SENIOR CONTENT CREATOR - AGILE CREATIVE CONTENT ENGAGEMENT TEAM

We're a fast-moving, idea-sparking, deadline-crushing content team embedded inside one of the most dynamic media companies in the country. As part of the Agile Creative Content Engagement Team (ACCET), you'll lead the creation of branded, promotional, and social-first content that connects brands to audiences in meaningful ways.

This role goes beyond production - it's about owning creative execution for clients while serving as the local ACCET content lead for the station. You'll work directly with internal stakeholders and external clients to concept, produce, and deliver high-impact creative that runs across broadcast, digital, and social platforms.

Our mission? Bring bold ideas to life across every screen. Whether you're producing branded campaigns for advertisers, promotional creative for station initiatives, or community-focused storytelling, your work won't just fill airtime - it will represent ACCET at the market level and drive real results for clients.

As a Senior Content Creator, you'll be the primary videographer for all kinds of marketing projects, including promos, commercials, and lifestyle segments. You'll edit content that stops thumbs, turns heads, and moves audiences to action. You'll serve as a creative partner to internal and external clients, translating their goals into compelling visual stories while acting as an ACCET representative at the station.

You'll collaborate with sales teams, marketers, and clients to deliver strategic storytelling that balances emotion, brand objectives, and performance - all while maintaining ACCET creative standards.

• Create high-quality, scroll-stopping content for client campaigns across TV, social, web, and streaming platforms

• Lead creative execution for branded content, commercials, promotional spots, and social-first video
