About LaLa Media

LaLa Media is a social-first creative agency specializing in content creation, social media strategy, and brand development. We work closely with brands to create engaging, culturally relevant content designed specifically for today's social platforms.

The Role

We are looking for a Long Island-based Social Media Content Creator to help create ongoing short-form content for a popular restaurant chain.

You will be provided with a content plan and creative direction from the LaLa Media team, then be responsible for independently capturing the necessary content on-site.

The ideal person doesn't need extensive production experience—we're looking for someone who has a strong eye for social content, understands how Reels and TikToks should look and feel, and can confidently execute a content plan without needing constant direction.

Stay current on TikTok trends, Instagram trends, trending sounds, memes, and broader social/internet culture
Communicate with the LaLa Media team to ensure all planned content is captured

Able to follow a creative brief/content plan and execute it independently
