The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) seeks the services of an audio video (“A/V”) creative producer (“Producer”) to provide audio video content to advance CPB’s mission in promoting and strengthening civil society through educational content and resources. The producer must be available upon short notice and will often be expected to provide the final product within a few days of receiving the assignment.
CPB anticipates most of the projects will take place remotely or within the Washington, D.C. metro area with the potential for other locations throughout the United States. The producer will be required to provide a wide range of audio video services at CPB’s request, which may include, but are not limited to, those described below.
a. Produce strictly promotional A/V content for CPB supported initiatives and/or public media programming to showcase at system events, national stakeholder meetings and online platforms (such as www.cpb.org and CPB-controlled social media channels), as well as for use by stations at local stakeholder meetings and events;
b. Film CPB sessions at industry events and other meetings for use on CPB.org or potential future use in promotional videos. Such events include:
• CPB participation at station events;
• CPB-sponsored activities at public media system events; and
• CPB’s Board of Directors meetings.
c. Develop A/V content for promotional use by stations and on CPB’s website;
d. Film interviews and brief testimonials ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes in length. The testimonials may include CPB senior executives, public media talent, or key stakeholders in public media; and
e. Edit existing A/V and digital content.
CPB expects to retain the Producer for a term of two years (24 months). The Producer will be compensated on an hourly basis during the initial contract term. At the expiration, CPB will have, in its sole discretion, the right to renew the agreement for two additional one-year terms with compensation on an hourly basis. CPB estimates approximately 300 hours per year for audio video services during the initial contract term and any renewal period.
