Geriatric Millennials - recruiting for Visual Content Creator
Visual Content Creator
We are looking for a content creator working with two thought leaders Jimmy McLoughlin and Dr Eliza Filby principally to create high production value video content for YouTube, that will also need to be repurposed across other social channels, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter.
You will work 2 days a week with Jimmy and 2 days a week with Eliza (Monday-Thursday, further flexibility is possible)
Jimmy is a former Downing Street adviser on business and entrepreneurship and now runs a podcast on Jobs of the Future, which is regularly in the top 10 business podcasts in the UK, with over 25,000 listeners per month. We cover a wide range of issues from the future of farming to NFTs and interviewed Ben Francis, Rishi Sunak and Anne Boden.
Eliza is a writer, speaker and podcast host who specialises in generational change, analysing how society is changing in terms of its consumers, workers and citizens. She also hosts the ‘It’s All Relative’ podcast, in which she interviews two members of the same famous family but from different generations to discuss the generation gap and has a fortnightly newsletter which goes out to over 1000 subscribers..
Role
This is therefore a varied role creating visuals and videos for those at the forefront of discussions around the future of work, society and culture. We’ll be open about the fact that the role is quite a blank canvas, but we’ll give you the tools and material you need to paint as vivid a picture as possible.
You will work closely with Eliza and Jimmy on content projects; designing a content creation calendar, planning and helping with filming/editing YouTube videos, podcast promotion and then repurposing this content across other platforms: from Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter. You will be helping disseminate new and exciting knowledge to a broad audience, building the content and reputation of Eliza and Jimmy.
Mentoring from both Jimmy and Eliza to help you on your career path will be part of the course. If you invest in us, we will help you develop your skills, network, CV and profile.
Prior Experience
This is a great opportunity for applicants who have experience in high-value video and content creation and have a proven track record in visual creativity, long-form editing and social media marketing. Experience and expertise in Final Cut Pro is essential (this is the editing software we will be using).
We need someone who is creative, a visual thinker and who knows how to communicate ideas and opinions effectively over socials, in different timeframes- shorts/long form, recognising that each platform has a different culture, visual expectations and requirements.
Working with two geriatric millennials who feel old every time they open TikTok; we need help in disseminating our research and expertise to new audiences. Knowledge and experience of animation would be a bonus!
