Greenbelt, MD (Hybrid) · Full-Time or Contractor
The short version
We make brands and places impossible to scroll past. We need someone who can do it every day, on every feed, without running out of ideas by Tuesday.
Who we are
Merrick Creative is a creative and communications agency in Greenbelt, MD. We work with the depth of a consultancy, the fire of a studio, and the urgency of a newsroom. We build brand strategy, marketing, PR, podcasts, and AI tools we actually use. Real estate, food and beverage, national brands. If a brand or a place needs to matter to people, that is the work.
The role
You are a maker. You shoot the photo, capture the video, write the caption. You are comfortable being the one holding the camera and the one holding the pen. And when an idea needs more than one set of hands, you have a full design team within arm's reach to build it with you. You know the difference between a post that fills a calendar slot and a post that makes someone stop, laugh, and tap follow.
What you'll do
Shoot and create. Photo, video, copy. You produce the raw material that makes a feed worth following.
Write the words. Every platform, every format, on brand and on time.
Lean on the team. Tap our designers when an idea calls for polish, motion, or something built from scratch.
Run the feeds. Post, engage, reply, and grow the audience like the numbers are yours.
Get in the room. Brainstorm with strategists, designers, and producers and bring ideas nobody else brought.
Stay current. Spot trends early, test them fast, drop the ones that flop.
Put AI to work. Human-first, always. But we use AI for good and build our own tools to move faster and spend more time on the ideas. You'll help us do it well.
What you bring
1 to 3 years making social content that people actually engaged with.
A real eye and hand for shooting photo and video, plus the instinct to know when to bring in the design team.
Fluency across the major platforms and the tools that feed them.
A perfectionist streak. You notice when something's a pixel off or a word too long.
Real curiosity about marketing, culture, and where the internet is headed next.
Writing that sounds like a person. Talking that closes the room.
The ability to juggle five things and drop none of them.

Real experience editing podcasts or audio. Show us. Portfolio or samples required.
Command of at least one pro editing tool. Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Reaper, Audacity. Tell us your weapon of choice. Most of our recording lives on Riverside and we polish in Capcut or Wondershare Filmora.
A working grip on mixing, EQ, compression, and the basics of mastering.
Obsessive attention to detail and a standard for clean, professional sound.
The ability to communicate well, work solo, and hit deadlines without a babysitter.
A problem-solver's instinct. Every show has a different format and tone. You adapt.
Bonus points for sound design, music, and a knack for social cutdowns.
What's in it for you
Remote or in-person, on a schedule that flexes around your life.
Real work on diverse, high-profile shows.
A team that actually backs you and gives you room to level up.
A portfolio built on professional shows people actually listen to.
