The Role
We are expanding our short-form social team for Oddbods—one of the world’s funniest, most beloved non-dialogue character brands on YouTube—and we are looking for a talented Social Content Creator with a strong background in short-form motion design to help drive its evolution.
This is a hands-on, high-output role for a versatile creative with sharp character instincts and strong motion skills who can produce a high volume of on-brand content at pace. Sitting within Moonbug’s dynamic Gaming & Interactive Team, your mission is to build an active, playful digital community that engages deeply with the Oddbods series, its Roblox game Obby Bods, and other brand touchpoints.
We take an experimental, fast-moving approach to social media—encouraging creative risk-taking and constant testing to stay ahead of ever-evolving algorithms. Working closely with our Social Producer, you will be responsible for scaling our output from 3 to 5+ premium short-form videos a week across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. You will use whatever tools get you there—including modern generative solutions alongside traditional pipelines—to keep our global audience engaged and entertained.
Responsibilities
- Storyboarding: Quickly visualise briefed ideas and sketch concepts to pressure-test creative directions before committing full production time.
- Production: Create on-brand, short-form video content using an efficient mix of generative and traditional tools to hit high-volume turnarounds without sacrificing quality.
- Polishing: Collaborate cross-functionally with Gaming, Brand, and Production teams to refine poses, expressions, and visual elements, ensuring our characters remain perfectly on-model while reacting to real-time trends.
- Templatising: Build repeatable design systems, assets, and style guides so proven social formats can scale seamlessly rather than being rebuilt from scratch.
- Platform Optimisation: Design, record, and edit high-performing video content tailored specifically to the unique visual mechanics and user behaviours of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
- Proven Track Record: Experience as a video designer, social content creator, fan editor, or a similar role within a fast-paced digital or entertainment environment.
- Strong Portfolio/Showreel: A reel demonstrating excellent motion design and/or 3D animation skills, alongside self-edited short-form content delivered at volume with minimal oversight.
- Technical Expertise: Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop) and Figma.
- Agile Visualization: The ability to rapidly sketch and pitch visual concepts to align stakeholders before diving into production.
- Platform Fluency: Deep knowledge of current social media trends, meme culture, audio formats, and algorithm mechanics.
- Modern Workflows: Comfort integrating modern generative AI tools alongside traditional workflows to accelerate output and scale production.
- Character Intuition: A genuine feel for physical comedy, slapstick humour, and character-driven storytelling, ideally within kids or family entertainment.
Nice-to-haves:
- Prior experience working as an in-house contractor or within a social-first creative agency for an entertainment or character brand.
- Traditional drawing or digital illustration skills.
- Experience capturing high-quality gaming footage.
