About MarkMedia

MarkMedia is a creative content agency specializing in strategic storytelling, corporate branding, and high-impact video production. We partner with global investors and their portfolio companies to craft compelling narratives that drive fundraising, marketing, and business growth.

Unlike traditional advertising agencies, we take a documentary-style approach, showcasing real people—executives, investors, and internal teams—rather than actors or scripted commercials. Our content helps investors articulate their vision and success while equipping businesses with the tools to attract capital, engage stakeholders, and build credibility.

From executive interviews to annual reports, we offer a full suite of creative services, including strategic communications, brand storytelling, creative direction, and media training. Our expertise spans video production, photography, podcasts, and virtual events, delivering high-quality content that engages audiences and drives results.

As a global agency, we collaborate with creatives worldwide—from New York to London, Milan to San Francisco—assembling the best teams for each project. By blending in-house expertise with a network of talented contractors, we deliver exceptional results for our clients.

We’re in an exciting phase of growth and are looking for talented professionals to help us scale. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where creativity meets strategy, we’d love to hear from you.

Who This Role Is For

You’re a service-minded professional with a “no job too small” attitude, ready to support both team members and clients with enthusiasm and dedication. You’re proactive, exceptionally organized, and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

You excel as a project lead, ensuring deliverables are completed on time or ahead of schedule. You’re a natural liaison, seamlessly bridging communication between the CEO, video editors, and clients. You’re detail-oriented, with the ability to anticipate challenges and implement solutions—even when coordinating international shoots.

You’re a problem-solver who can balance creative and technical aspects of production while meeting tight deadlines. If this sounds like you, we’d love to have you on our team.
