As a Writer/Producer, you will concept, write, and produce a wide range of creative for NBC News, including topical promos, image campaigns, sizzle reels, short-form and social content, and podcast marketing, with a focus on Dateline and additional support across Today, NBC Nightly News, Meet the Press, and NBC News NOW. Your work will span both quick-turn pieces tied to the news cycle and more crafted campaign work that defines the voice of our brands. Across everything, your goal is to create work that is clear, distinctive, and emotionally engaging... whether you’re driving tune-in, building a brand, or launching new content.
