The Role:
We're looking for freelance video presenters to join our UK-wide roster. You'll be the face of real brand campaigns, stopping people on the street and having genuine, unscripted conversations about the products our clients make.
This is freelance, day rate work, with a flexible schedule that fits around your life. For presenters who deliver, this becomes regular, ongoing work with a growing roster of clients.
What you will actually be doing:
- Filming street interviews in your city for consumer brands
- Providing and directing your own filming crew (camera operator on day)
- Bringing energy, curiosity, and natural conversation to every interaction
- Helping shape the creative direction of each shoot alongside our team
What we're looking for:
You don't need a presenting degree or an acting reel. We care about who you are on camera, not what's on your CV.
The Non-negotiables:
- You're natural and confident on camera without being performative
- You have a videographer present on filming days.
- You can hold a conversation with a stranger and make it interesting
- You're reliable when a shoot day is booked, you show up prepared
- You're based in or near London, Manchester, Bristol, Bath, Birmingham, or Leeds
Nice to have:
- Experience creating your own content (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram — anything)
- A genuine interest in brands, marketing, or consumer culture
We're open to all backgrounds. Male or female. Extroverts who thrive talking to strangers. People with that rare ability to make anyone feel comfortable within ten seconds of meeting them.
Compensation:
Budget range of £200-£600 day rate, depending on experience and project scope. Travel expenses covered on select projects.
How to apply:
Send us a short message through LinkedIn with:
- A link to any content you've created (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Portfolio.. anything works)
No formal CV needed. We'd rather see your personality than read about it.
If you've got questions before applying, feel free to message us, we're happy to chat.
