Big Spaceship is seeking a Freelance Content Creator to serve as a creative powerhouse for a CPG Sports brand. You can do it all: concept, shoot, edit, design, produce, and post. You’re fluent in social channels, live on and for the Internet, and you LOVE to MAKE.

Our client is a new energy drink. Created specifically for athletes, the product helps fuel you up before the gym, a game, or anything else you need to dominate. The product launched earlier this year, so our content is all about driving awareness and excitement. While we’re made by a big player in the sports drink world, this is ENERGY – we’re not afraid to have fun on social, exploring humor, trends, and other insights around athletes.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Work collaboratively with the Creative team to brainstorm inventive content ideas and topics that drive engagement. Each week you’ll be responsible for coming to the brainstorm with ideas for videos, and then executing those concepts – some might be your idea, our creative team might provide some.
