- On-Site Support: Occasionally assist with basic studio resets or gear movements to support incoming productions.
2. Marketing & Sales (Both Companies)
- Lead Generation & Outreach: Execute cold outreach (Email/LinkedIn) to producers and brands to drive new studio bookings and agency inquiries.

- Digital Communication: Write and distribute the monthly newsletter and occasional blog posts highlighting recent projects and studio news.
- CRM & Sales Support: Maintain our client database, ensuring all leads are followed up—your diligence here directly impacts your monthly bonus.
- Event Planning: Help organise studio “Open Days,” industry mixers, or workshops to build the local creative community.
