CREATIVE CONTENT AND MARKETING PARTNER FOR A DARK LITERARY BRAND

CREATIVE CONTENT AND MARKETING PARTNER FOR A DARK LITERARY BRAND

I’m seeking one talented individual to help grow my author platform and dark literary brand as well as marketing digital products I produce.

This opportunity is for an individual contractor only. Please do not apply on behalf of an agency, company, or marketing team.

My brand explores psychological and supernatural horror, grief, trauma, tarot, and disturbing human behavior. The platform will also feature reviews of books and audiobooks containing highly taboo subject matter. You must be mature, nonjudgmental, and comfortable creating content around challenging fictional themes when appropriate. Clear content warnings will always be provided.

This is not a basic social media assistant role. I’m looking for a creative and marketing partner who can help transform my writing, reviews, products, and ideas into compelling content that builds an audience, strengthens the brand, and supports sales.

WHAT YOU WOULD OWN

• Developing and refining creative concepts collaboratively
• Producing the footage and imagery required for each concept rather than relying primarily on stock assets
• Editing video, sound, movement, text, transitions, and visual continuity
• Adapting core content appropriately for Instagram and Facebook
• Applying knowledge of hooks, calls to action, retention, saves, shares, and rewatch value
• Using promotional strategy to help the right content reach the right audience

STARTING WEEKLY RHYTHM

The initial expectation is one post per day, with a minimum of seven posts per week. A single core post may be adapted for both Instagram and Facebook, so this does not mean creating fourteen unrelated pieces of content. Every post should give the audience a reason to pause, respond, save, share, visit a product page, or take another meaningful action.

REELS- Two per week, generally ranging from approximately 5 to 10 seconds depending on the concept.

CAROUSELS- Two saveable, story-driven, educational, review-based, or promotional carousels per week.

HIGH-IMPACT VISUALS- Two original graphics, cinematic stills, quote treatments, or promotional visuals per week.

FLEXIBLE DAILY POSTS- Additional text-based, opinion, review, question, photograph, quote, promotional, or engagement posts as needed to complete the weekly posting rhythm.

PLANNING

This is a starting rhythm, not a rigid formula. The mix can change as we identify what performs best, prepare for publication, promote new products, or develop stronger creative opportunities.

WHAT I WILL PROVIDE

• Completed digital products ready for promotion
• Product information and the intended audience for each item
• Original stories, excerpts, characters, themes, and writing
• Completed book and audiobook reviews
• Detailed reel concepts, scene descriptions, and prompts
• Hooks, quotes, captions, calls to action, and rough written material
• Music selections when a reel is built around a specific song
• Visual references showing the desired direction, as well as what to avoid
• Subject knowledge covering psychological and supernatural horror, tarot, books, audiobooks, authors, and narrators
• Clear creative direction, regular communication, detailed feedback, and final approval

You will not be responsible for creating the digital products themselves.(however, if you have ideas that you believe will sell the most at this moment, I’m all ears). I will provide the finished products while we collaborate on the social media content. Your role will be to present and promote them consistently where the right customers can discover them, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Etsy, and other platforms that genuinely suit the products and brand.

I added some examples of digital products I have created. There are a lot more.

This engagement will begin with a paid one-month trial. My goal, however, is to build a genuine long-term partnership. The right person will be interested in the subject matter, willing to learn my voice, and motivated to help the platform grow as I prepare my original work for publication.

Local applicants are preferred when practical, but I’m open to working with the right remote candidate.

THEN INCLUDE:

• Examples of short-and long-form reels, graphics, carousels, or campaigns you have created
• Any verifiable marketing results
• The creative, video, and marketing tools you own and know how to use confidently
• The AI tools you use regularly and find genuinely effective, including how you use them in your creative, content, editing, research, or marketing workflow

•Your expected rate for the one-month trial based on the workload described above*

I understand the Instagram algorithm, and I need to know that you understand it as well. Please explain in detail what you believe currently works and creates reach, retention, saves, shares, engagement, and converting attention into meaningful audience growth and sales.

I’m excited to find someone creative, reliable, and genuinely interested in building this with me.
