Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only

Summary

We're looking for multiple UGC creators/actors to film short, authentic-style video ads for a B2B software product. These will run on Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and LinkedIn. We need natural, conversational delivery — think "person talking to a friend," not a commercial read. We're casting for 4 different videos, each with a different persona. You can apply for one or more. This is a self-filmed, remote gig. You'll film on your phone (vertical, 9:16) in a clean, well-lit space — home office, kitchen counter, car, wherever fits the persona. We'll provide a script and short direction notes for each role. Roles we're casting Role 1 — "The Walkthrough" A relatable professional sitting at a laptop, screen-recording style. You'll point to a few things on screen as on-screen text appears (we'll provide the screen recording — you just need to film yourself pointing/reacting at a desk, to be combined in editing). Confident, slightly excited energy. Role 2 — Agency Owner / Fractional CMO Someone who manages marketing for multiple client accounts. Confident, a little wry/self-aware. Talking head, direct to camera. Role 3 — Small Business Owner Industry-ambiguous — could be a law firm, dental practice, home services company, etc. Casual, credible, results-focused energy. Direct to camera. Role 4 — Marketing Manager / Ops Person (POV style) A "morning routine" style video — coffee in frame, laptop open, walking through a screen on your computer while narrating to camera. Slightly lo-fi, like a personal vlog rather than a produced ad. Light comedic timing for the closing line. What we provide Full script for your role (20–60 seconds of dialogue depending on role) Brief tone/direction notes Reference examples of the style we're going for What we need from you A vertical (9:16) video, well-lit, clear audio (use a lav mic or quiet room — no background noise/music) Natural delivery — memorize the script but deliver it like you're talking to a friend, not reading Light screen-recording cooperation for Role 1 (we'll guide you on this) Willingness to do 2–3 takes if we request adjustments after first review Fast turnaround — we're looking to have all footage delivered within 4 days of hire To apply, please include A short (15–30 sec) video sample of you talking to camera, in a similar tone to a casual testimonial or vlog (doesn't need to be scripted — just show us your on-camera presence) Which role(s) you're interested in (you may apply to multiple) Your typical turnaround time for a single video once a script is provided Budget Flat fee per video, paid per completed/approved deliverable. Budget will be discussed with shortlisted candidates based on role and experience. Timeline We're hiring on a rolling basis and want to move quickly — please apply if you're available to film within the next week.
