Youtube Content Creator / Videographer – Polo Reef

YouTube Content creator / Videographer – Polo Reef

We are looking for a creative, upbeat and talented individual to digitally dive into the mesmerizing world of Reef Aquariums with Polo Reef. The company’s goal is to investigate mechanisms and develop best practices for coral reef and rare fish preservation and re-generation. The company founder, Mr. Andrew Sandler, is a philanthropist with a desire to give back in a meaningful way and re-invest Polo Reef company profits in research and education endeavors focused on advancing knowledge with respect to coral reef and rare fish preservation. The famous aquarium itself is 17,000 gallons which is one of the largest privately owned aquarium in the world, and it contains some of the rarest fish and corals from around the globe. As such, it is like having a living breathing coral reef in his house that can be viewed from three sides and is comparable to being able to dive on one of the most beautiful reefs in the world without getting wet. And just as interesting is the equipment and staff necessary to run it that all operate behind the scenes. After our successful first video season of a series called “Diary of Mad Reef Keeper” we are slating to continue to produce additional video series and video content.
