Trends & Cultural Relevance
Stay deeply tapped into social: trends, sounds, formats, creators, and platform shifts
Identify trends early and translate them into brand-relevant content quickly (and thoughtfully)
Understand the why behind trends, not just the execution
Production & Execution
Shoot and capture content (primarily on iPhone) in both planned and real-time environments

Deeply fluent in social media trends, platform nuances, and content formats

Experience creating and editing short-form video (iPhone + CapCut or similar tools), with a working knowledge of more advanced editing techniques and simple motion/animation
Strong creative instincts and an eye for what makes content engaging
Basic understanding of performance metrics (views, engagement, retention)
Agency experience is a plus, but not required

Knows the difference between a good idea and a good idea for the internet
Can immediately tell when something feels too branded (and how to fix it)
Has strong opinions on hooks – and can explain why something didn’t work
Thinks about content in formats and series, not just one-off posts
Has a camera roll full of saved ideas and references
Sends trend ideas before being asked
