ASCENT DIGITAL AGENCY

About the Role

Ascent Digital Agency is looking for a Social Content Videographer who lives and breathes short-form video. Not a filmmaker. Not a wedding shooter. A scroll-stopper, someone who instinctively knows how to hook a viewer in the first two seconds, tell a story in fifteen, and make a home service business look like a brand worth following.

You'll be embedded with our creative team in Durango, shooting and editing vertical Reels for clients on video retainers — content that runs both as organic social and paid ads on Meta. This is a high-output, high-impact role. If your camera roll is full of ideas and your edit timeline is where you feel most alive, keep reading.

What You'll Do

Shoot & Direct

• Plan, shoot, and direct short-form vertical video content for multiple client accounts
• Capture compelling footage on client job sites, in the field, and in-studio as needed
• Concept and execute Reels with a strong hook, clear narrative, and a call-to-action built for conversion
• Direct clients and their teams on camera — putting people at ease and pulling out authentic moments

Edit & Deliver

• Edit short-form video content optimized for vertical (9:16) format across Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and Meta paid placements
• Apply motion graphics, text overlays, captions, transitions, and sound design that match platform-native aesthetics
• Manage your own edit pipeline — organized, versioned, and delivered on time
• Leverage AI-powered editing tools to accelerate production without sacrificing quality

Think Like a Strategist

• Understand the difference between organic content and paid ad creative — and tailor your approach accordingly
• Stay ahead of short-form video trends, formats, and platform algorithm changes
• Bring creative concepts to the table — not just execution, but ideas that move the needle for client campaigns
• Collaborate with the Content Coordinator and Client Success team to align video content with broader account strategies

What We're Looking For

• A portfolio that proves it — Reels, short-form vertical video, and social-native content that performs (not just looks good)
• Strong shooting skills with a camera (DSLR/mirrorless) and/or iPhone-level mobile production
• Proficiency in video editing software — CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or equivalent
• A genuine understanding of what makes short-form content work for businesses — hooks, pacing, storytelling, CTA
• Comfort working across multiple client accounts and industries simultaneously
• Self-directed and organized — you manage your own shoot schedule and edit queue without hand-holding
• Strong communicator who can collaborate with a creative team and take (and give) clear feedback
• High energy, low ego — you work hard, have fun, and make everyone around you better

Nice to Have

• Experience creating paid ad creative for Meta (Facebook/Instagram) with an understanding of performance metrics
• Background in marketing, media production, or a creative agency environment
• Experience with motion graphics or basic animation (After Effects, CapCut templates, etc.)
• Familiarity with home service businesses — lawn care, pest control, construction, and the trades
• Experience with AI video tools (Runway, CapCut AI, or similar) as part of a production workflow

Compensation

$50,000 – $60,000 annually, depending on experience
