  • Proven experience in customer service, with a mindset and goal in developing customer loyalty.
  • Ability to learn new skills and new equipment quickly.
  • Experience using industry a mirrorless/DSLR camera, lighting, and dedicated audio equipment.

Responsibilities & Duties

  • Creating client communications such as but not limited to emails, messages, client newsletters, and mail campaigns, etc.
  • Developing client creative campaigns by asking questions and developing scripts, storyboards, mood boards, and other creative materials as needed.
  • Maintain all equipment in working order, tracking it using our inventory software, and repairing it in-house when possible or sending it for repairs when needed.
