Storytelling Content Creator (Paid Ads)

🧘 About BePresent

BePresent is the fastest-growing screen time app 🚀, helping people have a healthier relationship with their phones. Instead of frustrating app blockers, we use gamification, rewards, and social dynamics, making staying off your phone as addictive as being on it.

Over 1M people have used BePresent to reduce their screen time, with the average user gaining back 15 hours per week: that’s over 6 years of life reclaimed.

We’ve figured out profitable growth through paid ads and scaled our ad account to $1M / mo. Now, we’re looking for someone to help us put fuel on the fire and scale to millions more.

🧑‍💻 About The Role:

Most paid ads are forgettable. Yours won’t be.

You're a storyteller first. You think in hooks, narrative arcs, and emotional beats, not just "content." As a Storytelling Content Creator (Paid Ads), you'll take simple insights and turn them into short-form stories that make people stop scrolling, feel something, and act.

BePresent is generating $1M /month on paid social and we need more great ads. Not more generic UGC, more stories that connect and make people FEEL. You'll own the full creative process from concept to final cut, creating short-form video ads for Meta and TikTok that drive real business results.

You'll report directly to the CEO and work alongside our performance marketing team, and you'll have something most creators never get: direct visibility into how your content actually performs. Every hook, every angle, every story gets real data behind it, so you're constantly learning what resonates and why.

This role is ideal for someone who's a strong writer and natural on-camera (or behind it), who's obsessed with what makes short-form content work, and who wants to grow into a senior creative role at a fast-scaling company.

🧠You will…

• Own creative ad production end-to-end: from concept and scripting to filming, editing, and iteration. You're not reading scripts someone else wrote—you're the one writing them.
• Write compelling scripts, hooks, and CTAs rooted in real human emotions and consumer psychology. This role is as much about copywriting/storytelling as it is about content creation
• Create short-form video content yourself: getting on camera, working with talent, and producing polished ads ready to run
• Edit content using tools like CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar
• Collaborate with our media buyer to run a high-tempo creative testing process: launch multiple angles, hooks, and formats weekly, analyze performance, and iterate on winners
• Mine app reviews, social comments, competitor ads, and trending content to fuel a constant pipeline of fresh creative angles
• Constantly bring new content formats and ideas to the table and pitch them with conviction

✅ What We’re Looking For:

• Hands-on creator: You make content — you're not just briefing others. You can shoot, edit, and ship ads yourself
• Strong storytelling: You can make people stop scrolling and feel something
• Camera-comfortable: You're willing to be on camera or direct talent to get the performance a great ad needs
• Creative sharpness: You have strong instincts for what makes content perform
• Editing skills: Proficient in CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or similar tools
• Short-form native: You understand TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — not just as a viewer, but as someone who has made content on these platforms
• Founder mindset: You take initiative, move fast, and own outcomes
• Data-literate: You combine creative instincts with an analytics mindset, connecting content to business results
• A body of work that speaks for itself: a TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, portfolio, or anything else that shows you can make content people actually watch
• Experience using AI tools in the creative production process

Bonus points if you:

• Have grown a brand, product, or personal project through content you made yourself
• Have experience with paid ads
• Have experience creating viral or high-performing short-form video
• Started an ecom brand or app and grew it with content

💪 What We Offer:

• Salary: $80k - $120k (base bonus, depending on experience)
• Meaningful equity at one of the fastest growing consumer companies
• A product with real growth, revenue, and impact
• An office in NYC with other breakout consumer startups
• Meet and learn from other top consumer founders and growth leaders
• Drive huge business impact with your work immediately reaching millions of people
• Huge growth opportunity: as BePresent grows so does your scope
