Motion Graphics Designer/Video Editor

The Social Media Video Editor & Motion Designer is a highly creative and trend-savvy professional responsible for rapidly producing eye-catching, high-impact video content specifically optimized for social media advertising and organic short-form video platforms (Reels, TikTok, Shorts). This role is critical for driving engagement, awareness, and conversions within our digital campaigns.

Key Responsibilities

Short-Form Video Production & Editing

• Rapid Iteration: Edit and transform existing footage (e.g., product demos, user-generated content, shoots) into multiple compelling, short-form video ads and organic posts, often under 60 seconds.
• Platform Optimization: Ensure all content is optimized for specific platform requirements, including aspect ratios (9:16 vertical), safe zones, and file compression standards.
• Pacing & Hooks: Master the art of the 3-second hook and maintain a fast, dynamic pace essential for retaining short-form video audience attention.
• Sound Design: Effectively select and integrate trending, royalty-free audio tracks, popular sound effects, and voice-overs to enhance video appeal and align with platform trends.

Motion Graphics & Text Overlays

• On-Screen Text: Design and animate engaging, clear, and highly legible text overlays and subtitles (often essential for sound-off viewing) that reinforce key marketing messages.
• Brand Integration: Seamlessly integrate brand logos, calls-to-action (CTAs), and graphic elements using motion design principles.
• Dynamic Graphics: Create quick, punchy motion graphics (e.g., statistic call-outs, product feature animations) to elevate the visual quality of the short-form content.

Advertising & Campaign Support

• A/B Testing Assets: Prepare multiple versions of a single ad concept (e.g., variations in music, hook, CTA) to facilitate continuous A/B testing by the media buying team.
• Trend Analysis: Proactively monitor and apply emerging social media trends, formats, and editing styles (transitions, visual effects) to maintain cultural relevance.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the Marketing Team and Copywriters to translate campaign strategies and scripts into engaging visual stories.
