I’m looking for someone who is creative, very tech-savvy, understands current social media trends and algorithms, and can edit content quickly and efficiently. A lot of my content will focus on lifestyle, mom life, GRWMs, “come with me” videos, day-in-the-life content, voiceovers, fashion/beauty, and everyday moments. Some weeks, I’ll film the content myself and will just need you to edit and piece everything together. Other times, I’d like you to meet with me in person to help film, brainstorm ideas, plan content, and bring different concepts to life.
