Content Creator

Role overview

MKG is seeking a Content Creator who can turn live brand moments into engaging digital stories that continue to resonate after an event ends. The role focuses on creating video and social content for both the agency and its clients, with an emphasis on fast-moving experiential work.

About MKG

Established in 2003, MKG is a women-led creative agency focused on brand experience. The team connects brands with their audiences through storytelling, purpose-led engagement, thoughtful design, and high-quality production. MKG works with well-known brands across industries and operates from offices in New York and Los Angeles, while collaborating with teams beyond those locations as well.

Working environment

The agency values the full experience, not just the finished output. Team members are expected to care about details, collaborate closely, and contribute in a culture that is both creative and supportive. Candidates must be based within commuting distance of either the New York or Los Angeles office and should be available for in-person collaboration on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This role is open to candidates located in Los Angeles and New York City.

What the role involves

This position is for a hands-on creator who can direct, shoot, and edit. You’ll be expected to capture cinematic moments at large activations as well as work quickly in scrappier settings. Most output will be short-form video for TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, though the role also includes case study videos and award submissions. You’ll work independently at times and also partner with Creative, Account, Production, and Marketing teams to shape the story and strengthen the content strategy.

Key focus areas

The work spans brand storytelling, client deliverables, and live content production. You’ll create material that supports MKG’s brand presence, produce assets for clients, and translate real-world experiences into content built for digital channels. The job also includes developing repeatable workflows so experiential programs consistently generate strong content.

Production expectations

You will direct and capture video on-site at events, operate cameras and lighting/audio gear in fast-paced environments, and edit short-form pieces using mobile-friendly tools and professional editing software. The role calls for content that is polished but still timely, with strong narrative flow, pacing, and hooks.

Experience and skills needed

A minimum of 3 years of experience creating video content is expected, especially in directing, shooting, and editing. You should understand how short-form content performs across major social platforms, know how to spot and capture moments quickly in live settings, and be comfortable using event-production equipment. A strong portfolio showing both cinematic work and quick-turn social content is required, along with confidence working with clients and creative partners.

Working style

MKG is looking for someone who naturally thinks like a creator, takes initiative, contributes ideas, and balances creativity with disciplined execution. Curiosity about culture, platforms, and new tools is important, as is a detail-oriented mindset.

Tools and platforms

Working knowledge of TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube is needed. Familiarity with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, CapCut, or similar editing tools is expected, along with comfort in Mac-based production environments and Google Workspace.

Additional requirements

Because the work is experiential in nature, occasional travel may be required. The schedule may also include evenings and weekends when business needs call for it.

Why MKG

MKG describes itself as a people-first agency that values bold ideas, energetic collaboration, and strong creative output. The role is intended for someone who wants to shape a brand, make an impact, and enjoy the process of building great work with a great team.

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $75,000 to $95,000 per year.
