AddressMorning Brew is a media company that covers the business news and narratives shaping our world. The companies, the people, the workplace, the economy — we nerd out on this stuff, and we’re dedicated to helping our audience navigate it all in a way that informs and entertains.
The Morning Brew team is clever, creative, and growing fast. Want in? Read on.
We’re looking for a great writer and visual storyteller to join our social media team and create video content for our social platforms.
Business and finance news isn’t the most exciting thing, we get that. That’s where you come in. Your job is to peak the interest of our audience on things like the FTC suing to block the JetBlue-Spirit merger through video.
You need to be in the know (or be willing to be in the know) about everything that goes on in the world of business news.
The next step is to take all that boring information and turn it into an engaging piece of video content. Straight to camera reporting is good, but you know what’s even better, a sketch explainer breaking down the Silicon Valley Bank crash. Basically, concepts and visuals are just as important as the story and writing itself.
If that sounds like you, then keep on reading.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON
- Pitch stories and concepts surrounding the world of business and finance.
- Research and write scripts for Social Videos
- Shoot content (we’ll give you all the tools you need)
- Edit and produce the final product
- Assist with other Social Video productions
QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience in creating video content for social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X, and others)
- Ability to write scripts in the Morning Brew style (engaging, informative, clever)
- Experience using the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, not After Effects BUT it would be a nice have)
- Self-starter attitude (can create a video from start-to-finish), with the ability to operate in a collaborative environment.
- Ability to operate in a high-pressure and fast paced environment (news moves quick!)
- Located in NYC
COMPENSATION $65,000 - $70,000 - Final offers for this job will be made within the parameters of the salary range provided, commensurate with experience. Total offer package to include benefits highlighted under our perks section below.
WHAT ELSE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Character and integrity rank pretty high on the list. Our team is guided by our core values:
HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER
- Respectful Candor: We believe that engaging in timely, constructive, and open discourse is an act of respect that makes for a more transparent and productive work environment.
- Empathy: We establish a strong partnership of trust with our co-workers and partners. We build human connections in order to understand each other.
- Inclusivity: We strive to celebrate and welcome people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Differing perspectives help us make better decisions and have more fulfilling experiences.
HOW WE TREAT OUR WORK
- Curiosity: We learn every day through deliberate inquiry and exploration. We re-examine assumptions to be a better company, offer better products, and become better colleagues.
- Accountability: We celebrate our successes and own our failures. Taking responsibility for our actions allows us to learn from our experiences.
- Bias Toward Action: We know speed matters in business so we embrace quick and calculated risk-taking. We understand that many actions are reversible and therefore we are solutions-oriented, even when facing obstacles and challenges.
- Challenger Mentality: We don’t allow ourselves to be comfortable with our success. We are hungry to become the best and create more value for our audience.
- Clarity of Purpose: We understand the “why" in our work, which helps us to operate at our highest level of performance and efficiency.
