Type: Job
Class: Full-time
Hybrid: Office/WFH
Date: 6/5/2025
Region: Southwest Wisconsin
City, State: La Crosse, WI
Summary:
This is not your typical production gig. As our in-house Videographer/Photographer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the visual language of our agency and the brands we represent. From concept to completion, you'll bring stories to life across a variety of platforms—commercials, branded content, social media, digital campaigns and documentary-style pieces.
We’re looking for someone who thinks in scenes, not just shots. Someone who can build emotion through a lens and elevate brand messaging through narrative filmmaking.
Responsibilities:
- Conceptualize, shoot and edit video content and still photography for a wide range of clients and campaigns
- Participate in creative brainstorming and work closely with team members (copywriters, designers, art directors, account management, marketing and media) to bring story-driven concepts to life
- Direct talent, stage environments and craft lighting setups for both on-location and in-studio shoots
- Edit raw footage into polished video pieces, with a focus on pacing, tone and narrative clarity
- Maintain agency-owned gear and ensure best practices in file management, backup and post-production workflow
- Stay current with trends in visual storytelling, advertising and technology (e.g., drones, gimbals, camera systems)
- Assist with storyboarding, shot listing and scripting
Requirements:
We require
- 5+ years of professional experience in photography, videography or filmmaking—preferably in an agency or studio setting
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates both technical proficiency and emotional storytelling in video and stills
- Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition) and Final Cut Pro
- Deep understanding of lighting, composition and camera operation (DSLRs, camera systems, etc.)
- Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to direct subjects confidently and respectfully
- Strong time management skills
- A collaborative spirit and proactive mindset
Nice-to-Have
- Drone certification (Part 107) and experience with aerial photography
- Motion graphics, animation and/or audio-engineering skills
- Experience in documentary-style filming or branded content
Compensation & Benefits:
- Creative collaboration with a fun, driven team
- Access to professional-grade gear and editing tools
- Opportunities to work on high-profile client projects
- A culture that values creativity, collaboration and kindness
- Competitive salary, benefits and professional development opportunities
