About the role

As a Contract Content Creator at 321, you will serve as an on-demand visual storyteller, capturing and creating authentic social media content for our diverse portfolio of client accounts.
You'll work remotely with flexibility to travel to client locations throughout Illinois and occasionally neighboring regions for on-site content capture sessions.
Your role combines hands-on production skills with platform expertise-shooting compelling photos and videos, then editing and optimizing content for social media platforms using accessible, AI-enhanced tools.

Create content in multiple formats and aspect ratios (9:16 for Stories/Reels, 1:1 for feed posts, 16:9 for YouTube) from single capture sessions.
Organize and deliver edited content with clear file naming conventions and platform-specific specifications.
Optimize content for maximum organic reach including strategic use of hooks, captions, hashtags, and engagement drivers.
Create native platform content that feels authentic to each channel rather than repurposed across all platforms.

You'll bring expertise in mobile and professional content capture alongside proven ability to quickly understand brand voices and translate business objectives into scroll-stopping visual content.

Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or professional editing software for complex projects.
Drone operation experience and FAA Part 107 certification for aerial content capture.
Photography skills for capturing still images alongside video content.
Continuous learner who stays current on social media trends, content formats, editing techniques, and AI tools.

This is a contract position with project-based compensation.
Remote work with required travel to client locations throughout Southern California, and contractor must be based in Chicago, Indianapolis, St.
Louis, or within Illinois area.

Adapt shooting approach based on industry context-from roofing job sites and medical facilities to real estate and legal offices.
Flexible scheduling with shoots coordinated based on client needs and content creator availability.

Direct on-camera talent including business owners, employees, customers, and team members to create authentic, engaging content.
