About Us:
Dakota Stones is a leading gemstone brand with a loyal following of designers, collectors, and jewelry makers. We run weekly product promos and need a dedicated video creator who can help us level up our short-form content — Reels, TikToks, and Facebook Lives — filmed in person here in Minneapolis.
What We’re Looking For:
We need someone who can do more than just edit — we’re looking for a creative partner who can film, direct, and guide our team each week. You’ll work closely with our on-camera talent and marketing team to bring fresh, strategic content to life.
What You’ll Do:
Collaborate with us on video ideas aligned with our weekly promo calendar
Film product-focused content with our in-house talent (usually in-studio or on-site)
Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts
Handle posting with captions, hashtags, and platform-optimized formatting
Help us experiment, iterate, and grow engagement organically
What You Bring:
Strong filming and editing skills — phone, DSLR, doesn’t matter as long as you deliver quality
Experience with short-form video content (especially product or personality-driven)
Familiarity with Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook best practices
A strategic mindset: you help us shape the content, not just execute instructions
Availability to meet on location in Minneapolis a few hours per week
Nice to Have:
Familiarity with vertical storytelling for eCommerce or retail
Confidence giving light direction or coaching to talent during filming
Interest in gemstones, crafts, or small business storytelling
To Apply:
Send us:
A few samples of short-form videos you've filmed and edited
A short note about how you'd approach content strategy for a brand like ours
Your general availability and preferred rate
We’re excited to find someone who’s local, creative, and ready to build something great with us.
