About Our Client

Our client is a video production studio built to bring order to chaos. They help mid-size to enterprise brands create video content that's both beautifully crafted and built to perform, from creative development to production in 30+ cities globally and post-production.

They're known for precision and reliable execution delivered with a human, collaborative, curious approach. They believe the best content starts with a clear understanding of who it's for and where it will live.

The Role

Our client is looking for a Creative Strategist to lead the creative side of their work. You'll own creative development from the initial idea to the final treatment, shaping content that's not just well-made but built to perform.

You'll stay deeply connected to culture and platform trends, connect every piece of content to a clear and impactful social strategy, and help clients understand what works, and what doesn't, across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who blends creative instinct with strategic thinking.

One week you might be pitching a series concept to a client's marketing team, the next you're writing scripts and hooks for a batch of short-form videos, and the next you're analyzing performance data to sharpen future content.

You'll work closely with producers, editors, and clients to ensure great ideas are executed effectively.

What You'll Do

Creative Development

• Concepting: Lead ideation for campaigns, branded series, podcasts, and social-first content, from initial brainstorms through polished concepts.
• Creative documents: Write and own briefs, treatments, scripts, hooks, shot lists, and pitch decks that clearly communicate the idea and how it will come to life.
• Pitching: Present concepts to clients with confidence, articulating the creative vision and strategic rationale behind each idea.
• Creative oversight: Partner with producers and editors throughout production and post-production to protect the integrity of the creative vision and ensure the final work delivers on its objectives.

• Strategy-to-content: Translate client goals into content plans, series formats, and posting cadences that tie directly to measurable outcomes.
• Trend awareness: Stay ahead of platform updates, emerging formats, and cultural moments, identifying which trends are relevant to each brand and which to avoid.
