Description
We're looking for a creative, experienced, funny, and fascinating video producer to generate a continual stream of hilarious and heartwarming content across our sites. He or she will be a one-stop shop for potentially viral videos - everything from 10 second clips that take half a day to make to more involved stories that might take a couple months of planning and production.If your brain is awhirl with funny, happy, and strategic video ideas and you'd like someone to pay you to make them happen, please contact us.
Skills & experience...
Your videos are awesome. This seems obvious, but in case it's not, we're looking for someone who can point to work they've done that kicks ass. You've made viral videos before - or at least videos that should have gone viral - and we want to see them.
You are familiar with the viral web. You understand that our corner of the web is all about happy and heartwarming content and that the quality of this content, for better or worse, is judged on numbers of clicks, views, and shares. You don't feel for a moment that this reflects poorly on content made to go viral, because this is content that entertains, and that makes people happy.
You're excited to entertain. Making people happy makes you happy.
You're adaptable. We're constantly learning and changing based on what works with our audiences. Does this describe you, too? Being set in your ways or in your artistic ideals won't work here.
Project management. You have the organizational skills to plan, produce, and publish a video efficiently, whether it's a 1-person, 1-day project or a 10-person, 2-month project. You can confidently keep several of these projects moving forward at the same time.
Self-motivated. You care enough to do something crazy. We don't want to ask for your ideas every day. We want to tell you to chill out because you have too many ideas on your own. And when you've been given the green light on an idea, you drive the project forward with little need for oversight.
Cunning. You push every boundary except ethical ones in your creative attempts to grow traffic and improve performance.
Self-learner. When you need to know something that you don't already, you figure it out.
Confident and personable. You can interact well with the team, pitch your ideas, and convince the rest of us to try your crazy ideas.
Idea-generation."Brainstorm" is too mild of a word for the insane rush of creative thought spinning around in your mind.
