ABOUT TABOO

n

From the earliest age, we’re taught to follow bad rules. Colour inside the lines. Act your age. Don’t be weird.

n

The marketing world has its own bad rules — pointless processes, outdated customs, limiting conventions.

n

TABOO wasn’t born from that world. We broke the rules that didn’t serve us or our clients — and reimagined the rest. That’s what set us apart. Our work felt different because our approach was different. People noticed. Culture cared. And our clients did to.

n

Twenty-five years on, we’re still proving that doing it wrong is the only way to get it right.

n

We’re an independent collective of rule-breakers, risk-takers and cultural shapers — and we’re looking for someone who speaks our language.

THE ROLE n

TABOO is on the hunt for a Senior Experiential Producer who knows how to bring bold, ambitious ideas to life. You’ll be steering a portfolio of experiential projects—from small activations to large-scale events, including a key part of a major global sporting event. Your role is to turn big ideas into seamless executions, owning production from start to finish.

n

That means managing budgets, locking in suppliers, handling logistics, and ensuring every event runs like a dream. You’ll be across every detail—sourcing the best suppliers, creating rock-solid schedules, tracking costs, assessing risks, and keeping clients informed. Your expertise will shape creative concepts from the start, making sure they’re feasible, on budget, and delivered to perfection.

n

You’ll also be a leader—mentoring junior producers as the team evolves, guiding them through the wild world of production, and helping them grow.



Collaboration is key; you’ll work closely with our creative, design, and account teams, ensuring production elevates every idea. And when things don’t go to plan? You’ll be the one who stays calm, finds a solution, and keeps things moving.
