Promotions Writer / Producer

Job Description

WKRN News 2 Nashville is looking for an enthusiastic, creative, writer/producer/videographer/editor to join our promotions and marketing team. At least 2-5 years experience in video production preferred. Newsroom or broadcast experience is a huge plus.

We are looking for someone who can compose compelling teases – in a limited amount of words/characters - image campaigns, proof of performance, special stories, and anything else to promote the News 2 brand. It all starts with great writing.

We also want someone with that special eye and ear to edit the right video, get the best shot, choose sound and music to tell our stories, get our messages across clearly, and have the viewer looking forward to what's coming up.

We use Premier with the Adobe Suite for editing. A lot of our normal workflow includes color correction, some After Effects, titling, audio enhancing, ''bells & whistles,'' etc.

A firm understanding of the digital world is also very helpful. The ideal candidate will be someone who gets the nuances that separate on-air spots from those that we push to social media, Google, YouTube, our app, etc. Knowing how to work the analytics and algorithms of the digital world is a big plus.

Experience setting up and directing video is also a must. We need someone who's comfortable scheduling, talent wrangling, location scouting, lighting, etc. Being familiar with cameras and having experience shooting is essential.

Since we're a news organization, our daily work flow can be fluid. Changing gears, direction, and priorities happen. There are occasions when hours may need to shift on a dime depending on breaking news. But we work together as a team and share the load. We're looking for a team member who isn't easily rattled and gets an adrenaline rush when opportunities arise to push the News 2 brand higher.

If this brief overview sounds like you and are excited about the possibilities of working for the ABC affiliate in Nashville, TN, we'd like to know. Send a brief cover letter, resume, and link to your reel/portfolio to get the conversation started.

Duties include (but not limited to):
• Writing copy and scripts used for marketing – must have excellent proofreading and grammar skills
• Brainstorming creative ideas
• Creating image campaigns, ''sweeps'' pieces, sales content, graphic design, etc.
• Setting up and being the lead person on shoots (must be experienced and knowledgeable with cameras, lighting, etc.)
• Filling daily logs to traffic spots for on-air
• Creating video and copy for digital and social consumption
• Always being on the lookout for new ways to introduce News 2 to more people
