Social Video Creator- Role Description
Do you love creating video content? Do you have a passion for the world of advertising and branded content? Do you want to make a real impact in the next role you choose? Are you prepared to think for yourself, get your hands dirty and learn new skills in a fast paced environment?
Mattr Media is a London based video content agency on a mission to help brands tell stories that well, matter. Part of that mission means sharing our knowledge on how you actually tell those meaningful stories for today’s audiences and that’s where you come in… Your role will be creating, editing and then releasing regular original video content that teaches brands how to “matter” as well as helping us add value wherever we can for our amazing clients.
