Summary

UK-Based Viral TikTok & Instagram Creator for Travel Language App 🚀 Looking for a Proven Viral Short-Form Content Creator — UK Based We’re launching a mobile language-learning app designed specifically for people who are about to go on holiday and want to quickly learn the phrases they’ll actually need during their trip. Our initial audience is British travellers going to Spain, so we are specifically looking for a creator who is based in the UK and understands British humour, travel culture and how UK audiences consume content on TikTok and Instagram. This is NOT a traditional UGC role. We’re looking for someone who genuinely understands organic viral content and knows how to turn a product into entertaining short-form videos that people would watch even if there were no product being promoted. 🇬🇧 You Must Be UK-Based This is an important requirement. You should: * Currently be based in the United Kingdom * Understand British humour, slang and internet culture * Understand how British audiences behave on TikTok and Instagram * Be familiar with British holiday culture — especially trips to Spain * Be comfortable appearing naturally in content aimed at a UK audience 🔥 Proven Viral Track Record We are specifically looking for someone who has demonstrated the ability to create viral short-form content. Ideally, within the last 30 days, you have: * Created or been directly responsible for at least 2 videos that went viral * Created at least one video that reached 10M+ ORGANIC views within 7 days However, we are also open to exceptional creators who can demonstrate consistent viral performance across multiple recent videos, even if they haven’t hit exactly 10M views. For example, several recent videos reaching 500K, 1M, 2M, 5M+ views can demonstrate the type of consistency we’re looking for. Organic performance is important. Paid/ad-driven views do not count. Please provide links and, where possible, analytics screenshots showing the performance. 🎯 What Makes This Role Different We DON’T want someone who simply receives a script, films it and sends us the video. We want a creator who thinks: “How can I make this idea entertaining enough that someone would watch it even if they’d never heard of this app?” You should understand: * Scroll-stopping hooks * Watch-time and retention * Pattern interrupts * Fast pacing * Storytelling * Curiosity * Relatable humour * TikTok-native editing * Current sounds and formats * Shareability * Comment triggers * Creating content that reaches non-followers organically Most importantly, you should understand the difference between: ❌ Making an advertisement and ✅ Making entertaining TikTok/Reels content that happens to feature a product 🇪🇸 The Initial Content Angle Our first audience will be: British travellers preparing for a holiday in Spain. The app helps them quickly learn practical Spanish for real situations such as: * Ordering food and drinks * Checking into a hotel * Taking a taxi * Asking for directions * Shopping * Going to the beach * Handling awkward situations * Understanding common expressions * Dealing with emergencies We want to turn these situations into highly relatable, entertaining short-form content. Possible angles could include: “POV: You spent 200 days on a language app but still panic when the waiter asks you a question in Spain.” “British tourists when the waiter doesn’t understand ‘dos beers por favor’ 🇬🇧🇪🇸” “You’re flying to Spain next week. Forget learning 5,000 Spanish words — learn THESE first.” “Spanish phrases every Brit should know before landing in Spain.” “Things Brits say in Spain that make locals immediately know you’re British…” These are examples only. We want YOU to bring ideas to us based on what’s currently working on TikTok and Instagram. 📱 What You’ll Do You will: * Research current TikTok & Instagram Reels trends * Identify trends we can quickly adapt to our niche * Develop original viral content concepts * Create strong hooks * Film the content * Edit vertical short-form videos * Add appropriate captions, sounds and transitions * Create multiple creative angles for testing * Analyse what works and suggest new iterations We want someone who can contribute to the creative strategy, not just execute instructions. 📩 How to Apply Start your application with: “VIRAL UK” Then answer the following: 1. Where in the UK are you based? 2. Send links to your 5 best-performing TikToks/Reels from the last 90 days. 3. What were the organic view counts? 4. Which videos went viral within the last 30 days? 5. Have you created a video that reached 10M+ organic views within 7 days? If yes, please provide proof. 6. If not, show us evidence of consistent viral performance across multiple videos. 7. Briefly explain why you believe your best-performing video went viral. 8. Give us 3 TikTok/Reels ideas you would test first for a language app aimed at Brits travelling to Spain. 9. What is your rate per video? 10. What would you charge for an initial test package of 3–5 videos? 💡 Potential Long-Term Collaboration We want to start with a small paid test. If we find the right creator and the content performs well, this could become an ongoing collaboration with regular weekly content. We are much more interested in: Creativity + recent organic results + understanding viral content than: Follower count + expensive camera equipment + polished corporate videos. You do NOT need a huge personal following. You DO need to understand why people stop scrolling, keep watching, share and comment. If you’re UK-based, understand British audiences and can prove you know how to create viral short-form content, we’d love to hear from you.
