About Designing Business
Designing Business is a boutique branding, marketing, and business intelligence agency built on one belief:
Marketing isn’t about being louder. It’s about being remembered.
We partner with organizations that value thoughtful strategy, intentional design, and authentic storytelling. Every project begins with understanding the business behind the brand, then creating content that helps it become unforgettable.
We’re currently seeking a Brand Content Creator – Lifestyle to join our growing creative team.
About the Role
This position begins as a part-time contract role (approximately 10–15 hours per month) with opportunities to grow alongside our client portfolio.
Our Brand Content Creators don’t simply take photos or film videos.
They help organizations communicate who they are.
You’ll capture authentic content for businesses in industries such as:
- Mental Health
- Med Spas
- Wellness
- Beauty
- Retail
- Hospitality
- Restaurants
- Home Lifestyle
- Professional Services
Every photo, every video, and every interaction should strengthen a client’s brand.
What You’ll Do
- Capture high-quality photo and video content for client marketing.
- Create engaging short-form video for social media.
- Photograph products, interiors, services, staff, and customer experiences.
- Capture authentic behind-the-scenes moments.
- Adapt your creative style while respecting each client’s unique brand identity.
- Deliver organized, high-quality media within agreed timelines.
- Represent both Designing Business and our clients professionally during every content session.
You Might Be a Great Fit If…
- You naturally notice details other people overlook.
- You wait for the right lighting instead of rushing the shot.
- You enjoy meeting new people and making them feel comfortable on camera.
- You understand that authenticity outperforms trends.
- You take pride in producing polished, intentional work.
- You’re dependable, organized, and comfortable working independently.
We’re far more interested in your creative eye, professionalism, and ability to tell stories than the number of years on your résumé.
Requirements
- Reliable transportation for local travel
- Portfolio demonstrating photography and/or videography
- Experience creating content for social media
- Ability to independently manage scheduled content sessions
- Strong communication and organization skills
- Experience with Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, Canva, or similar editing software is required.
- Experience in a social media role is preferred
Why Designing Business?
We’re intentionally building a team of creatives who specialize in different industries.
Rather than assigning the same creator to every client, we pair businesses with people who understand the visual language of their industry.
We’re looking for someone who wants to grow alongside the agency—not simply complete another freelance project.
