About the Role
Creatives single handedly have one of the hardest jobs at our company because they are responsible for developing ideas that have never been done before. Our Creatives are encouraged to shoot for the moon and come up with ideas for bits, scenes, challenges while thinking of how to create the best environment for content to freely form. You have to think of people, places, sets, mechanisms that all culminate into creating a viral video that makes sense for the viewer.
This creative role must translate the creative team’s video outlines into simplified content that utilizes retention analytics. They are the conduit for all things creative, and as such this person must be dialed into not only our frequencies but other current trends and viral content.
To be considered for the role: We want you to pitch a viral 12 minute video using the title Last to Leave Deserted Island, Wins It! There are NO parameters on what you can do with this concept. Assume everything is possible :) Give us a intro, content/bits/story, and outro! Please submit a video of you pitching this content! You can be as creative as you want with the pitch but it must be in video format! The link to submit is:
