JOB OVERVIEW

ABOUT US

We run Cocktail Week - city-wide cocktail festivals across more than 20 cities in the UK and Ireland, including Belfast, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Cardiff, Dublin and Cork.

Each city has its own event and its own social media accounts. We sell wristbands that give people access to discounted cocktails across dozens of bars in their city.

We are looking for someone to own our short-form video and paid advertising creative. This is a long-term role with real ownership, not a one-off project.


IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

You will not be filming our events. We have an archive of footage from previous years, content from influencers who attend our events, and stock footage. Your job is to turn that material into great short-form video.

We would also like you to shoot simple cocktail and bar footage yourself where you can - close-ups of pouring, ice, garnishes, glassware. Phone quality is fine. This kind of footage is useful to us and you can film it anywhere.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

SHORT-FORM VIDEO
- Edit Reels, TikToks and Stories from our archive, influencer content and stock footage
- Create city-specific versions of the same edit for 20+ cities, swapping logos, dates and links
- Add burned-in captions to every video
- Shoot simple cocktail and bar b-roll yourself to fill gaps

PAID ADVERTISING CREATIVE
- Produce multiple versions of each advert for testing - particularly different opening hooks
- Export in the formats we need (9:16, 4:5, 1:1)
- Produce static advert creative as well as video
- Follow advertising rules carefully (we will train you on these - they matter a lot in our industry)

SUPPORTING WORK
- Graphics for our email campaigns
- Images for our website venue listings
- Keeping our content library organised and properly tagged


WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

- A portfolio of SHORT-FORM VERTICAL VIDEO. Please do not send corporate videos, weddings or long-form work - it is a different craft and not what we need.
- Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut or similar
- An understanding of what makes someone stop scrolling in the first 2 seconds
- Comfortable producing many variations of the same concept for testing, rather than one polished piece. A lot of this job is volume.
- Always adding captions - you understand that most people watch with the sound off
- Able to follow brand guidelines precisely - colours, fonts, logos
- Reliable and communicative. If something is unclear, ask.


NICE TO HAVE (NOT REQUIRED)

- Experience making creative for Facebook or Instagram ads
- Motion graphics and animated text
- Canva
- Basic photography or product filming
- Any experience with food, drink or hospitality brands


HOW TO APPLY

Please send us:

1. A link to your portfolio or showreel. We are specifically looking for vertical short-form video. If your portfolio is mostly long-form, please point us to the short-form work.

2. A short note (maximum 200 words) about your experience with short-form and advertising creative.

3. Start your message with the word GARNISH so we know you have read this properly.

4. Tell us what software you use and your available hours.

Shortlisted applicants will be given a paid trial task (paid $60) before we make any hiring decision. We will send you footage and a brief. We pay for the trial regardless of the outcome.

We are looking for someone long-term who can grow with us. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear from you.
