Established in 1999, XYi Design is a London-based agency with 25 years’ experience in the localisation of major international entertainment campaigns across both print and digital media. We work for some of the biggest film studios including Paramount Pictures International and Universal Pictures International.
We are looking for a Creative Quality Controller with an excellent eye for detail and consistency, who is organised as well as proactive and can work across different departments.
Position overview
The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the creative leads in approving standard print OOH formats, 1 sheet poster launches, standees and press ads; after training (depending on skillset), you may also be responsible for approving OOH bespoke pieces such as station takeovers and bus wraps. The role will have you working in our busy studio and liaising closely with the teams, reviewing their work and giving feedback before it goes out for client review.
It is important that you communicate clearly and explain your revisions, illustrating your points verbally, with mark-ups on PDFs and screen grabs. You’ll also need to be able to juggle priorities as they often change and be able to deliver feedback quickly.
Creative quality control plays an integral role within the studio process, as nothing can be sent to our clients until it has been checked, therefore you’ll need to ensure all assigned work has been approved by the end of the day. This may mean working out of normal hours to ensure the work is delivered to our global or LA-based clients.
