ABOUT DRAGONFRUIT MEDIA

tldr: Dragonfruit Media is an agency that helps some of the biggest businesses and creators maximize engagement, revenue, and impact on YouTube. We leverage the power of human storytelling to amplify marginalized voices, teach valuable insights, and tackle systemic problems.

Some of the creators we’ve helped include Ali Abdaal, Ryan Deiss, David Perell, Sorelle Amore, as well as brands like FTX, Clickup, and Linktree. In just the last 12 months, we’ve helped our clients achieve over 65 million organic views.

Our videos cover a diverse set of topics, from Kendrick Lamar’s notetaking style, real estate, and global economic trends, study tips, or podcast shows where our clients have interviewed Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and other top tech thought leaders.

We’re looking for:

• ROCKSTAR EDITORS with strong motion graphics background that are excited to edit videos that get hundreds of thousands of views

• Short form editors who are experienced with IG reels and Tik tok
  

Why we do it:

• 🔥 Video is the fastest growing and most scalable medium for organic customer acquisition

• 💵 Businesses owning organic distribution channels (vs constantly buying media) will dominate the future of marketing.

• 🌎 Stories transform lives, and if we can teach millions of people through our client's videos, we are making the world a better place.

You’re a good fit if...

• You understand both Premiere Pro and After Effects and have a strong motion graphics and design background (not just simple editing)

• You have digital marketing agency or ad agency experience, or better yet, have produced videos for YouTube

• You appreciate nuanced sound design and selecting the best music gives you a silly amount of satisfaction

• You don’t need to be given the same feedback multiple times, you pay attention to revision rounds so that everybody’s time is respected (including yours)

• You are adept at creating custom after-effects animations that bring ideas to life on screen

• You’re an excellent communicator who clarifies instructions and deadlines proactively so that your team can succeed.

• You’re results-oriented and care about integrating feedback to improving your craft with each video

Compensation

• We’re searching for experienced video editors with motion graphics background. Compensation begins on a per video basis but after a trial period we offer competitive full-time rates after tenure (full-time team members also receive paid vacation and performance-based bonuses)

• Full videos usually take 7 days to complete so you’ll have consistent work at one project each week!

Hiring Process

• Once you submit your application to the google form below, we will review your portfolio and reach out to you via email.

• We’ll assign a trial assignment (very short 70-second video) to that is similar to the portfolio above, to evaluate your editing, animation, and communication skills

• If you meet the editing style we are looking for, we will extend our offer and start giving you your first projects.
