A View From The Top

Jobsite on location

Some of you may have heard the exciting news already, but for those who haven't - today Jobsite is launching the largest ever brand advertising campaign undertaken by an Online Recruitment company.

The adverts took two days to film on location in Notting Hill, London. I've been in front of the camera before but never behind (much less nerve racking), so it was something totally different for me, here's a couple of shots I got on my camera while we were filming.

We were up against the elements with the unpredictable British weather and time constraints were tight - so when it started to pour down I thought the worst. But Gazebos and umbrellas shot up faster than you can say 'action' and the director Jeff Stark used the weather to our advantage; including the rain in the footage. Jeff's energy was truly infectious and eventually brought the sun out.

The ads feature actor Max Beesley (from Hotel Babylon) Max was great to work with, and kept morale up between takes. If you want to see a behind the scenes look at the shoot, we made a special 'making of' mini documentary.

This campaign marks an exciting new era for Jobsite. It's the next logical step in our progression and part of our long term commitment and goal to become the UK's best known online recruitment brand. The first TV ad will premiere during the ad break of Coronation Street tonight - watching Corrie with a glass of champagne will be a first for me! But if you can't wait until then, click here for a sneak preview of the ads before they launch on TV this evening.
