Social Media Video Editor - Business News Recaps (Merch & Branding Trends)

About the brand: Event Outfitters is a certified women-owned premium branded merchandise and corporate gifting company serving Fortune 500 companies, universities, and sports organizations. We’re building a short-form video series recapping timely, trending merch and branding stories, with a clear business takeaway at the end of each one. The format: Fast-turnaround vertical videos (30–60 seconds) recapping a current merch, branding, or marketing news story, ending with a practical lesson viewers can apply to their own business. The founder records short voiceovers in batches, you build the visual layer around them: screen recordings or stills of the news story, captions, pacing, and a clean visual “the takeaway” moment at the end. What you’ll do • Edit voiceover + sourced footage/screenshots into a polished, fast-paced vertical video with word-timed captions • Source 1–2 trending merch/branding/marketing news stories per week yourself, in addition to stories the founder flags • Keep turnaround fast, these are timely stories, not evergreen content, so a video sitting in a queue for a week loses its relevance • Maintain a consistent visual style (captions, pacing, brand colors) across the series What we’re looking for • Strong short-form editing skills (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve) • Genuine interest in or familiarity with retail, marketing, or branding news — you should already be someone who’d notice these stories on your own • Word-timed, phone-readable caption work — no sloppy auto-captions • Comfortable working from voiceover + b-roll rather than a single continuous filmed source • Fast, reliable turnaround (a story-driven video can’t sit for a week) Tools we use: Premiere Pro / CapCut / Canva To apply: Send 2–3 examples of short-form business or news-commentary style videos you’ve edited (faceless or voiceover-driven preferred). We’ll follow up with a small paid test video before any ongoing commitment. Volume: 3 videos per week
