SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO CONTENT CREATOR

Full-Time | St. Louis, Missouri

About SEVEN20 Media

SEVEN20 is a growing media strategy and advertising agency based in St. Louis.

We believe great creative deserves great distribution—and great advertising starts with being curious enough to challenge what's expected.

We work across clients, industries, platforms and ideas. We don't do something a certain way simply because that's the way it's always been done.

We ask questions.

We challenge assumptions.

We experiment.

We look for better ideas.

And we're building a team of talented people who want to create exceptional work, keep getting better and help build something special.

We're looking for people who care about the work, take ownership, hold themselves to a high standard and leave their ego at the door.

The SEVEN20 Standard

These aren't words we want hanging on a wall. They're the principles behind how we think, how we work and who we are.

BE TRUE. — Character Matters.

BE CURIOUS. — Ask Great Questions.

BE AMBITIOUS. — Create What's Next.

BE DISCIPLINED. — Do the Work.

BE EXCEPTIONAL. — More Than Expected.

BE ACCOUNTABLE. — Own the Outcome.

BE SELFLESS. — Team First.

Seven principles. One standard.

The Role

SEVEN20 is looking for a Social Media Video Content Creator to concept, capture and help develop exceptional video content for SEVEN20 and our clients.

This isn't simply a videographer position.

We're looking for a creator—someone who understands social media, storytelling, visual style and what makes people stop scrolling.

Someone who can walk into a business, understand the people behind it, recognize what makes it interesting and find the story worth telling.

You'll work across different clients, industries, personalities and creative challenges—creating everything from social-first video and advertising creative to interviews, brand stories, product content, behind-the-scenes content and formats we haven't thought of yet.

Some ideas will require professional cameras, lighting and carefully planned production.

Others might require an iPhone and a great idea.

The camera is a tool—not the idea.

What You will Do

• Concept original social video ideas for SEVEN20 and our clients.

• Develop strong hooks, stories and visual concepts designed for today's social platforms.

• Plan and lead video shoots from concept through production.

• Direct business owners, executives, employees and others who may not be accustomed to being on camera.

• Capture high-quality interviews, B-roll, products, environments and social-first creative.

• Understand professional cameras, lighting and audio—and recognize when simpler production will create better content.

• Develop a visual approach that strengthens each client's individual brand.

• Collaborate with editing resources to take projects from raw footage to finished content.

• Review finished work and help maintain a consistently high creative standard.

• Stay immersed in social platforms, creators, trends, storytelling techniques, technology and emerging formats.

• Experiment with new creative approaches, tools and AI when they can make the work better.

• Take feedback without ego, solve problems and continually evaluate how your work can improve.

How We Work

This isn't a traditional 8-to-5 desk job.

Much of your time will be spent on location working directly with SEVEN20 clients. Depending on the project, that might mean a morning shoot, an afternoon production or occasionally an evening or weekend production.

The work determines the schedule.

When you're not on location or needed for a scheduled meeting, you'll primarily work remotely with flexibility in how you structure your day.

But flexibility at SEVEN20 doesn't mean waiting for someone to give you something to do.

If the production schedule is light, look for what's next.

Develop an idea for a client. Create something for SEVEN20. Research what's changing on social. Experiment with a new format. Learn a new skill. Improve a process. Bring an idea to the team.

If you're waiting for an assignment, you're waiting too long.

We don't believe in creating busywork or measuring someone's value by how long they sit at a desk.

We care about initiative, communication, preparation, commitments, growth and exceptional work.

High flexibility. High accountability.

And we believe energy matters.

Bring energy to the room. Bring energy to the idea. Bring energy to the client. Bring energy to the team.

Energy creates momentum.

Who We Are Looking For

Talent matters more to us than tenure.

You may already have professional agency or brand experience.

You may also be just getting started.

We're especially interested in emerging creators with exceptional creative potential, strong instincts, great character and the ambition to keep getting better.

You should have:

• A portfolio that demonstrates strong creative instincts.

• An understanding of social-first video and storytelling.

• Working knowledge of cameras, lighting and audio.

• A strong eye for composition, pacing and visual storytelling.

• Familiarity with Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or similar tools.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

• Confidence directing people who aren't accustomed to being on camera.

• Curiosity and a genuine desire to learn.

• The ability to receive feedback without ego.

• Initiative—the instinct to find what needs to be done instead of waiting to be told.

• The discipline to follow through and the character to do what you say you're going to do.

A degree is not required.

Years of agency experience are not required.

Talent, character and potential matter.

Compensation & Benefits

We want the people helping build SEVEN20 to share in its success.

Our compensation package includes:

• Competitive Base Salary — Based on experience, portfolio, creative ability and overall fit.

• Company Profit Sharing — When SEVEN20 wins, our team wins too. Eligible team members have the opportunity to participate in company profit sharing based on the success of the business.

• Health Insurance — Health insurance options are available to full-time team members.

• Professional + Career Growth — As SEVEN20 grows, we want the people helping build it to grow with it.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

We're more interested in what you can create than how long your résumé is.

Along with your application, send us a link to your portfolio or work samples.

Show us 3–5 pieces you're genuinely proud of and tell us what you personally contributed to each—concepting, directing, shooting, editing or something else.

Your work doesn't have to come from an agency.

It could include freelance work, school projects, sports content, musicians, local businesses, your own social channels or something you created simply because you had an idea.

And there's one thing we'd especially like to see:

Show us something you created that nobody asked you to make, something you love to create.

Please send links to video content rather than attaching large video files.

If you're curious, creative, ambitious and ready to hold yourself to a high standard, we'd like to meet you.

Come help us create what's next at SEVEN20.
