Location: Torrance, Los Angeles - Department: Marketing
Part-time / 1099 unless paired with other skill-set / position
Interested? Let us explain.
We are a company that is never interested in doing things everybody else can do and does. There's no real point and it's no fun for us. Right now, we're focusing on viral marketing because it's fun, effective, fresh and can be absolutely creative as well as be an incredible value to our clients. Are you interested? Want to try?
We are currently looking for someone to join / head up our viral marketing department who wants a real chance to do exactly what they want to do online for our clients. We don't mean a person who has made videos and uploaded them to Youtube and gotten no views and left it at that or a person who will studiously submit spammy links of stuff we've done to Reddit, we mean a full package real deal amazingly creative but needs work / clients for whom to do that work person. We need a person who wants the platform on which to perform and the audience for which to perform but who is ready for their performance.
We don't give you the script, just the stage and stagehands to an extent; it's your show, and you'll also need to care about bringing in an audience.
Who you are:
1. A person with skills than lend themselves to being a viral marketer but that also make a company like ours hire them: HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Visual Editing, filming, comedy writing or any other professional skill that earns a living in our industry
2. A funny person. Clever works too. A meme lover perhaps.
3. The person who wants this job the most.
How to apply:This is both easy and amazingly hard.
1. We need your resume as text in the body of an email or as a link online; no attachment files will be accepted. Please put "[ACE] VIRAL-CONTENTS-CREATOR-(last name)" in the subject line of your email to us.
2. Next, wow us with your talent / humor / viral potential. In other words, show us anything at all that says "Hi, I'm interested in creating content that gets seen, and this is what I've done" instead of coming in and saying "I've done nothing on my own to figure out if I'm really interested in it, but if you give me money, I'll sit here 8 hours a day and see if I actually enjoy it or not"
---Will you make a Facebook page that gets 10,000 "likes" telling us to hire you?
---Will you make an application video that gets 100,000 views on Youtube?
---We guess you could do something twitter (but we might not notice it), or imgur, or Reddit or really just about anything as long as you make us notice you in a good way and it's interesting or fun / funny for everyone involved.
---If you're strapped for ideas you could come up with a viral idea for one of our in-house shops and testing grounds such as the not-naturally viral: www.massager-machines-and-more.com
---Or if you're into really low hanging fruit you could do something for the naturally viral www.artisansocks.com that had an image catch fire online thanks to bloggers, a great in-house photographer and a pretty girl's legs. (2011's viral shark socks)
Here's the thing though, while some of our clients' products will be fun or funny like the socks, for the most part they aren't and you're going to need to be comfortable coming up with original fun ideas to market some fairly serious products. You'll be valued as a partner, get the fame you deserve personally rather than having others take credit for it and make your share of the profits. That's the job, if you really want it, it's yours.
Who will hate this job?
1. People who hate / aren't interested in the internet, humor, and how information is spread on the internet.
2. People who think work should be like school except that you now get paid to learn.
3. People who like a job because it's easy and they can coast.
4. People more interested in being a tiny part of a adequately done big thing rather than being a huge part of a new thing. (How many campaigns for big companies do you see online that DON'T make you cringe? That Whole Foods viral rap and the Sears zombie thing maybe, but not many more..)
5. People who think there is / people who are more comfortable with one "right" answer to a great yawning abyss of potential.
6. People who don't want a huge amount of responsibility for the success of the end-product.
