About the Role
We are looking for a Social Media Content Creator to help create weekly video content for Zypher Media.
The main focus will be short-form videos, gameplay content, gaming nostalgia, skits, behind-the-scenes content, and personality-driven videos that help grow the Zypher brand.
This role will start at around 15–25 hours per week. Once we reach the point where streaming becomes part of the weekly content plan, hours and responsibilities may adjust.
The goal right now is not perfection. The goal is consistency, personality, creativity, and building a repeatable content system that improves every week.
Weekly Content Goals
The current weekly goals are:
10 Shorts created per week
7 Shorts posted per week
2 long-form gameplay videos recorded per week
We will create more Shorts than we post so we can build a backlog/content catalog over time. That way, if something unexpected comes up, schedules get busy, or someone needs time off, Zypher Media still has content ready to go.
Short-Form Content
Shorts will usually be between 10–60 seconds long.
For each Short, the full process may include:
- Brainstorming the idea
- Recording the clip
- Editing the clip
- Adding text or titles when needed
- Final review and export
The goal is for Shorts to be quick, fun, engaging, and not overcomplicated. We want someone who can help test ideas, learn what performs, and improve content over time.
Short-form content may include:
- Gaming nostalgia
- Funny skits
- Behind-the-scenes Zypher content
- Video game facts
- Retro gaming moments
- Product/inventory highlights
- Relatable gamer content
- YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels
Long-Form Gameplay Content
We will also record 2 long-form gameplay videos per week.
For the time being, most of the long-form videos will be gameplay recordings. Each gameplay recording will be around 60 minutes long.
The person playing will be recorded on camera, with audio commentary throughout the gameplay. The goal is for the content to feel natural, entertaining, and personality-driven.
Editing for gameplay videos should be simple. These are not meant to become massive editing projects. The main edits would include cutting out dull parts, long pauses, or moments where nothing interesting is happening.
Responsibilities
- Create and help plan weekly short-form video ideas
- Record short-form social media videos
- Edit Shorts for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook
- Help record long-form gameplay videos
- Assist with titles, captions, thumbnails, and descriptions
- Review content performance and help improve future videos
- Participate in brainstorming and weekly content planning
- Help keep content organized and scheduled
- Bring creative ideas to the table
- Be comfortable appearing on camera when needed
Schedule / Office Hours
Office and recording hours are Monday–Friday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
The goal is to have at least 2 in-office days per week, based on what works best within that office schedule.
On in-office days, we will try to get as much done as possible, including:
- Recording Shorts
- Recording gameplay videos
- Filming skits or behind-the-scenes content
- Brainstorming ideas
- Planning upcoming content
- Editing videos
- Reviewing finished content
- Working on titles, captions, thumbnails, and descriptions
- Looking over what is performing well and what needs to be adjusted
All work for this role will be done in-office.
