Digital Content Producer
London
BEANO WANTS YOU! YES, YOU AT THE BACK! THE ONE WITH THE FUNNY HAIR!
Role: Digital Content Producers (Freelancers - and lots of them!)
Reporting to: Editor, Beano.com
Beano Studios is looking for fresh freelance talent for beano.com, the home of everyday rebellion and unlimited imagination! Building on 80 years' worth of heritage thanks to Dennis, Minnie and pals, we are expanding out to cover the diverse digital world that 9-12 year old kids inhabit in 2017.
That's gaming, YouTubers, POP, massive TV shows, blockbuster films, football, gadgets, internet memes, school playground trends, fails and LOLz... and that's hopefully YOU!
We're after digital expertise, passion and massive lolz - and we need a crack team of awesome freelancers who can:
• Create video, quickly - from tiny viral clips, funny mash-ups to vox pops at events, you'll be self-sufficient and able to create killer video for our site. You'll be comfortable with a mic and a camera, happy to get in front of it as much as stay behind it. We'll need some post-production skills for edits and captions but we'll supply the templates and assets. Come be famous!
• Write funny, sharp listicles - you'll need the skills to bring your content to life of an audience with a limited attention span who need hooking in FAST - your titles and straps will scream CLICK ME, your SEO skills will be awesome and your words will be on point for a 9-12 year old. We need shareable, we need sharp and we need funny!
• Produce brilliant interactive formats - think Buzzfeed on Haribo! You'll be happy creating polls, quizzes and more using both our own in-house platform and Playbuzz. Quizzes need the same love as articles so bring your best research and GIFs as well as creativity.
• Deliver content like a machine! Our expectations are 4-5 pieces of content from you a day if booking you in the office. If out of the office, we'll break this down per article or task. Ours is a fast and pacey world - our content needs to reflect that.
• Understand and react to data - analytics, data and audience obsess us, and we want you to be obsessed too. You'll need to know the key words and phrases to target to reach the fanbases who don't know us (yet!), your content will be riddled with the metadata needed to get to the top of the search results.
And we need people who WANT to create jaw-dropping content for 9-12 years olds. Funny, up to the minute and always relevant, your words, pictures and videos will be the talk of the playgrounds and After School Clubs. If you still think that means fidget spinners and are sniffy about 'kids' stuff'... Get lost, grandad - this is a hack-free zone! We are positivity incarnate here at beano.com - we totally heart all the latest movies, TV and tunes. Yes, we take the mick massively and love the silly but you will be desperate to write about the biggest Nerf battles, YouTuber fails, Minecraft hacks, LEGO firewalks and FIFA glitches. Grizzled hacks who are sick of red carpets and junkets need not apply 'cos we love 'em!
