· Produce A/B test variations for paid ads (hooks, intros, CTAs, lengths, captions).

· Maintain consistent visual standards, sound quality, and brand voice across all content.

Field Production and Travel

· Travel for on-site shoots (quarterly) across the US and internationally, including Wisconsin, Texas, California, Mexico, and Canada.

· Film products in real-world use, customer sites, reseller or dealer visits, trade shows, and partner facilities.

· Plan travel filming schedules to maximize content volume and efficiency per trip.

· Handle cameras, lenses, audio, lighting, and supporting gear during travel.

· Represent the brands professionally in customer and partner environments.

Marketing + Sales Collaboration

· Work closely with the Marketing Team to align video content with campaigns, launches, and growth priorities.

· Partner with the Sales Team to capture real-world product scenarios, FAQs, customer challenges, and value-driven content themes.

· Attend weekly marketing meetings to review performance, plan content, and present new ideas.

· Coordinate with the Sales Team when capturing field content with customers, dealers, and industry partners.

· Participate in monthly content planning to batch concepts, scripts, shoot lists, and quarterly themes.

Brand & Content Development

· Develop recurring video series, creative storytelling formats, and brand-specific content styles for each company.

· Build and manage an organized media library of footage, B-roll, audio, interviews, and reusable assets.

· Produce occasional mid-form content such as case studies, testimonial pieces, sales tool videos, and event recaps.
