Role Overview
As Content Creator, you'll lead the hands-on capture and production of visual content for Mademoiselle Macaron — bringing campaigns, product launches, and key brand moments to life through photography and short-form video. You'll work from briefs set by the Senior Marketing Executive, contributing your own creative ideas within that direction, and focus purely on producing content that's authentically on-brand.
This is a production and ideation role, not a planning one — you won't own the content calendar or campaign strategy. Your focus is capturing great content and bringing fresh creative ideas to how campaigns are visually told.
Key Responsibilities
1. Content Creation & Capture
• Shoot and edit photography and short-form video (Reels, TikTok, Instagram) for products, events, weddings, and seasonal campaigns
• Organise and lead shoots and filming sessions to generate authentic, brand-aligned content — in the studio/kitchen and on location
• Edit, resize, and format visual assets for use across organic and, where needed, paid social
• Build finished graphics from captured content (carousels, text overlays, cover images) in Canva, using MM's brand templates
• Maintain alignment with brand guidelines and tone across all visual output
2. Creative Ideas & Campaign Alignment
• Bring content ideas and creative concepts that support each campaign, launch, or seasonal moment, working within briefs set by the Senior Marketing Executive
• Suggest formats, angles, and storytelling approaches suited to what's currently working (e.g. founder-led, personal-story content, carousel formats)
• Flag trend or format opportunities relevant to upcoming campaigns, without owning ongoing trend research
Skills & Experience
• A strong portfolio of food, product, lifestyle, or event content — Instagram/TikTok examples preferred over polished agency reels
• Confident shooting and editing both photography and short-form video (phone-shot content is fine if the quality and eye are there)
• Comfortable turning a brief into a finished asset independently, without heavy direction
• Proficient in Canva and/or Adobe tools (Photoshop, Premiere Pro) or equivalent
• Some flexibility for event-based shoots outside standard hours (weddings, seasonal launches), agreed in advance
• Based in or able to regularly travel to Edinburgh
• A genuine feel for warm, personal, "accessible luxury" brand tone
Success Measures
This role is measured on output and reliability, not on social performance metrics (engagement, reach, follower growth) — those sit with the Senior Marketing Executive, who controls captioning, timing, and paid support.
• Volume: an agreed number of finished stills/Reels/TikToks delivered per week, calibrated to the 2-day week
• Turnaround time: brief to finished asset within an agreed window
• Usability rate: content usable as delivered, without major rework
• Brief adherence: on-brand within the first or second pass
Brand Notes
Playfully sophisticated, accessible luxury, your moment our priority. Never "macaroons". French flourishes used sparingly. Minimal exclamation marks.
