PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY — IMPORTANT DETAILS INCLUDED We are not looking for a generic video editor. We are looking for someone who understands comedy, understands social media psychology, understands audience behavior, and knows how to turn long-form content into highly engaging short-form clips that drive views, engagement, audience growth, and ticket sales. Our agency works with many of the biggest names in stand-up comedy, entertainment, podcasting, and digital media. The content you create will be viewed by millions of people across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms. This is a fast-paced, high-volume position that requires creativity, speed, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes content perform. COMEDY KNOWLEDGE IS REQUIRED Our agency works with a variety of stand-up comedians. Being able to consume comedy content and understand the fundamentals of joke structure is critical. You should understand: • Setups and punchlines • Callbacks • Crowd work • Tags • Act-outs • Misdirection • Character development within a bit • Timing and pacing One of the most important parts of this role is preserving the integrity of the joke while maximizing its performance on social media. Being funny is not enough. Knowing where to start the clip, how to build curiosity, when to cut, what to remove, and how to maximize retention without ruining the joke is essential. SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT STRATEGY IS REQUIRED We are not interested in assembly-line editors who simply trim clips and add captions. We are looking for editors who understand why content succeeds on social media. You should know how to identify and edit clips that contain: • A strong hook within the first 1-3 seconds • Curiosity and discovery • Escalation and tension • Emotional payoff • A satisfying punchline • Retention-driving edits • Shareability • Watch-time optimization This applies to: • Stand-up comedy clips • Crowd work clips • Podcast clips • Interviews • Talk-to-camera videos • Vlogs • Behind-the-scenes content • Tour content • Promotional content • Advertising creatives You should understand the differences between: • Facebook • Instagram Reels • TikTok • YouTube Shorts • Long-form YouTube content and how content should be packaged differently for each platform.

You must be comfortable working efficiently while maintaining a high level of quality control. GRAPHIC DESIGN RESPONSIBILITIES While video editing is the primary responsibility of this role, graphic design skills are highly desirable and will be required on a regular basis. Our clients are entertainers, comedians, podcasters, and content creators. In addition to editing content, you may be asked to create marketing assets that support ticket sales, audience growth, and content distribution. Examples include: • YouTube thumbnails optimized for click-through rate (CTR) • Cover images for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok videos • Tour artwork and show graphics • Social media flyers for Instagram Feed, Stories, Facebook, and other platforms • Podcast artwork and episode graphics • Promotional graphics for ticket on-sales, announcements, and special events • Email marketing graphics • Website banners and hero images • Sponsorship and partnership creative • Ad creatives for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google campaigns The ideal candidate understands that design is not simply about making something look good.
