WE’RE HIRING: Marketing & Content Creation Assistant (Part-Time)

Do you love live entertainment, visual storytelling, and creating scroll-stopping multimedia content? The historic Milton Theatre is looking for a Part-Time Marketing & Content Creation Assistant with a sharp eye for photography, video production, graphic design, and compelling copy to help bring our stage to life online and in our community!

With over 400 events each year—from mainstage theatrical productions and concerts to comedy specials and community festivals—there’s always something exciting happening at the Milton Theatre. Working directly with the Marketing Director, you’ll be on the front lines capturing the energy of our venue, designing polished visual assets, producing dynamic videos, and crafting punchy copy that converts followers into ticket buyers.

What You’ll Do:

  • Capture Content On-Site: Attend select rehearsals, backstage preparations, sound checks, and live performances to capture high-impact stage photography, portraits, candid moments, and video footage.

  • Graphic Design & Layout: Design eye-catching digital graphics, social media tiles, flyers, web banners, digital signage, and program layouts maintaining brand consistency using Canva, Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator.

  • Photo Editing & Asset Management: Color-grade, retouch, and optimize raw photos for marketing promos, press releases, social media carousels, and website archives.

  • Produce Short- & Long-Form Video:

    • Shoot, edit, and package high-energy short-form vertical content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts, Stories) paired with trending audio and strong visual hooks.

    • Develop, film, and edit longer-form video assets (cast interviews, mini-documentaries, production recaps, backstage tours, and promotional featurettes) for YouTube, Facebook, and our website.

  • Write Compelling Copy: Craft engaging, personality-driven text for video captions, photo essays, show promos, press snippets, and email blasts that grab attention and inspire ticket sales.

  • Manage Social Feeds: Draft, schedule, and publish content across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging channels while interacting with audience comments.

  • Drive Show Awareness: Assist in executing promotional campaigns across digital event listings, community calendars, local media outlets, and targeted digital ads.

  • Brainstorm & Collaborate: Pitch creative narrative angles, visual themes, shoot concepts, and audience engagement campaigns to highlight our performers, students, donors, and community partners.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Graphic Design & Layout Chops: Strong sense of typography, hierarchy, color theory, and layout composition for both digital and print marketing collateral.

  • Photography & Editing Skills: Strong grasp of composition, lighting, and exposure (especially in challenging, low-light stage environments), alongside hands-on proficiency in photo editing software (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.).

  • Video Production & Editing: Proven ability to shoot and edit both snappy vertical videos and polished narrative horizontal pieces using tools like CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve.

  • Strong Copywriting Instincts: Ability to write clear, witty, and persuasive copy tailored to different platforms, video scripts, and audience demographics.

  • Organized & Nimble: Capable of balancing multiple production deadlines and adapting quickly in an active, fast-paced live entertainment environment.

  • Passion for the Arts: Genuine enthusiasm for theatre, live music, comedy, and community storytelling.

Bonus Points:

  • Hands-on experience operating mirrorless/DSLR cameras, external audio/microphones, and mobile gimbal stabilizers.

  • Advanced proficiency across Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere).

  • Background running business or organization social media accounts with measurable engagement growth.

  • Flexible evening and weekend availability to capture key production nights and live performances.

Position Details:
