• Translate creative briefs and campaign ideas into engaging, high-performing social video concepts.
• Stay tapped into short-form video trends, editing techniques, trending audio, and creator culture.Contribute fresh, trend-aware ideas in brainstorms and help shape the content calendar with original concepts.
