Job Description: We are a growing digital marketing agency looking for a world-class Direct-Response Video Editor and Motion Designer to create premium, high-converting video ads for our clients. We want our ads to look like elite, high-budget studio productions. If your editing style relies on basic auto-captions, generic templates, or slow storytelling, please do not apply. We need someone with an exceptional eye for aesthetic layout, pacing, and premium styling. 🚨 MANDATORY REQUIREMENT: YOU MUST SHOW EXAMPLES 🚨 Do not send a generic cover letter. To be considered, you must provide links to your best short-form marketing ad creatives (9:16 or 4:5 formats).

Applications without specific video ad portfolio links will be automatically rejected. Key Responsibilities: Elite Creative Editing: Assemble fast-paced, highly engaging short-form video ads optimized for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Kinetic Typography: Design and animate crisp, modern, ultra-clean text overlays. Your layouts must look sharp, professional, and perfectly timed. Advanced Sound Design: Select premium audio tracks, cut flawlessly to the beat, and layer in precise sound effects (whooshes, hits, text pops) to create an immersive, professional audio experience. Direct-Response Execution: Implement proven marketing frameworks (high-impact 3-second hooks, rapid pacing changes every 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, and strong call-to-action end cards). Compensation & Payment Structure: We are looking for a long-term partner and are highly flexible on how we structure payment. Depending on your experience, speed, and the quality shown in your portfolio examples, we can structure this as: A flexible hourly rate A fixed price per completed video asset A predictable monthly fixed retainer for a set volume of ads Rates and structures are fully negotiable during the interview stage based entirely on the strength of your portfolio examples. How to Apply: Start your application with the phrase "Premium Creative" so we know you read the whole post. Provide direct links to your top 2–3 best video ad examples. State your preferred payment structure (Hourly, Per-Video, or Monthly Retainer).
