MAG Freelance Hybrid Events Producer
At a Glance
MAG, a division of BDS Connected Solutions, is based in NYC and brings over 20 years of experience creating impactful campaigns for the world's most esteemed brands. Together, we are looking to grow our network of qualified and experienced Freelance Hybrid Events Producers to join our team supporting elite clients! We are a progressive and growing marketing organization; come have fun with us as we continue to build a dynamite experiential and design agency space.
As a Freelance Hybrid Events Producer, you will oversee the white-glove delivery of world-class events showcasing and promoting our major brand clients, largely within the tech and retail space. Your mission is to bring these activations to life from concept to execution. In this role, you'll project manage streaming events, both live and pre-recorded. This role requires a highly detail-oriented individual who is comfortable interfacing with clients in fast-paced, time-critical situations and has excellent troubleshooting abilities. The objective is to produce online and hybrid events that leave the attendee feeling as fulfilled as if it was IRL. There often will be an in-person component when the events are going live.
Main responsibilities include booking studio or meeting spaces, finding accommodations for attendees, managing budgets, creating the run of show, networking with vendors, inviting speakers, and managing communication with staff and clients. Additionally, you'll pivot from overseeing platform development, content management, and video production to assisting with attendee communication materials involving print and digital copy, graphics, and video. You will work across different time zones and will shift between some managing productions both remote and on-location.
We are seeking to hire freelance superstars at a $40-$80/hour project rate based on the project type, required skills and experience, but also have opportunities throughout the year for full-time and permanent creative hires!
