About the Client

Our client is a venture-backed, locally-focused tech platform launching in two major U.S. markets simultaneously. Their platform connects residents and visitors with local businesses, events, pop-ups, and offers in real time β€” no paid ads, no algorithms, no marketing expertise required. They are launching a B2B subscription product and a consumer app in parallel, with a major international sporting event as a growth catalyst. This is high-velocity, early-stage, ground-up brand and community building.


What You'll Own
  • You are the face-behind-the-feed for our client's Atlanta launch. You know this city β€” not from scrolling, but from living it. You're plugged into Atlanta's creator community, know which neighborhoods are popping, which small businesses deserve a spotlight, and how to make a Reel that stops the scroll. Channel and content strategy are already built. We want a doer who brings instincts β€” not someone who needs direction.


What You'll Do
  • Design scroll-stopping social graphics and short-form video in Canva + CapCut for Instagram and TikTok
  • Execute the content calendar using scheduling tools (Later, Metricool, or equivalent)
  • Set up and manage DM automation workflows to capture leads and drive app sign-ups
  • Monitor social listening tools and flag trending ATL content and community moments
  • Engage authentically with Atlanta's creator ecosystem β€” tagging, responding, amplifying
  • Deliver a weekly performance snapshot (reach, engagement, DM responses, link clicks)
You Are
  • Based in Atlanta β€” required, non-negotiable
  • Plugged into ATL communities without needing to Google it (BeltLine, neighborhoods, creators, culture)
  • An Instagram + TikTok native who understands the algorithm, formats, and what performs
  • Passionate about small businesses, local economies, and IRL community
  • A doer β€” you take a brief and run without hand-holding
  • Energized by creator crawls, pop-ups, markets, and community events
  • Excited about Atlanta's diversity and what makes this city uniquely ATL
Must-Have Skills
  • Canva (advanced) + short-form video editing (CapCut, InShot, or similar)
  • DM automation tools (ManyChat, platform-native, or Zapier-connected flows)
  • Social scheduling tools (Later, Metricool, Buffer, or equivalent)
  • Social listening and community monitoring
  • Deep knowledge of Atlanta's creator and local business landscape
Bonus
  • Experience with local brand or small business accounts
  • Existing relationships in the ATL creator or small business community
  • UGC content creation background
