Social Media Marketer / Videographer — Chicago, IL

Company Description:

We sell and service Prestige, Pardo, Cranchi, Sirena and Barletta from Chicago (River East), Seneca, IL and Muskegon, MI (Adelaide Pointe), with sales coverage in Fish Creek, WI and Traverse City, MI.

The role:

This is a full-time, salaried position, based at our Chicago (River East) location and reporting to our marketing manager. You'll own our video and social media year-round. That means shooting, editing and posting the content that sells our boats and shows off life on the water.

What you'll do

• Plan, shoot and edit video for new arrivals, listings, walkthroughs, sea trials and customer deliveries

• Make short-form content for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, plus longer YouTube features

• Run our social accounts day to day: the content calendar, posting, captions, comments and DMs

• Cover Chicago-area events, and travel to other locations and Florida boat shows when needed

• Shoot aerial footage by drone, following FAA Part 107 rules

• Work with the marketing manager and sales team to plan content around inventory, promotions and the selling season

• Supply video and photo assets for our website, listings, email and paid ads

• Track performance every month and report what's working, what isn't and what you'd change
