About the Role

This role is for our partner agency Creative Milkshake - a creative agency with a studio based in Amsterdam, working with the world's coolest DTC brands. We create social thumb-stopping ads that are designed to convert - that's our jam.

You’ve got an eye for content, a brain for storytelling, and the hustle to bring big ideas to life. We’re looking for a Freelance Content Producer who lives and breathes short-form video for TikTok & Meta. We need someone who’s just as comfortable behind the camera as they are leading a shoot, directing a talent, or turning a shot list into a scroll-stopping ad.

If your phone’s camera roll is 90% behind-the-scenes, you thrive in fast-paced shoots, and you’ve got a sixth sense for what actually performs on TikTok and Instagram, this role is for you.
