The Role

The role of “content creator” is working on a wide range of projects that require video, graphics, web or social media content and publishing. The projects include internal comms, client work and working with other brands within the group of companies that PYTCH is part of.

The work is diverse, ever-changing and requires a constant flow of fresh creative vibes. This is not a “rinse and repeat” role.

Approach to recruiting this role

We take a dynamic approach to recruiting creatives, recognising that each person’s
individual “skill stack” is unique. This approach means we look to explore where the
candidate’s skills and passions align with the company’s needs.

Company

PYTCH is an award-winning event production and creative media company based in Bristol UK.

We help clients create memorable experiences and share important messages.. To do this we have a lot of equipment, awesome staff (we call them “PYTCHers”), our own studios, a manufacturing facility and an amazing HQ, the PYTCH Campus (with our own airliner).

We are not the biggest company, but we do big things, fast, with impact and integrity. We move fast, energise and create.

While we approach our work with focus on integrity, reliability and value, at our core we are a purpose driven business. We drive sustainable event practices, technical innovation, inclusive engineering and creativity. We disrupt the things we think dont work. We are a certified B-corp and support a lot of environmental and social causes. Learn more here https://pytch.co.uk/our-values

mainly in the south of the UK with a high volume of work in our home city of Bristol. Many of our larger projects are in central London.

As well as working for an array of awesome clients we also produce our shows which have
opportunities for all PYTCHers to get involved with creatively and technically.

Note that we take an individual view of “skill stacks” as people will be better at some
tasks than others, and may not have skills in some of these items. It is important to
note that working at PYTCH does require a diverse skill base and people with only one
