DESIRABLE

• Understanding of social media best practice across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN

• Hands-on experience creating content for major national and international brands.
• Mentoring from experienced Content Creators, Producers and Creative Directors.
• Opportunities to work across commercial productions, social campaigns and branded content.
• Experience shooting, editing and delivering content across multiple platforms.
• A clear development pathway towards Content Creator and Senior Content Creator roles as your experience grows.
