Social Media Content CreatorAbout Creative Loft
Creative Loft is a marketing and creative agency producing strategic, engaging, and high-quality content for clients across a wide range of industries.
We are looking for a creative, culturally aware, and social-media-native Content Creator who understands what captures attention online and how to transform ideas, trends, and brand messages into engaging, relevant, and shareable content.
Role Overview
The Social Media Content Creator will be responsible for developing, scripting, filming, editing, and delivering platform-native content for Creative Loft and its clients.
The role will focus primarily on short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, and other relevant digital platforms.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of internet culture, audience behaviour, storytelling, hooks, pacing, trends, and the elements that drive engagement and content performance.

- Research and identify relevant trends, sounds, formats, memes, conversations, and cultural moments.

- Transform products, services, locations, events, and everyday brand moments into engaging social media concepts.
- Develop recurring content series that audiences can easily recognise and follow.
- Contribute ideas during creative meetings, campaign planning sessions, and brainstorming discussions.
- Maintain awareness of platform trends, creator styles, audience preferences, and emerging content formats.

- Develop storyboards, shot sequences, and content outlines when required.
Content Production
- Plan, film, and produce vertical short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, and other platforms.
- Create content using smartphones, cameras, microphones, lighting equipment, tripods, and stabilisation tools.
- Capture interviews, reactions, behind-the-scenes moments, products, services, team members, events, locations, and lifestyle content.
- Direct employees, models, influencers, creators, clients, or other participants during filming.
- Be comfortable appearing on camera when required.
- Produce authentic creator-style and user-generated-style content in addition to polished branded content.
- Respond quickly to timely trends, events, and content opportunities.
- Ensure content remains aligned with brand standards while maintaining a natural and platform-native style.
Editing and Content Delivery
- Edit short-form videos using strong pacing, cuts, captions, music, sound effects, transitions, and platform-appropriate visual elements.
- Create multiple versions of content for different platforms, formats, audiences, or campaign objectives.
- Add subtitles and on-screen text that are accurate, readable, and visually engaging.
- Apply basic colour correction, audio enhancement, resizing, and visual adjustments when required.
- Ensure all content meets the technical specifications of each social media platform.
- Deliver completed content according to agreed schedules and campaign deadlines.
- Organise raw footage, project files, edited content, and final exports using clear file-management systems.
- Complete requested revisions accurately and within the agreed timeline.
Content Performance and Optimisation
- Review content performance using metrics such as views, watch time, retention, engagement, shares, saves, comments, and click-through rates.
- Identify which hooks, formats, topics, durations, and creative approaches perform best.

- Apply performance insights to improve future content.
- Balance trends and performance objectives with each client’s brand identity and communication standards.
- Stay informed about platform updates, algorithm changes, creator culture, and audience behaviour.
