Opportunity overview

Applications are invited from experienced post-production providers to carry out the following: 1. Interstitial production services for BBC ALBA’s linear and on demand platforms 2. The creation of promotional showreels for MG ALBA. For these services, we seek a partner capable of delivering high-quality, accurate, engaging and cohesive interstitial and promotional content to tight delivery deadlines on an ongoing weekly basis. Interstitial production requires flexibility to ensure that as well as capacity to meet the weekly junction deliveries, there is flexibility to re-assemble some junction breaks if there are late schedule changes caused by sports fixtures etc.
