Motion is the studio's priority format, and you will produce short-form video and social motion at volume across multiple formats in parallel. You will mix brand footage with raw creator video, build motion systems that scale across markets, and use generative AI tools to speed up production. The work covers original lower-funnel campaigns and adaptations of global and regional work for Gemini and Google AI Mode across KSA, Egypt, Morocco, and Iraq.
