**A Hybrid working model**

Now offices are fully open we have embraced a hybrid working model, which allows our employees to split their time between the office and other locations, something we hope will provide everyone much more flexibility to their working week. The expectation is that working life at Hogarth will involve working from the office for about 50% of the time for most people. Please speak to the Talent Acquisition team to find out more information.

**What does a Content Editor do at Hogarth?**

Content editors are a central part of the Moving Image team. They need to be quick on their feet, creative and adaptable in the rapid & ever-changing landscape of our digital marketplace. Content editors play a central role within the department. They combine their skill sets to produce a single combined result such as a TV commercial for broadcast, digital video, animations, cinemagraphs, animated GIFs and layout of stills for digital or internal usage. Content Editors are expected to be comfortable in traditional PARs such as 16:9 and 4:3 video formats for TV, as well as digital square and vertical formats.

Technically, content editors must possess a good understanding of current TV & digital standards, identifying compliance issues. They must be able to quality check their own work to deliver finished deliverables at the highest possible standard for relevant platforms. They need to demonstrate attention to detail, be proactive when placed under constant deadline pressure, and have an understanding of storytelling, advertiser messaging and branding. Content editors must be super organized and work in a structured and process driven manner.

Content editors must be proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and be especially confident in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects & Photoshop. All content editors manage and organize their work and take responsibility for media managing and uploading finished projects with supporting files.

Content editors are expected to be proactive team players who work with strategists, producers, project managers and creatives to attain a high level of work, enabling smoother project processes within Hogarth. Content editors also work alongside other cross-departmental operators from print DI, digital, creative and broadcast to deliver polished end-products to advertising agencies, planning / research agencies and direct clients of Hogarth Worldwide. Being the aggregator from other disciplines, content editors are empowered to drive content excellence, advising on best practises to optimise creativity, efficiencies and organisation. During content factory crunches, content editors oversee juniors and freelancers, ensuring consistency & production excellence.
