Job Summary

This role focuses on turning viral momentum into sustained multi-platform growth across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, with emphasis on brand identity for Anthony and Boredom Fighters. It covers content strategy, monetization, partnerships, and real-time audience engagement to convert momentum into lasting impact.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop a rapid-response content plan to maximize the current viral momentum (5M+ views and growing)
  • Identify the highest-impact next moves: follow-up content, collaborations, duets, response videos, and platform-specific reposts to sustain algorithmic reach
  • Optimize posting cadence, timing, and platform-specific formatting to keep the content surfacing across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and emerging platforms
  • Engage with the surge of new followers, commenters, and potential collaborators in real time to build community while attention is high
  • Develop a cohesive brand identity and voice for Anthony (Tarzanthony / Tony Love) and Bivon’s presence under the Boredom Fighters umbrella
  • Create a multi-platform channel strategy: define the role of each platform (TikTok for discovery, Instagram for community, YouTube for long-form and music, etc.) and tailor content accordingly
  • Build and manage a content calendar that balances viral/entertainment content with mission-driven storytelling about music education impact
  • Develop content pillars and recurring series that give audiences a reason to follow and stay engaged beyond the initial viral hit
  • Ensure brand consistency across all touchpoints—bios, links, visual identity, tone of voice, and cross-platform messaging
  • Develop and execute a monetization strategy that leverages the viral audience: merchandise, music releases, brand partnerships, sponsored content, platform creator funds, and donation funnels

Requirements

  • Proven track record of growing social media accounts, with specific experience capitalizing on viral content and sustaining momentum
  • Deep fluency in TikTok and Instagram algorithms, content formats, and best practices for short-form video
  • Experience developing multi-platform content and channel strategies (not just posting—strategic thinking about why each platform matters)
  • Strong understanding of social media monetization: creator funds, brand deals, merch integration, donation funnels, and audience-to-revenue conversion
  • Excellent writing and communication skills with the ability to adapt tone for different audiences and platforms
  • Proficiency with social media scheduling, analytics, and reporting tools
  • Ability to move fast—this role requires real-time responsiveness to trends and momentum
  • Self-motivated and organized, with the ability to work independently in a remote environment

Preferred

  • Experience in the music industry, artist management, or music marketing
  • Experience with non-profit organizations or mission-driven brands
  • Video editing and graphic design skills (CapCut, Canva, Premiere, or similar)
  • Experience managing influencer collaborations and brand partnerships
  • Familiarity with email marketing platforms and landing page builders
  • Passion for music education, youth development, or community impact work

The Boredomfighters Foundation believes that access to creating music can save lives. It can help people realize value in their life and feel motivated to bring something new to their community. Too many schools nationwide have cut music and arts budgets, and there are minimal programs in communities even 1-2 hours outside of major cities. Boredomfighters are setting out to send educators, instruments, and studio equipment out to these communities to build long term relationships and empower these people to create. No matter what age, everyone has art inside of them. ACTIVATIONSWe are going on a Music Empowerment Tour this Spring to 50 schools in rural communities across the US. We host a music summer camp in Colorado at Camp Shady Brook in July.
