Technical Expertise & Innovation

• Stay ahead of emerging trends in video editing, motion graphics and platform algorithms.
• Experiment with new tools, AI-driven editing techniques and immersive formats to push creative boundaries.
• Ensure all content is optimized for various platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, CRM and digital ads.

The successful candidate will have:
