Seeks Content Creators
New York, NY
Get paid to make content. No following required.
Vertical Brands is an agency hiring content creators across New York for an ongoing, paid project with serious backing behind it. If you love being behind (and in front of) the camera, this is a chance to do work that matters, get paid properly for it, and build a long-term relationship with a team that'll keep bringing you projects.
Here's the part that catches people off guard: you don't need a following. We're not asking you to post anything on your own channels, and we don't care how many followers you have. This isn't influencer work. We just need people who are genuinely great at making content and know how to connect with a Gen Z audience.
What you'll be working on
Our focus is fresh, authentic, real-world content shot around New York. Day to day, that looks like:
Street interviews — stopping people around the city, asking the right questions, capturing real reactions and great moments
College campus content — getting out onto campuses across NY, talking to students, filming in and around campus life
Direct-to-camera pieces — presenting, talking to the lens, delivering a message in a way that feels natural and holds attention
Every project is about making content that feels real, not overproduced. If you can take an idea and turn it into something people actually stop and watch, you're exactly who we want.
What we're looking for
Based in or around New York and able to get to shoots across the city and nearby campuses
Confident and natural on camera, whether that's interviewing strangers or presenting straight to the lens
Genuinely good at content, with a feel for what works with a Gen Z audience
Fast and reliable, able to turn an idea into finished content without a lot of hand-holding
Someone who owns their work, hits deadlines and communicates well
Available for ongoing, retained work rather than just a one-off
A bonus (but not essential) if you can also handle your own filming and basic editing, though we're open to creators who are purely great on camera too.
The details
Paid work on a retained basis, so steady and ongoing rather than one and done
No personal following, audience or posting on your own socials required
A long-term project with more work likely to come, so there's real room to grow with us
You'll be part of a small team of creators we trust and keep coming back to
How to apply
We're moving quickly on this. To apply, send us anything that helps us understand who you are and what you can do — videos you've made, a portfolio, showreel or your socials. We're less interested in follower counts and far more interested in seeing your content and how you come across on camera.
Fill out the form below and include your links, and we'll be in touch soon.
