This individual will work collaboratively with faculty, staff, and leadership to develop and execute a consistent visual and narrative content strategy across our website, print materials, and various digital platforms, including social media, Substacks, and more. The primary goal of this role is to generate compelling marketing materials, high-quality photos, and short-form videos that are consistent with Talcott's brand identity, mission, and strategic messaging.
As the central visual storyteller, you will spend dedicated, scheduled time on campus and at related facilities to capture high-quality photos and short-form video of our activities in an unobtrusive manner. You will be responsible for editing, sequencing, and enhancing visual and aural content; organizing video into engaging short-form content suitable for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Substack, or Talcott blogs; and designing print materials. A critical duty is maintaining an organized, cloud-based, curated library of all visual and aural assets.
The successful candidate will also proactively communicate with the Senior Leadership Team and faculty to identify upcoming compelling activities and features worthy of promotion. You must ensure all content adheres strictly to organizational brand guidelines, tone, and messaging, reflecting Talcott’s focus on STEM excellence, inquiry-based research, and curiosity.
