Social Media Content Creator — Hartbeespoort
This is a shoot-and-cut role for someone who thinks in vertical. You will spend a morning on a property, in a hotel or at an estate, capture the handheld coverage a reel actually needs, then cut and caption it the same week. We are less interested in follower counts than in whether your reels hold to the end.
You will work off a monthly content calendar per client, so the job is as much planning and consistency as it is filming. Hooks in the first second, captions that read without sound, and a posting cadence that does not collapse in week three.
It suits a creator who wants regular retained hours alongside their own projects.
Working in Hartbeespoort
Hartbeespoort is weekend-home and lifestyle-estate country an hour from Sandton — dam-front villas, Kosmos ridge homes and estates like Pecanwood and Xanadu. Aerial work carries most listings here, which makes licensed drone crew the priority hire. Days often pair a morning listing with an afternoon estate or venue shoot to make the drive worthwhile.
Where the work happens: Kosmos, Melodie, Pecanwood, Xanadu, Broederstroom and the wider dam basin.

- Plan a monthly content calendar per client and shoot against it
- Capture handheld vertical coverage on location — property, hospitality, brand

- Report on what performed and adjust the next month accordingly
What you need
