AddressForget what you've heard about "agencies". That's not us. We're the digital marketing, creative and development team for up to 25 epic Outdoors Brands.
We're looking for a specialist in content creation to join our existing team of two full-time videographers - someone passionate about shooting epic content, editing, and making the most of the content across today's most popular marketing platforms.
We've got a unique opportunity, and it might be a good fit for you if:
- You're an in-house videographer currently, looking to surround yourself with likeminded people and work on exciting projects with Outdoors Brands. An agency seems like a good opportunity for growth and variety, but you're just not meshing with the "sell sell sell" values of typical digital agencies; or
- You're a digital agency videographer, getting a bit tired of doing the bare minimum for so many clients at once and feeling unable to reach your potential or build meaningful content for a revolving door of uninspiring clients.
Who we are
At Devote Digital, we're Marketing Outdoors Brands for a set group of up to 25 brands. Our digital team only ever works on 4-5 brands each, taking care of their end-to-end marketing needs.
We're currently looking to expand our West End based team to welcome a passionate and skilled videographer.
Who you are
- At least 2 years of experience in the areas listed below
- You'll be coming in with passion, drive, and proven experience in managing creative shoots end-to-end - from pre-production, to videoshoot, to post-production.
- Your experience and passion lies in researching, writing, producing, and optimising content that informs, educates, and entertains various audiences - and you’re excited to sink your teeth into some leading brands in the outdoors space!
- You'll have a proactive approach, with confidence in taking ownership of your work and can easily prioritise and manage your time effectively
- You'll have extensive proven experience in video production and editing (colour grading, sound design)
- You're a whiz when it comes to shooting in different setting for different outputs.
- You've demonstrated excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
- You're a problem-solving wizard
- You have high levels of creative talent, as well as personal commitment and interest.
- You have a strong portfolio highlighting a range of creative projects and styles.

We’re looking for someone who is keen to make this role their own, and really demonstrate their eagerness, skills and creativity for content.
Who we work with
We work with outdoors & lifestyle brands. Our brands encourage people to do what they love - spearfishing, scuba diving, surfing, 4x4, camping, fishing, riding motorbikes, and other hobbies. This means the audiences we're communicating with are passionate and actually want to hear from us!
What you'll do
- Conceptualising, planning, and executing video shoots.
- Setting up and capturing compelling shots to meet project requirements, including basic lighting and optimal audio capture.
- Editing and assembling raw footage into refined, cohesive videos.
- Utilising editing tools, such as Adobe Premiere Pro & Adobe After Effects (Dialogue cutting, editing consultant and trouble-shooter).
- Incorporating graphics, effects, and transitions as needed.
- Collaborating with clients, producers, directors, and talent, or working independently.
- Visualizing production scripts and briefs into impactful content
- Tailored for diverse digital platforms.

What we don't believe in...
To understand what we're all about, it's useful to highlight what we DON'T believe in. We are quite different from other agencies in this way!
What we DON'T believe in:
- Having a sales or "biz dev" team. We're a 100% referral based business, and always will be. No cold calling, no biz dev.
- Having 300 clients. We work with no more than 20 brands at once, to keep quality high and allow our team to focus on making a difference for just a few brands each.
- Working with just anyone, or any brand that comes along. We turn clients away weekly because we're nearly always full. We only work with brands and people we love.
- Locking businesses into contracts. There are no contracts here - if a brand doesn't want to work with an agency they shouldn't have to, simple. We earn our keep week-in week-out. As a result, our team experiences the opposite to this - brands try to lock us into contracts with them so that we don't leave!
- Up-selling clients, or constantly playing the "that's outside of scope, here's your quote" card. No one likes surprises. Our brands pay a flat-rate all-inclusive retainer and in return they get a digital marketing and creative team with clear goals and strategies. Easy!
- Having sales targets for our team. That makes no sense! Your passion is content and marketing, you're not a salesperson - none of us are! Our business is run on doing great work - not on hitting targets.
What we do believe in...
The above gives you some insight into what we stand for in terms of our values, and how we're different as an "agency". Below are some of the other values we hold close!
- Innovation. We're constantly at the forefront of new advancements, which requires a willingness to test, learn, and iterate. New shouldn't feel scary, it should feel exciting!
- Quality. There's a reason we're always booked out, and this is it.
- Effort. You don't get high quality and innovative results without effort. We value and reward those who love putting their best foot forward.
- Teamwork. We're a close team, we're supportive, and we're human. We're there for each other to help out no matter what.
- Low stress environment. You know what's great about this career? When we make mistakes (which we all will) no one dies! We treat our partners' brands as if they were our own, which means we put our best foot forward - but doing so should feel GOOD, not stressful.
- Growth & Learning. We love to see our team grow personally and professionally. If you're looking to grow, we're here to support and reward that dedication. We're also aware that this is an "always learning" industry, which means we're always growing our own knowledge no matter how "senior" we are.
- Consistency over intensity. We're walking the 20 mile march here, not running a marathon. We're aiming to consistently hit small, incremental growth targets that together stack up to phenomenal growth. As much as possible, we approach our work in a calm, clear, and ordered way to dodge unnecessary burnout.
- Honesty & Transparency. We're open, honest and transparent with each other and our brands - and they're transparent with us in return!
Benefits & Perks
- Indicative salary package: $70,000 - $80,000 pa
- Work with fun, Outdoors Brands - endless great content opportunities!
- Plenty of room for growth - if you're ambitious, we love that and are happy to reward your “above and beyond” attitude accordingly!
- Optional weekly activities - kickboxing, yoga, pilates, scuba diving, wine & painting, poker nights - we’re always learning something new together and having a blast doing it
- Sporadic trips away - we've spent a week working in Bali, a week on Stradbroke Island, and a couple of long weekends at the vineyards in the Granite Belt region
- Coffee and snacks on tap - of course!
- Dedicated car park available for just $30 per week, and close to public transport
- We live on the best food & coffee strip in Brisbane, with lots of great gyms/boxing options close by too
