Digital Content Creator
Company Description
At SPEEDXMEDIA, we build and scale brands through integrated marketing, advertising, creative, and production. Strategy, media, content, and execution live under one roof, allowing us to move quickly, test ideas, and create work that actually performs.
We work with brands across industries and are building a team of people who are creative, curious, culturally aware, and excited about making things, not just talking about making them.
Role Description
SPEEDXMEDIA is looking for a Digital Content Creator who is deeply plugged into internet culture, social media trends, and the way people actually consume content online.
This is an idea-first, hands-on creative role. We want someone who can spot a trend before it feels overdone, turn a loose idea into a strong concept, shoot the content, edit it, write the caption, and get it published.
You should understand what makes someone stop scrolling, why certain formats work on different platforms, and how brands can participate in culture without feeling forced or three weeks late.
You will create content for SPEEDXMEDIA as well as client brands, working closely with our creative, marketing, production, and strategy teams.
This is a full-time, on-site position in the Los Angeles area.
What You'll Do
- Develop original, social-first content ideas for SPEEDXMEDIA and our clients
- Stay constantly dialed into emerging trends, memes, creators, sounds, formats, platform features, and broader internet culture
- Turn trends into brand-relevant concepts rather than simply copying what everyone else is doing
- Concept, shoot, edit, caption, and publish short-form content from start to finish
- Create content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and other relevant platforms
- Film content using phones, cameras, and lightweight production setups depending on the concept
- Edit short-form video with strong pacing, hooks, captions, transitions, sound, and platform-native creative techniques
- Write social copy, hooks, headlines, and captions that feel natural to each platform
- Work with team members, clients, talent, and leadership to capture content
- Adapt one creative idea into multiple pieces of content and platform-specific variations
- Participate in brainstorming sessions and consistently bring new concepts to the table
- Manage content from concept through publication without requiring constant direction
- Maintain content calendars and ensure approved content is published accurately and on time
- Review performance data to understand what is working and use those insights to improve future creative
- Experiment constantly with new formats, creative approaches, tools, and platforms
Who We're Looking For
You are someone who naturally notices what is happening online.
You probably send people TikToks before they have seen them, understand why certain creators are suddenly everywhere, and can immediately think of three ways a brand could turn a cultural moment into content.
Just as importantly, you can actually execute the idea.
You are comfortable picking up a phone or camera, directing a quick shoot, opening an editing platform, building the final piece, and publishing it.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly creative and constantly generating new ideas
- Deeply familiar with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging social platforms
- Strong at short-form video editing and understands pacing, hooks, retention, and storytelling
- Comfortable shooting and producing their own content
- Fluent in tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar platforms
- Able to identify trends early and determine which ones actually make sense for a brand
- Strong at writing short-form social copy and captions
- Comfortable working quickly and producing a meaningful volume of content
- Able to take an idea from concept to published post independently
- Collaborative, organized, and comfortable working across multiple brands and projects
- Curious about AI, emerging creative technology, and new ways of producing content
Experience
- 2+ years of hands-on experience creating social or digital content for a brand, agency, media company, creator, or similar environment preferred
- A portfolio or social accounts demonstrating strong short-form content creation and editing ability is required
- Agency experience is helpful but not required
- A degree in Marketing, Communications, Media, Film, or a related field is welcome but not required. Strong work matters more to us than the name of your degree.
What Will Make You Stand Out
- You have grown or meaningfully contributed to a social account
- You can show us content you personally conceptualized, filmed, edited, and published
- You understand internet culture beyond following a list of trending sounds
- You have strong creative instincts and opinions about what makes content good
- You are comfortable appearing on camera when a concept calls for it
- You have experience working with creators, influencers, or talent
- You experiment with AI tools and emerging creative technology
- You have examples of content that generated meaningful engagement, reach, or audience growth
Most importantly: send us your work.
We care much more about seeing what you can create than reading a perfectly formatted résumé.
Salary $4K based on experience, with both W-2 and 1099 options available.
