Freelance Social-First Content Creator & Producer
We’re looking for a freelance Social-First Content Creator & Producer to take genuine ownership of content production across our growing client portfolio.
This isn’t a role for someone who only turns up to film.
We need someone who can take a client brief or strategy and lead the entire creative process—from researching and developing ideas to planning the shoot, directing clients, capturing the content and overseeing the final delivery.
You’ll understand what makes content work across TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn, and be able to turn strategic objectives into strong, platform-native ideas that are realistic to produce.
Initially, this will be a freelance role with regular project work. There is potential for it to develop into a part-time or full-time position as the agency grows.
What You’ll Own
- Researching brands, audiences, competitors and relevant social trends
- Developing original, platform-specific content concepts
- Turning strategies and campaign briefs into practical content plans
- Creating scripts, hooks, shot lists and detailed production plans
- Planning and coordinating content shoot days from start to finish
- Organising locations, talent, props, equipment and shoot schedules
- Capturing high-quality, social-first content, primarily using an iPhone
- Directing founders, clients, creators and talent confidently on camera
- Adapting ideas during shoots and spotting additional content opportunities
- Editing short-form videos where required
- Briefing editors and giving clear, constructive feedback
- Managing content through internal review, client feedback and final delivery
- Ensuring projects remain organised, on brief and on schedule
- Contributing ideas across multiple client accounts and sectors
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll be responsible for making sure the content doesn’t just get filmed, it gets properly thought through, created and delivered.
We’re Looking for Someone Who
- Has strong experience creating short-form, social-first video content
- Understands what performs across TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn
- Can generate strong ideas without needing to be handed a finished concept
- Understands hooks, pacing, storytelling, retention and platform-native editing
- Can confidently own a project from the initial idea through to delivery
- Is comfortable directing people who may not be confident on camera
- Can balance creativity with organisation and commercial objectives
- Is proactive, resourceful and able to solve problems independently
- Is highly organised and reliable when managing deadlines and multiple projects
- Communicates confidently and professionally with clients
- Is happy to be hands-on across both creative and production tasks
- Holds a full UK driving licence and can travel to client locations
We need someone who takes initiative, brings ideas to the table and can be trusted to move projects forward - not someone who waits for every detail to be briefed.
Working Arrangement
- Freelance contract with regular project work
- Remote-based planning and project management
- Travel to content shoots at client locations across the UK
- Shoots will often take place around London, Berkshire and surrounding areas, with occasional travel further afield
- Potential to develop into a part-time or full-time role as the agency expands

About Fern
Fern is a small but ambitious social and content agency specialising in making traditionally “uncool” brands interesting on social.
We believe the strongest content comes from combining strategy, creativity and excellent execution. We don’t create content simply to fill calendars - we develop ideas with a clear purpose and produce them specifically for the platforms where they’ll appear.
If you love social media, naturally spot content opportunities and want to own the creative process rather than only one part of it, we’d love to hear from you.

Please include examples of:
- Content you have personally ideated, planned, filmed and/or edited
- Social media accounts or campaigns you’ve worked on
- Your exact role in the creative and production process
- Shoot days or client projects you have managed
- Scripts, concepts, shot lists or production plans you’ve developed
- Your availability and typical day or project rate
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
