One X Studios is re-imagining the media landscape. We’re telling stories differently. And it begins by building a culture of those best suited to craft these unique, vivid, imaginative stories. We live at the intersection of culture and communication, and our lens is guided by an artistic, imaginative yet purposeful ‘what’s next’ approach to creativity. Our stories are rooted in the veritable Black experience with the goal of connecting people – especially those shaping culture. So, we create with courage. We collaborate with openness. We dig deep. And we remain curious.
One X Studios is looking for a smart, confident producer who possesses a passion for creating, elevating, and managing thought-provoking and sharable branded video content.
