- Ensure edits are optimised for engagement while staying aligned with brand tone

- Adapt creative formats for different platforms while maintaining consistency
- Work within existing brand guidelines rather than reinventing styles

- Social Media Copywriters / Schedulers (who write captions and schedules)
- Upload all finished video and static creatives to Rella (social media scheduling tool)
- Ensure assets are clearly named, correctly formatted, and ready for internal and client review before publishing

- Manufacturing
- Hospitality
- Business Services
- Technology & SaaS

- Comfortable working to deadlines and managing multiple projects
Nice-to-haves
- Experience uploading and managing content within social media scheduling tools
- Basic understanding of what performs well across different social platforms
