Content Creator

Dagger
Atlanta, GA, USA ⚠ [Archived] No Longer Accepting Applicants

Dagger is a close-knit group of deeply driven, passionate, innovative thinkers, makers, and doers. We’re looking to add a Content Creator to our team to help us cultivate ideas and achieve our goal of being the most compelling Atlanta-born agency the industry has ever seen.

As a Content Creator, you’re a jack of all trades from creative concepting to production to post production. You even dabble in motion graphics. You like to make entertaining content and get it out into the world. You work well in a team environment but can also get it done solo, because, when it’s a good idea, you just need to make it like an itch that needs to be scratched. You know your way around production gear, but, if all you have is an iphone, you say, “it’s about the artist, not the tools.” You are plugged into culture and up on trends, and know how to translate cultural conversations into content that makes brands part of the buzz in authentic ways. You have many talents and enjoy trying new things. You’re obsessed with making compelling content that people want to watch over and over and share with their friends. Bonus points if you have experience going viral with content you’ve made!

How can you tell if this role is right for you?

If You’re Really Good At

  • Ideating, shooting, and editing multiple videos each week.
  • Creating well-written, smart and creative content that drives engagement (shares, follows, likes) on an ongoing basis.
  • Displaying knowledge of pop culture, news, and Internet culture. Bonus points for music junkies, movie buffs and those tuned into gaming culture as well.
  • Reading and deciphering creative briefs and translating a brief into captivating content.
  • Taking initiative to find and surface ideas.
  • Having a can-do attitude and the willingness to do what it takes to get the job done.
  • Researching your ideas to find supporting information, citations and media.

And You Have

  • An intimate familiarity with all the social media platforms and their various editing tools (TikTok, Capcut, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
  • A keen eye for design and working knowledge of the full Adobe suite from Premiere and After Effects to Photoshop and Illustrator.
  • At least hobbyist-level photography experience and know your way around a DSLR.
  • Experience shooting everything from trendy TikTok videos to flat lays to table top product shoots to SNL-style sketches.
  • The ability to effectively communicate your ideas and process, and are always adapting that process to changes in technology and social media.
  • Expert collaboration skills. You can think fast on your feet, and you know how to problem solve on the fly.

Extra Credit

  • If you have skills in color correction, audio sweetening, and/or composing silly songs for social.
  • If you have food styling experience
