Producer, Product

At Code and Theory, our Producers oversee the day-to-day activities for 2-3 concurrent client engagements. They easily collaborate across a team of creative strategists, interaction and visual designers, and engineers to deliver a successful product on time and on budget. Our Producers run projects from inception through launch for a variety of platforms and projects, including responsive website design and development, mobile/tablet applications, retail and online advertising, and social media. They have impeccable communication, project management mastery, and can clearly liaise across creative and development teams.

They understand project risks and challenges and capably respond, know when to raise red flags, and resolve and handle possible blockers in an effective and calm demeanor. They're able to partner closely with client counterparts, ensuring that guidelines are conveyed clearly, and the work progresses through to launch. Our clients trust our Producers' knowledge, experience and insight on the agency's progress. They are quick to clearly present new information and actively find efficiencies, making certain that our projects launch with creative excellence, efficiency and of course, on time and on budget.
