Video Creator & Editor Ongoing Weekly Work, 10–12+ Social Ads

TITLE AI Video Creator & Editor — Ongoing Weekly Work, 10–12+ Social Ads DESCRIPTION We’re looking for an experienced AI video creator and editor for ongoing, paid weekly work producing at least 10–12 short videos per week. These are vertical ads for Instagram Reels and TikTok, usually 15–30 seconds, occasionally up to 40 seconds. Our first priority is an AI mentor app for men. The ads explore recognisable situations: procrastination, loneliness, relationships, financial pressure, broken promises and wasted potential. The product must have a clear, meaningful role in each story. We want films that make people stop scrolling, recognise themselves and want to try the app. THE STANDARD We need photorealistic characters, believable acting, strong visual hooks, purposeful editing and excellent sound. The work should have colour, energy, personality and emotional weight. You must understand how to build a story, create tension and land a memorable ending. Character consistency, realistic hands, coherent environments and readable phone screens are essential. We review details closely. WHAT YOU WILL HANDLE • AI image and video generation. • Consistent characters across shots. • Animation, editing and compositing. • Integration of supplied app screens and branding. • Voiceover production when required, using an approved voice. • Commercially cleared music and sound effects. • English captions and final exports. We provide the concepts, scripts, brand assets and app references. We can also supply final voiceovers. We expect you to contribute creative judgement and improve the execution. WORKING ARRANGEMENT • Ongoing weekly work. • At least 10–12 completed videos per week. • Weekly payment. • A paid trial video before starting the regular arrangement. • Please quote your best weekly price for 12 videos, including your revision allowance. TO APPLY Please answer these five points: 1. Send your three strongest relevant videos. Tell us exactly which parts you created. 2. Which tools and workflow do you use to maintain realistic, consistent characters? 3. Can you reliably deliver 10–12 finished videos every week? What is your turnaround for the first draft? 4. What is your best weekly price, and what does it include? 5. Briefly describe how you would film this opening: “A man has spent hours building his perfect video-game character. Beside him are old pizza boxes and an overdue bill. The message: you can restart the game, but you cannot replay the years you’ve lost.” Give us your first three shots. We want to see how you think, not just which tools you use. Please start your proposal with “STORY FIRST” so we know you have read the brief. We’re looking for a reliable creative partner who can turn a strong idea into a finished ad people actually want to watch.

Saudi Arabic book Editor and Designer

I have two parallel needs on the same stream of projects. First, I must polish a steady flow of institutional, technical-proposal, and commercial texts so they read in impeccable Saudi Arabic. Every file should come back to me error-free, consistent in terminology, and written in a formal register that matches the business culture here in the Kingdom. I expect you to proof, edit, and when required completely rewrite paragraphs so the meaning is clearer yet still faithful to the source. Please return both a tracked-changes version and a clean final file. Second, I want those very same documents transformed into visually striking corporate layouts. Typical pieces include full company profiles and bid proposals that will be distributed in both Arabic (RTL) and English (LTR). The design must feel modern and institutional, ready for print and digital use, with brand-aligned typography, colour, and iconography. Editable source files (InDesign, Illustrator, or PowerPoint, depending on the job) together with press-ready and web-ready PDFs are the expected hand-off. Deliverables: • Linguistic review, edit, and rewrite of institutional, technical, and commercial content in formal Saudi Arabic • Tracked-changes file plus polished final document • Bilingual corporate profile or proposal design, RTL/LTR compliant • Editable design source files and final PDFs Kindly attach samples that highlight prior Saudi-market language work and corporate profile designs so I can gauge fit quickly.

Emergency Response Incident Manager – Remote / Out of Hours

Cobra Hydro UK works with water companies, providing essential support during emergency water supply incidents. These emergencies can happen at any time and may affect anything from a handful of properties to thousands of customers. Our role is to coordinate bottled water supplies and doorstep deliveries, particularly for vulnerable customers on the Priority Services Register (PSR). We are looking to expand our team of Emergency Response Incident Managers to provide remote, out-of-hours cover on a rota basis. This is more than simply being on call. When an incident occurs, you will be responsible for coordinating the emergency response, managing drivers and resources, communicating with clients and ensuring deliveries are completed efficiently. Key Responsibilities Receive emergency calls and assess the scale of the incident. Coordinate drivers, vehicles, subcontractors and bottled water supplies. Upload and manage customer delivery lists using our Emergency Water Delivery App. Allocate delivery routes and monitor progress throughout the incident. Communicate with drivers, suppliers and water company clients. Identify and resolve operational issues as they arise. Monitor response times and ensure delivery targets are met. Maintain accurate incident records, reports and handovers. Plan ahead to ensure sufficient resources are available throughout the incident. Manage the response from initial activation through to stand-down. What We're Looking For Excellent organisation and communication skills. Confidence using computers, spreadsheets and online systems. The ability to remain calm and make decisions under pressure. Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. A proactive, reliable and flexible approach. The ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities. Experience in logistics, transport coordination or emergency response would be beneficial, but is not essential as full training will be provided. Pay & Working Arrangements This is a fully remote, out-of-hours position operating on a planned standby rota. £200 per week standby allowance for being available during your allocated rota week. Hours - 16:00 - 09:00 on Weekdays 24/7 on Weekends - 09:00am Monday morning £20 per hour for time spent actively working on incidents during the training period. £40 per hour once you have completed training, demonstrated confidence and competence, and been approved by Cobra Hydro UK to take on the full Incident Manager role. Emergency incidents are unpredictable, so some standby periods may be quiet, while others may require several hours of active incident management. We are looking for dependable individuals who can take ownership, think on their feet and help us deliver an effective emergency response when it matters most.

EXECUTIVE PERSONAL ASSISTANT - Direct Person - No Agents

Flexible, adaptable, intelligent, diplomatic and ruthlessly efficient describes the person required. This opportunity is only for serious players. Your British Spoken and Written English skills must be excellent; there is no time for correcting spellings and pronunciations from other jurisdictions and dialects. You must be capable of being shown how to do something once and then doing it correctly, consistently and repeatedly without needing to be reminded, chased or shown again. You must be available to start immediately. British working hours must be covered, although working times will vary and may fall anywhere between 6.00 am and 9.00 pm. Weekend work will be required when workloads, urgent cases or major deadlines demand it. You will become the right-hand person to the Executive Director of Landlord Licensing & Defence. Things must be made to happen quickly, accurately and efficiently so that backlogs do not develop and deadlines are never missed. Fast and reliable broadband is essential, together with a backup internet connection for use if the main service fails because of a provider problem, natural disaster or any other disruption. This role is for someone who works hard, goes the extra mile, remains dependable and understands that clients and urgent work cannot simply be abandoned when pressure increases. The systems are relatively simple and straightforward, and anyone who listens carefully, follows instructions and learns quickly should be capable of providing the required support. Much of the work involves copying and pasting accurately, interpreting information, filling gaps, completing forms, preparing documents, maintaining systems and relentlessly following people up until the required result is achieved. The Executive Director does not have time to continue carrying out administration because previous assistants were inefficient, failed to learn and could not act properly upon short or incomplete instructions. There is nothing unnecessarily complicated about the administrative work, but it must be completed correctly, quickly and in exactly the required way. Excellent spoken and written English is compulsory. Perfect grammar, spelling, comprehension and attention to detail must be demonstrated in everything written and said throughout the application process. Being “nearly right” will not be good enough. Communication must always be written in the required house style, which means that there is no “I” or “we”, the client and subject matter remain central, opinions are not invented and every statement is based upon facts, evidence, the law and the reality of the work being undertaken. All clients are under immense pressure because enforcement action is being taken against them. Anxiety and distress must be handled quickly, calmly and diplomatically without promises being made that cannot be fulfilled and without deadlines being committed to unless delivery can be guaranteed. Incomplete instructions must be understood in the context of previous work so that documents and tasks can be prepared for checking without everything having to be explained from the beginning. Corrections must be understood, implemented immediately and applied to all future work without the same mistakes being repeated. This is not a comfortable role for someone who needs constant supervision, avoids responsibility, disappears when things become difficult or produces excuses instead of results. The Executive Director works fast, expects things to be done properly, does not suffer fools gladly and wants the bloody job done. If that sounds unreasonable, do not apply. If that sounds like the challenge you have been waiting for, apply now. Where you live does not matter, and applications are welcomed from anywhere in the world provided that the required working hours, availability, internet reliability and standard of English can be delivered without exception. ACTION: Send a short, entertaining story by DM explaining why an invitation to apply should be sent to you. Do not send a generic CV introduction, corporate waffle or something obviously produced by artificial intelligence. Show intelligence, personality, humour, perfect English and the ability to follow these instructions.

Meta & TikTok Ads Setup – Shopify Beauty Brand

I’m looking for an experienced ecommerce performance marketer to set up and manage Meta Ads and TikTok Ads for HYGEA BEAUTY for an initial 2-month period. Website: hygeabeauty.com HYGEA is a UK Shopify beauty brand selling reusable makeup blending sponges. We currently have one core product in Multicolour and Black, with different bundle options: 1 pack – 5 sponges, 2 pack bundle, 3 pack bundle The aim is straightforward: generate profitable online sales and identify which audiences, offers, creatives and platforms work best. **Scope** I need someone to handle: 1. Meta Business Manager / Ads Manager setup and review 2. TikTok Ads account setup/review 3. Meta Pixel + Conversion API / Shopify tracking 4. TikTok Pixel and conversion tracking 5. Correct Purchase, Add to Cart and Checkout events 6. Campaign structure and targeting 7. Prospecting and retargeting 8. Ad copy 9. Static/image ads 10. Testing different hooks, offers and bundles 11. A/B testing creatives and audiences 12. Regular campaign optimisation for 3 months until everything is optimised and all ad types are setup 13. Budget allocation based on performance 14. Weekly performance updates initially, with clear monthly reporting on CPA, ROAS, CTR, conversion rate and sales going forward 15. Recommendations for improving the website/product page where relevant I don't want campaigns simply switched on and left running. I'm looking for someone who will actively analyse the results, cut poor-performing ads, test new ideas and move budget towards what is working. *Creative testing* We will have professional product photography available and can provide existing brand/product assets. I'm particularly interested in testing different advertising angles, including: - Premium-quality beauty sponges at an affordable price - Value of receiving 5 sponges per pack - Bundle/value offers - Product demonstrations - Before/application/after concepts - Beauty routine content - Static vs video/UGC-style advertising - Different hooks and opening messages I'm open to the freelancer recommending other approaches based on previous beauty/ecommerce experience. *Video / UGC ads* If you can also create high-quality short-form video or UGC-style ads, please quote this separately. I'm happy to pay extra for video creative where there is a strong reason to believe it will improve Meta/TikTok performance compared with relying only on static images. This could include: - Product demonstration videos - Hands applying foundation with the sponge - Beauty routine/GRWM style content - UGC-style testimonials/concepts - Voiceover ads - Hook-focused TikTok/Reels creatives - Multiple edited versions/hooks from the same footage Please explain exactly what video content you can provide and the additional cost. *Important* Because we're an early-stage brand with one main product, I don't want unnecessarily complicated campaigns. I'd prefer someone who can start lean, generate data, identify winning creatives/offers and then scale what works. I'm also open to prioritising Meta initially and introducing TikTok once we have enough data/creative, if you believe that will produce better results than splitting a limited budget across both from day one. *Budget* Approximately £350–£500 fixed price for initial setup and 2-3 months of active optimisation/management. Advertising spend is separate. I'm happy to consider a higher proposal for someone with a particularly strong track record with Shopify beauty/ecommerce brands. Video/UGC content can be quoted separately. When applying, please include: 1. Examples/results from Shopify or ecommerce campaigns you've managed 2. Beauty/cosmetics experience if available 3. Typical ROAS/CPA examples from comparable products 4. Exactly what you'll do during the 2-month period 5. How often you optimise campaigns 6. Your approach to testing creatives 7. Whether you'd launch Meta and TikTok together or phase them 8. Whether you can create video/UGC ads and the cost 9. What advertising budget you'd recommend initially for Hygea Beauty 10. Any initial thoughts after reviewing hygeabeauty.com Please don't send a generic copy-and-paste proposal. I'm looking for someone performance-focused who could continue working with Hygea Beauty long-term if the initial campaigns perform well.
