This role is part of our Creative team based in Amsterdam.
Our team is a vibrant mix of talents, ranging from Brand Strategists, Creatives, and Influencer Marketers to Account managers, Producers, and Video editors. As a creative digital marketing agency, we mix big brand thinking with the best of what today’s technology has to offer to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like Bol and Philips to name a few.
JOB PURPOSES
This role is part of our social creative team. We deliver quality content across all social channels that is platform-first, engaging and always on trend. The team is small but growing and incredibly versatile & talented. The Social Creatives are responsible for ideating, creating, and posting the most engaging and on trend social content for a range of well-known clients for the Dutch market. Have you ever come across a crazy edit for bol.com or a street interview for Grolsch? That’s a very good overview of what your activities will look like!
Editing videos is an important part of this role, but luckily not the only one! You will also regularly come up with ideas and film content yourself; you might even star in one of them! We usually create our videos with an iPhone, so it’s a plus if you have some experience with filming on iPhone. Which is perfect for social!
Who are we looking for?
First and foremost, we are looking for someone who is completely immersed in social media; you consume social content like salty peanuts at your local pub. You're up to date with the latest TikTok trends, and just like us, you can't get that one viral sound out of your head.
You have a passion for video, and Premiere Pro holds no secrets for you; Ripple delete? Of course! Normalizing audio peaks to -1 dB? Let's do it!
You're a video editor at heart, but you secretly enjoy thinking conceptually and creatively about video content as well! Especially with social content, the edit often plays a crucial role in the overall humor and vibe of the video, so you have a significant impact there.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Edit short-form videos for our social clients
- Help concepting and scripting ideas for organic + paid social (planned and reactive) that connect brands to communities and culture

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- Ability to react quickly within a fast-paced environment
- A love for learning new things
- High attention to detail
