About Balmain
Balmain, a distinguished brand within the Swatch Group, the world's leading watchmaking conglomerate, is renowned for its predominantly feminine collections that draw inspiration from a myriad of universes. Situated in Saint-Imier, Balmain's creations are a sophisticated fusion of tradition and contemporary aesthetics, each timepiece narrating its own unique story, such as the iconic arabesque motif inspired by the opulent embroideries adorning haute couture gowns.
Balmain is seeking a Creative Content Production Assistant for an apprenticeship starting as soon as possible, supporting print design, video post-production, and TikTok and social media content creation. The role also covers visual trend research, brand consistency, confidential file handling, and coordination across content formats.
Role & Responsibilities
- Design and lay out print materials in InDesign, including invitations, menus, place cards, and materials for fashion shows and events.
- Retouch images, create composites, and prepare print-ready files in Photoshop.
- Apply typography, layout-grid, and print-production standards, including bleed, color profiles, and paper selection.
- Ensure all content reflects Balmain’s visual codes with restraint, elegance, and brand consistency.
- Edit videos in Premiere Pro, including color grading, sound mixing, and exports in multiple formats, including vertical and TikTok formats.
- Create motion graphics, titles, simple composites, and animated transitions for social media content in After Effects.
- Adapt content to multiple formats and aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) for distribution across platforms.
- Capture spontaneous, in-the-moment content during fashion shows, photoshoots, and events.
- Create content specifically for TikTok and Reels, following their pace, trends, and conventions rather than simply shortening videos.
- Film on set using a phone or camera and edit content to tight deadlines.
- Draw on the visual language of fashion shows, editorials, and campaigns to inform creative work.
- Ensure Balmain’s brand identity is expressed in every piece of content produced.
- Monitor visual trends in fashion and luxury across Instagram, TikTok, editorials, books, magazines, and exhibitions.
- Use AI image-generation tools such as Midjourney, DALL-E, and Firefly to create mood boards, explore concepts, or accelerate ideation; this is a plus, not a requirement.
- Independently manage urgent, last-minute requests, particularly during fashion-show week and events.
- Protect the confidentiality of collections and campaigns that have not yet been unveiled.
- Implement the team’s direction while contributing creative ideas.
- Organize and archive files circulated across print, video, and social media, including version management and naming conventions.
Qualifications
- Currently studying at an art, photography, or graphic-design school and has prior experience in a similar role.
- Proficient in social-media formats, digital marketing materials, and print materials.
- Has created content using existing images and/or original footage.
- Strong knowledge of and interest in art, architecture, imagery, and fashion history, in both digital and print formats.
- Curious, autonomous, and proactive in proposing ideas.
- Fluent in English.
- Proficient in photo and video editing and the Microsoft Office suite.
