Local Content Creator

Local Content Creator (& Multimedia Journalist)

We’re looking for confident, self-sufficient storytellers, reporters, journalists, creators, and media personalities who can help us create fast-moving local content every day.

Whether you come from broadcast television, digital media, journalism, TikTok, YouTube, or UGC-style content creation, we want people who know how to capture attention, tell real stories, and create engaging content quickly.

This is not a traditional influencer role.
We’re building a network of modern local media personalities who can operate like a one-person digital newsroom, shooting, reporting, editing, and publishing content directly from the field.

The Role

• Serve as an on-camera personality and local market storyteller.
• Create fast, social-first content around storms, outages, weather, homeowner experiences, local events, and community stories.
• Operate as your own one-person production crew using an iPhone, tripod, microphone, drone, or lightweight production setup.
• Capture, edit, and deliver content quickly for social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
• Create content that feels authentic, conversational, engaging, and native to social media.
• Deliver both short-form UGC-style videos and local news-style reporting packages.

What You’ll Create

• POV-style TikToks and Reels
• Storm preparedness content
• Local weather reaction videos
• Funny or relatable blackout moments
• Homeowner interviews and experiences
• Community-based field reporting
• Day-in-the-life content
• On-camera explainer videos
• Short-form local news packages
• Seasonal and promotional content

The Style

• Not corporate
• Not overly scripted
• Not polished TV commercials
• Fast
• Authentic
• Relatable
• Story-driven
• Social-first

What We’re Looking For

• Comfortable speaking directly to camera
• Strong communication and storytelling skills
• Able to work quickly and independently in the field
• Comfortable interviewing people
• Can shoot and edit content independently
• Understand TikTok/Reels/social media culture
• Can create attention-grabbing hooks quickly
• Comfortable working in fast-moving environments
• Dependable transportation and local market familiarity

Bonus If You Have

• Broadcast journalism experience
• Previous TV/media experience
• A strong TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube presence
• UGC/content creator experience
• Drone experience
• Short-form editing skills
• Experience creating social-first storytelling content

Important

• This is a fast-moving content environment.
• Storm hits? Big local story? Promotion launches?
• We may need content SAME DAY.
• Speed matters. Authenticity matters. Storytelling matters.
• We’re building a reliable roster of local creators and multimedia journalists we can activate quickly when opportunities happen.
