Content Creator
About the role
We're Blue Bear, a Denver-based social media agency, and we're growing our Creator Pool. This is a network of freelance creators across the country who film short-form video for consumer brands you've seen in your fridge, your pantry, and your feed.
Responsibilities
- Act out short video concepts based on a basic outline: talking to camera, reacting to products, cooking, hanging out with your dog, the usual.
- No editing and no posting to your own accounts, so no follower count necessary.
Requirements
- Comfortable on camera: face shown, speaking naturally, improvising from an outline
- Self-record with a smartphone and a phone tripod (that's the whole equipment list; a clip-on mic and lighting are nice-to-haves)
- 18+ and live in the contiguous United States
- Communicate well and hit deadlines you've signed up for
Qualifications
- Cooking skills
- Camera-friendly pets
- A partner or friend willing to jump into two-person videos occasionally
- Background in or natural inclination toward acting, comedy, fitness, parenting content, or anything else that makes you the obvious pick for a specific video concept
Skills

Benefits
- $200 per video
- Up to $75 to cover out-of-pocket expenses when a shoot calls for them (recipe ingredients, a specific shirt, and so on)
- Quick-turn projects pay more
- You're paid per video as a 1099 contractor
- You decide how many projects to take
Pay
$200 per video, plus up to $75 to cover out-of-pocket expenses when a shoot calls for them (recipe ingredients, a specific shirt, and so on).
Schedule
Quick-turn projects pay more. You're paid per video as a 1099 contractor, and you decide how many projects to take. Some of our creators film once a month; some treat it like a steady side gig.
How to apply
The application includes a 60-second audition video, shot vertically on your phone. We provide a short outline, a quick script to read, and one improv prompt. It should take around ten minutes, and will be the single biggest factor we evaluate. If you're a fit, we'll send over the paperwork, get you setup in the creator portal, and have the welcome kit sent your way.
