Freelance Content Creator

About the Role

We're seeking compelling content to amplify our marketing efforts and drive engagement across channels. Our team specializes in SEO, PPC, web development and design, email marketing, and social media marketing. This is a remote, freelance, project-based, contractor position.

Key Responsibilities

This role will include shooting your own video and photography content designed for digital marketing including placements on websites, paid ads, organic TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, etc. You will be responsible for creating new video and photo assets for our team and submitting them based on the assignment deadlines.

Project Workflow

• Project managers will email you with creative brief requests that include the project’s details.
• Review each project offer and accept or reject to take it on.
• Be in communication with our team as you create and submit your content.
• Get content approved and get paid.

Content Focus

Many of our brands are looking to get their products into the hands of content creators to assist in the creation of authentic, high quality user generated content. This includes a range of content types from unboxing, review, try-on, to lifestyle videos and more. Other projects may sometimes entail a more customized creative brief request.

Ideal Candidate Profile

We're primarily looking for creators experienced across industries like fashion, beauty, wellness, consumer products, technology, food and beverage, and experiences and vice industries for those comfortable doing so. We are open to talented applicants from all backgrounds who can create engaging content.

Important Note

This is not an ‘influencer’ role, so you will not be asked to post the content to your own social media profiles (though you are welcome to!). The content you produce will be used by the client to post on their social media, on their website, etc. However, if you're an influencer with strong engagement, we'd be open to considering your application for other types of campaigns.

Opportunity

Whether you're a seasoned freelancer or looking to leverage your professional content creation skills for extra income (and maybe some cool free products), this is a great opportunity to collaborate with exciting brands while producing high-quality photos and videos.

Company Culture & Location

Our company has a strong remote culture and has been supporting global team members for over a decade. Some of our clients are based outside the U.S., so we welcome your application no matter where you're located!
