Description
Content Creator & Producer
Storytelling around musical gear -- its cultural impact, development, and creative potential -- is at the core what we do on the Guitar Center content team. From deep dives into the features of the latest production equipment to an artist's first impressions of their favorite new performance tools, the Content Producer will help establish new video and article concepts, as well as aid in existing ones, that that amplify Guitar Center's position in the music community.
As Content Producer, your creative skills will be used across mediums from eye-catching editorial videos to multimedia articles and interviews. You will steer the production of these pieces from concept to completion in a highly collaborative environment with members of our Video, Copywriting, Photography and Social teams. You have a deep understanding of what makes a great story, a strong visual & cinematic aesthetic, experience in a variety of professional production settings, a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to go from idea to execution, and most importantly, a deep knowledge and passion for music and the instruments and tools used to make and share it.
As Content Creator, your talents as a musician and ease in front of the camera, will be used to demonstrate musical gear and share informative, educational, and entertaining video content both in long and short form.
With a firm grasp of the products we sell, our customers, and the music community, you will strategically integrate gear, music, and talent together demonstrating effective storytelling, compelling showcase of our products, and clear communication of their techniques and musical applications to further our efforts in inspiring and engaging our customers, growing our community of musicians, and generating enthusiasm for the brand.
You will report directly to the Senior Manager of Content & Social Media and work in close collaboration with others in the Content, Production, Artist, and Social team.
