Social Media & Creative Partner — Construction Brands (LinkedIn, Podcast Clips, IG Reels)

We run Ideal Rev, a sales and marketing firm that works exclusively with commercial construction companies — GCs, subcontractors, and specialty trades. Our own brand is growing fast on LinkedIn, we produce content for our construction clients, and our founder has a podcast that needs to be chopped into clips and published consistently. We need a creative right hand to keep the whole machine running. MUST HAVE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE. This is the dealbreaker. If you've never created content for a contractor, builder, developer, or construction-adjacent brand, this won't be a fit. You need to know the difference between a GC and a sub, and your visuals shouldn't look like they came from a SaaS startup. What you'll be doing: - Turning ideas, voice notes, and rough drafts into polished LinkedIn posts — for Ideal Rev's brand AND for our construction clients (owners of GC and contracting firms) - Chopping our founder's podcast into short clips — pulling the best moments, editing them into Reels with captions and hooks, and posting them to the founder's Instagram on a consistent schedule - Designing supporting visuals — carousels, graphics, simple charts, post images - General creative support — event promo graphics, one-pagers, content repurposing - Helping us stay consistent: multiple accounts, regular publishing — you keep the calendar full and the machine running What we're looking for: - Proven experience creating social content in the construction space (show us examples — this is the first thing we'll look at) - Strong writing instincts for LinkedIn — direct, plain-spoken, no corporate fluff - Solid design skills (Canva, Adobe, or similar) and short-form video editing (CapCut, Premiere, Descript, or similar) — podcast clipping experience is a big plus - Comfortable writing in different voices — our clients are construction owners with their own personalities, and their posts need to sound like them, not like us - Self-directed — you can take a loose brief and come back with something good, not a list of questions - Reliable and communicative — we move fast and post consistently Nice to have: - Experience growing a founder-led or personal brand on LinkedIn - Photography/videography sense for B2B (job sites, events, behind-the-scenes) - Familiarity with B2B lead gen (you understand content is for pipeline, not vanity metrics) How we'll work: Weekly rhythm. We supply the ideas, stories, podcast episodes, and raw material — you turn them into finished content across our brand, our clients' LinkedIn accounts, and the founder's Instagram. We'll start with a small paid trial (a few posts plus one podcast clip), then move to an ongoing weekly cadence if it's a fit — roughly 10-20 hrs/week. To apply: 1. Share 2-3 examples of social content you've created for construction or trades businesses, and at least one example of short-form video/podcast clips you've edited (links or files) 2. Tell us in 2-3 sentences why construction content is different from other B2B content 3. Include the word "hardhat" at the top of your proposal so we know you read this We respond to every serious application. Generic copy-paste proposals get archived.
