What to Include in Your Proposal 1. Examples of social media accounts you’ve grown • Include case studies: before/after numbers and how you achieved those results. 2. Your content creation process • From research → concept → scripting → handoff to editors. 3. Platforms you specialise in 4. Tools you use • For research, scripting, planning, and analytics. 5. A 2-minute Loom telling us why you’re the right fit for this position. 6. The name of the course or mentor you’ve worked with (if applicable). We’re looking for a long-term partner, not a short-term freelancer. As the agency grows, there’ll be real opportunities to evolve within the company. If you’re creative, strategic, results-driven and down for freedom, fun, and big growth we’d love to hear from you
