• Own the IG and TikTok presence initially, with opportunities to expand and build @dmgnewmedia on other platforms, including LinkedIn and a @dmgnewmedia website.
• Ensure content is high quality, the hooks are sharp, and the final edit is viral-worthy.
• Ensure our personality is consistent across social, PR, and industry partnerships.

Who You Are

• A strong instinct for brand building in a social-first world.
• Proven experience creating content that actually cuts through on major platforms.
• Ability to translate complex business wins into simple, compelling narratives.
• Comfortable working alongside leadership and creators.
• Deep understanding of modern media and creator culture.
