At the heart of it all is a relentless drive to push boundaries, tell bold stories, and connect brands to youth culture like no one else can.

About the Role: LADbible Group has launched a brand-new, dedicated content team for one of the world’s biggest tech brands, creating bold, culturally relevant content across social platforms. This is a hands-on creative leadership role. As Lead Creative Producer, you’ll take ideas from spark to screen, directing talent, and producing highly talkable, social-first content that brings one of the world’s most innovative companies to life through a series of vertical formats. The role demands a master of platform-native storytelling, who is confident in getting the best from a broad range of talent, executing at pace and at scale to create engaging videos that drive conversations. You’ll work closely with Creatives, translating concepts into standout content that makes AI-powered tech accessible and entertaining.

What the opportunity looks like:

• Lead and own the creative execution of branded content for a high-profile tech partner, ensuring ideas feel native to platforms and true to LADbible’s voice.
• Build topline concepts into compelling videos that you lead through the entire production cycle, from outline, to pitch, development, pre-production, directing and edit producing.
• Ensure creative excellence and client confidence throughout.
• Apply and evolve LADbible’s most successful formats into branded content, making them work harder and travel further.
• Become an expert in the client’s product, learning and championing the abilities of the AI-powered technology, to build these into entertaining stories that will drive consumers to use and purchase.
• Lead, mentor, and inspire the wider creative video team, providing clear direction and elevating the quality of ideas and execution.
• Act as the senior creative voice in client conversations, communicating the vision of the content and adapting it based on client feedback and social performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure ideas are both ambitious and deliverable within fast-paced production timelines.
• Stay tapped into culture, platform trends, and audience behaviour to ensure all output feels current and competitive.

Skills and experience we'd like you to have:

• Significant experience in every stage of social video production, from development, direction and edit production, operating at a senior leadership level.
• Proven track record of developing standout branded content that is socially native.
• A clear understanding of how to balance a brand’s message in content that feels entertaining and editorial, rather than advertorial in tone.
• Strong leadership skills, with experience guiding multidisciplinary teams and improving creative output.
• Desired experience working with established content formats and evolving them for different brands or audiences.
• Experience of getting the absolute best from directing a range of talent, from the world of TV, film, music and creators.
• Confidence working with and influencing senior stakeholders, both internally and client-side.
• Experience (or strong interest) in generative AI tools and how they can unlock new creative opportunities.
• Ideally, a track record of making content featuring tech products and consumer AI tools, humanising them through entertainment.
• Deep understanding of content performance and what drives engagement across key social platforms.
• Strong organisational skills, managing multiple projects at different stages simultaneously.

Why is this role exciting? You’ll be shaping high-profile brand partnership work for one of the most innovative companies in the world, using LADbible’s most recognisable formats to create content that cuts through. From always-on output to campaign moments, you’ll set the standard for how branded content shows up on social, combining entertainment, culture, and technology in a way that feels genuinely native.
