“The zooeys” seek a social content producer
$30/HR
10 HRS/WK
connections into the music industry via our agency in nashville
QUESTIONS:
1. WHAT IS THIS JOB?
ANSWER: We basically want someone to come up with cool ideas, shoot and edit content, and post for us on IG, TikTok, and YouTube, and be a good hang.
We’re not really concerned about trying to go viral or whatever, we jsut want to consistently make cool and good stuff that represents us well, helps us build slow and steady engagement, and is not AI slop.
2. WHO ARE THE ZOOEYS?
ANSWER: Lincoln, Nebraska-based Indie/Alternative rock band.
We are focusing increasingly on touring and trying to reach greater heights witht he music we record and produce, and we are also starting to generate some income, so it makes sense to invest that into someone who is better than us at social media.
Here’s our branding doc that our agency put together a few months ago: https://deck.industryplantmusic.com/the-zooeys-brand-guidelines
3. WHAT DOES THIS JOB ENTAIL?
You’ll have ownership over the content creation pipeline. You’ll bring the ideas, we’ll shoot content in bunches together and some content by ourselves at your direction, and then you’ll edit them and post them.
We’re thinking you’ll create about 12 cool posts a month (3 a week) and keep stories fairly active.
You don’t need to personally shoot every single piece of content that we make - you can give us assignments or whatever and we can shoot some of the lower-lift stuff ourselves.
We’ll have a 30-minute-ish weekly meeting, a content shoot about every other week, a call with our agency in nashville every other week, and have you come through rehearsal about every other week as well.
keep track of the stuff you make and keep it organized somewhere.
4. what does a normal week look like?
You’ll meet with the band for a couple of hours (either rehearsal or a shoot)
We’ll have a 30 minute meeting about upcoming posts coming up
You’ll hop on the agency call for an hour if it is that week
You’ll spend the remaining 6-7 hours of the week editing, posting, and working on new ideas
5. what’s the compensation and logistics of this job?
$30/hr, 10 hours a week. you’re paid for all the meetings and stuff obviously.
It’s based in Lincoln. It would be hard to do if you’re not in lincoln but we’ll hear you out.
We are kinda figuring this out on the fly so we’re thinking a 90-day trial period while we make sure that this system that works in our heads works in real life. But the full intention is for this to be a long-term thing.
Not sure yet if it’ll be a 1099 kinda thing or a W-2 kinda thing, we can talk about it.
6. who is the ideal candidate?
Besides being a cool and good person, the most important qualities are having good taste and lots of initiative. We’re not super worried about technical knowledge, but if you’ve got a lot of it, it doesn’t hurt!
You don’t need to have been a social media manager before as long as you are excited to figure out what works. We are really excited about the stuff we’re working on and we basically just need someone to match that energy.
