Job Description
About Us
At Neon Lion, we believe every brand has a story worth telling — not just what they do, but why. We partner with builders, designers, trades, and service-based businesses to bring their story to life through thoughtful, strategic, and scroll-stopping digital content.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Digital Storyteller - a creative content creator who can take raw client-provided photos, videos, and information and turn it into compelling, narrative-driven digital media that elevates their brand.
This role is perfect for someone who loves understanding a brand deeply, shaping stories from behind the scenes, and bringing clarity, strategy, and creativity to each client’s online presence
What You’ll Do
- Immerse yourself in each client’s brand, mission, audience, and visual voice to understand their story at a core level.
- Use client-provided photos, videos, and project updates to create polished, strategic social media content.
- Edit and repurpose client content into Reels, TikToks, short-form videos, graphics, and carousel posts for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and more.
- Write engaging captions, scripts, and storytelling copy that perfectly matches each brand’s voice.
- Build and manage social media content calendars for clients, ensuring consistent, story-aligned posting.
- Develop content themes, series, and narrative angles that highlight the “why” behind their business.
- Stay up to date on digital trends, hooks, and platform best practices to keep content modern and high-performing.
- Collaborate with the Neon Lion leadership team on creative direction and client strategy.
- Present ideas, directions, and drafts confidently to the team and clients.
What You Bring
- A natural gift for storytelling - visually and verbally.
- Proven experience creating social content from existing assets (photos + videos).
- Strong video editing and design skills (Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut, Lightroom, Canva, Descript, etc.).
- Clear understanding of current social trends, hooks, formats, and what converts.
- Ability to absorb a brand’s voice and translate it into consistent, compelling content.
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple client calendars.
- Creative, curious, and detail-oriented with a passion for digital media.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience working with construction, design, or service-based businesses.
- Background in journalism, marketing, branding, or communications.
- Ability to storyboard or plan content series.
- Light motion graphics experience.
Why You’ll Love Working With Neon Lion
- You get to help inspiring clients share the heart behind their business.
- No two brands are the same - every story is different.
- Tons of creative freedom with support from a fun, collaborative team.
- Room to grow into a full-time, in-office role as the department expands.
Neon Lion is a full-service creative collective specializing in digital creative, community building, brand strategy, and analysis.
