ABOUT KINSHIP

Kinship is an integrated marketing agency serving leaders in food, travel and culture. We blend Public Relations, Social Media, Digital Marketing and Studio production to build brands that move people — and drive measurable impact.
Our Studio team captures the emotion, craft and energy of hospitality. We don’t create content for content’s sake. We create visual systems that build attention, affinity and revenue.
ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re hiring an entrepreneurially-minded Content Creator who will assist us in a contract capacity who is equally strong in professional photography and videography to shoot both during the same content session, with a deep portfolio rooted in restaurants, hotels, chefs, bars and hospitality lifestyle.
We are seeking a hybrid shooter who can confidently:
Concept
Capture
Direct
Light
Edit
Deliver
You should thrive in fast-paced environments, feel at home on property and understand how to translate a hospitality brand into imagery that sells without feeling like it’s selling.
