This role is based on the creative floor in Amsterdam. Our team is a vibrant mix of talents, ranging from Brand Strategists, Creatives, and Influencer Marketers to Account managers, Producers, and Video editors. As a creative digital marketing agency, we mix old-fashioned creative storytelling with the best of what today’s technology has to offer to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like Bol and Grolsch to name a few.
JOB PURPOSE
This role is part of our social creative team. We deliver quality content across all social channels that is platform-first, engaging and always on trend. The team is small but growing and incredibly versatile & talented. The Social Creatives are responsible for ideating, creating and posting the most engaging and on trend social content for a range of well known clients for the Dutch market. Have you ever come across a crazy edit for bol or a street interview for Grolsch? That’s a very good overview of what your activities will look like!
This job is all about editing - but as it’s social - there’s more to it than just making the edits. With your knowledge of social trends, humour and storytelling you’ll be able to really add your own flavour to the work you’re making.
Editing videos will be your main focus, but there’s always room to come up with ideas and film content yourself; (you might even star in one of them!)
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Edit short-form video for our social clients
- Attend social-first shoots and have an active role in it; think of filming, helping with setting up lighting and audio
- Create all content to a brand’s TOV
- Understand the target audience’s needs
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
First and foremost, we are looking for someone who is completely immersed in social media; you consume social content like salty peanuts at your local pub. You're up to date with the latest TikTok trends, and just like us, you can't get that one viral sound out of your head.
Secondly; you have a passion for video, and Premiere Pro holds no secrets for you; Ripple delete? Of course! Normalizing audio peaks to -1 dB? Let's do it!
You're a video editor at heart, but you secretly enjoy thinking conceptually and creatively about video content as well! Especially with social content, the edit often plays a crucial role in the overall humor and vibe of the video, so you have a significant impact there.
Additionally:
- You are fluent in Dutch and Dutch culture
- Have strong editing skills in Adobe Premiere
- Basic animation skills in Adobe After Effects
- Experience in shooting videos (on iPhone)
- Basic knowledge on lighting and audio
- Experience in social-first ideas, concepting and production
- Experience in using cultural trends and insights to create compelling social-first content
- Ability to react quickly within a fast-paced environment
- A love for learning new things
- High attention to detail
- Smooth collaboration
WE OFFER
- A flexible, hybrid working policy (2-3 days from the office, depending on location) and the opportunity to work from abroad for 13 weeks a year.
- 24 vacation days per year and the possibility to buy an unlimited number of extra vacation days.
- DEPT®/YOU Learning Menu and DEPT®/YOU Special Programs. Develop your skills with courses and programs tailored to your needs.
- Stay happy and healthy with a contribution to your health through the OpenUp platform, gym and wellness discounts, and healthy lunches at the office.
- Get a discount on your lease bike and ride in style. You can also enjoy hassle free-commutes with an NS Business Card.
- A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021, has been named a Great Place To Work since 2022 in the Netherlands and named ‘Agency of the Year’ at both The Lovies and The Webby Awards.
- Awesome clients. Whether big, small, local or global — at DEPT® you’ll get the opportunity to work with all of them. And we celebrate all of our successes together!
- You can discover even more employee benefits here.
