Our tagline is "Bridge to success, powered by data and strategy," and we help companies fill their pipeline through LinkedIn outreach, data enrichment, and full engagement campaigns. We're building our Instagram presence from a strong creative concept and we need someone who can take that concept and turn it into a running content engine — not just edit clips we hand over. The creative direction Our brand story is built on a survival-arena metaphor: businesses are competitors climbing toward a summit that represents financial freedom and revenue growth. Link Prospects is the sponsor who drops the supply crate — leads, dialers, resources, LinkedIn marketing, reporting — that lets our client win. It's cinematic, high-contrast, and emotional. We want the Instagram feed to feel like a film campaign, not a stock-photo B2B page. What you'll do Build and own a monthly Instagram content calendar — Reels, carousels, single posts, and Stories Write hooks, captions, and CTAs that speak to founders, sales directors, and marketing managers Edit cinematic short-form video (Reels, 15–45 seconds) with motion graphics, text animation, sound design, and pacing that holds attention past 3 seconds Produce and adapt visuals from AI-generated source images (we generate concept frames; you refine, composite, brand, and animate them) Apply our brand identity consistently — blue palette (#5882BC / #DDE8FA), logo lockups, typography Repurpose long-form ideas into multi-post series and carousel storytelling Track performance (reach, saves, shares, profile visits, DM inquiries) and report monthly on what to double down on Recommend posting cadence, hashtag and SEO strategy, and Reels trends relevant to B2B What we're looking for 2+ years running Instagram accounts with results you can show us — not just design work A portfolio of short-form video that proves you understand retention, pacing, and hooks Strong editing skills: Premiere Pro, After Effects, or CapCut Pro, plus motion graphics and clean typography Comfortable working with AI-generated imagery and compositing it into polished, realistic frames Excellent written English for captions and hooks (Arabic is a plus but not required) Understanding of B2B and lead generation audiences — you know a post for a sales director is not a post for a consumer brand Self-directed. You'll get a concept and a brand, and we expect you to come back with a plan.

We're hiring on this answer more than anything else. Start your reply with the word SUMMIT so we know you read the full post. Tell us your weekly availability and your rate. Details Ongoing engagement, starting at 15–20 hours per week First month is a paid trial with clear deliverables, then we move to a long-term retainer We'll provide brand assets, concept frames, service information, and client results to use as content Timezone overlap with GCC/Middle East business hours preferred but flexible for the right person
