We’re Thinkingbox. You might not have heard of us in the UK yet and that’s okay. We are the brief to built agency, founded in North America. Creating innovative digital, experiential, social, and content, we partner with leading brands across industries like sports, gaming, entertainment, and technology. We believe the hands that carefully craft the work should belong to the minds that dreamed it. So while others pass the buck, we’re already building. Because our thinkers are also the makers. Culture is at the heart of who we are, and our offices are hubs of natural collaboration. That’s the spirit we’ve brought to London.  We’re looking for our next Executive Producer: someone who can move between worlds, from the cultural heat of gaming and entertainment to the polished universe of fintech, fashion, and lifestyle.  This isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about building brands that feel iconic, and crafting ideas that are as cinematic as they are immersive. You’ll join a crew of designers, strategists, and makers who thrive on curiosity and collaboration, delivering work that feels both effortless and unforgettable. We’re building a collaborative, highly skilled team to help change the advertising game. We’re thinkers. We’re makers. We’re doers. And if that sounds like you, let’s talk.

Bonus Points! - Experience creating content and campaigns for social platforms. - Familiarity with Figma, 3D tools or other creative technologies. - Experience experimenting with generative AI tools for creative ideation and production. - An interest in photography, film, animation or emerging visual storytelling techniques.
