Freelance Process Engineer Jobs in Milwaukee, WI

C2's client, a digital-first agency specializing in social media strategy, content creation, community management, and performance marketing, seeks a Digital Producer to lead the execution of digital marketing and content production projects across a diverse portfolio of client accounts.

The agency creates personality-driven, video-first content that turns audiences into long-term brand fans rather than one-time customers. Their work blends real-time content production with thoughtful planning, using strategy, creativity, and performance data to produce campaigns that resonate across platforms. This role sits at the center of that process, bringing clarity to moving pieces while coordinating people, resources, timelines, and deliverables from kickoff through final delivery.

Success comes from understanding how digital marketing work gets made. This is a production role, not a creative or strategy position. The person who thrives here enjoys bringing order to complexity, coordinating people and resources, anticipating challenges before they become problems, and keeping projects moving without losing sight of quality, budgets, or deadlines.
