Content Creator & Social Media Growth Lead

Elevate Entertainment | Kansas City (Must Live in KC Metro Area / Event-Based)

About Elevate

Elevate Entertainment is not a typical DJ company.

We create high-energy, experience-driven events where the dance floor stays full, the crowd is fully engaged, and the night feels unforgettable.

Our clients don’t just want music—they want a packed room, real energy, and a night people talk about after it’s over.

We’re growing, and our marketing is evolving to match the level of experience we deliver.

The Role

We’re hiring a Content Manager / Social Media Lead to take full ownership of our content and social presence.

This is not a “posting” role.

You will be responsible for turning real events into high-impact content that:

• Elevates our brand
• Attracts the right clients
• Drives demand before the first sales conversation

You will sit at the intersection of content, brand, and revenue.

What You’ll Do: Own the Content Strategy

• Plan and execute a monthly content calendar
• Align content with booking cycles, event seasonality, and marketing goals
• Build content pillars focused on:
• Event energy and crowd reactions
• DJ talent and personality
• Real, emotional moments
• Client experience and social proof

Create High-Impact Content

• Capture and/or direct capture of live event footage
• Produce:
• Instagram Reels (primary focus)
• Short-form video content (TikTok/IG)
• Stories and recap content
• Turn one event into multiple pieces of content
• Write captions that reinforce value and experience, not just services

Tell the Right Story

• Shift content from:
• “Here’s what we did” → to
• “Here’s how it felt to be there”
• Highlight:
• Energy shifts
• Crowd reactions
• Key moments that define the night

Showcase Our DJs as Talent

• Make DJs a central part of the brand
• Highlight personality, style, and ability to control a room
• Position them as experience creators, not interchangeable vendors

Build a Content System

• Create a repeatable process for capturing content at every event
• Work with DJs and team members to ensure consistent footage
• Maintain a steady pipeline of usable, high-quality content

Drive Better Leads (This Matters)

• Use content to:
• Attract experience-driven clients
• Filter out low-intent, price-focused inquiries
• Align with sales to understand:
• What content drives quality leads
• What doesn’t

Track and Improve Performance

• Monitor:
• Engagement (especially saves and shares)
• Video performance (watch time, completion rate)
• Audience growth
• Content-driven inquiries
• Continuously improve based on what’s actually working

What Success Looks Like

• Our content feels premium, high-energy, and differentiated
• We attract better clients—not just more clients
• Leads are more aligned before the first call
• Our brand stands out immediately in a crowded market
• Content consistently performs and improves over time

What We’re Looking For

You’re a strong fit if you:

• Have experience creating high-performing short-form video (Reels/TikTok)
• Understand what makes content:
• Engaging
• Emotional
• Shareable
• Can shoot and/or direct content in live environments
• Are skilled in:
• Video editing
• Storytelling
• Pacing and timing
• Think beyond posting—you think in terms of:
• Brand
• Audience
• Conversion

Schedule / Availability

This role is tied to live events.

Weekend availability is required - IN KANSAS CITY METRO

Especially:

• Saturday nights (regularly required)

Bonus Points

• Experience in weddings, events, nightlife, or entertainment
• Experience working with premium or experience-based brands
• Ability to identify “the moment” in a room and capture it

What This Role Is Not

• Not just scheduling posts
• Not purely aesthetic-driven
• Not a passive, wait-for-direction role

Why This Role Matters

This role directly impacts:

• The quality of clients we attract
• How our brand is perceived
• How quickly prospects convert

Done right, your work will:

• Increase bookings
• Improve conversion rates
• Strengthen pricing power
