work for.
