• Contribute original content to GeistM’s internal UGC and photography library.

• Manage multiple creative projects from concept through delivery while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.
• Use AI tools to accelerate ideation, scripting, briefing, editing, design, and creative iteration.

• Experience using advertising performance data or creative insights to inform concepts and iterations.
• Strong concepting and copywriting skills, including experience developing hooks, scripts, briefs, messaging angles, and shot lists.
• Hands‑on experience filming, designing, editing, and producing creative assets from scratch.
• Proficiency in tools such as Cap Cut, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and/or Canva.
• Strong understanding of design principles, social platforms, content formats, and paid media requirements.
• Excellent communication, organization, and project‑management skills.
• Experience working directly with creators or influencers is preferred.
• Comfort appearing on camera and recording voiceovers is strongly preferred.
• Experience using AI tools to support and streamline creative production.
