About MarkMedia

MarkMedia is a creative content agency specializing in strategic storytelling, corporate branding, and high-impact video production. We partner with global investors and their portfolio companies to craft compelling narratives that drive fundraising, marketing, and business growth.

Unlike traditional advertising agencies, we take a documentary-style approach, showcasing real people—executives, investors, and internal teams—rather than actors or scripted commercials. Our content helps investors articulate their vision and success while equipping businesses with the tools to attract capital, engage stakeholders, and build credibility.

From executive interviews to annual reports, we offer a full suite of creative services, including strategic communications, brand storytelling, creative direction, and media training. Our expertise spans video production, photography, podcasts, and virtual events, delivering high-quality content that engages audiences and drives results.

We’re in an exciting phase of growth and are looking for talented professionals to help us scale. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where creativity meets strategy, we’d love to hear from you.

Who This Role Is For

You’re a skilled and creative video editor with a passion for storytelling and a keen eye for detail. You excel at transforming raw footage into polished, engaging content that amplifies brand messaging and resonates with target audiences. You’re highly organized, able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, and thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

You’re not just an editor—you’re a problem-solver who can take a creative brief and bring it to life, whether it’s a thought leadership piece, a corporate profile, or a social media clip. You’re comfortable working independently but also collaborate seamlessly with producers, creatives, and clients to deliver exceptional results.
