Branded Content Creator

This is an opportunity to lean into Beats’ creative spirit by supporting the most talented filmmakers at HBCUs. This project puts the next generation of filmmakers in the driver’s seat. It is through their lens and stories that we challenge the boundaries of branded content. Ultimately, Beats is looking to identify 1-2 filmmakers currently enrolled in a HBCU or a recent 2020 HBCU graduate, to produce a 3-7 minute short film. The final film, once approved internally, will be featured on Beats’ digital/social channels.

IRL Creator

This is an opportunity to lean into Beats’ creative spirit by supporting the most talented content creators at HBCUs. “IRL” (IN REAL LIFE) showcases raw and more intimate moments with our talent — including artists, athletes, and creators from around the world. This content can be photos with talent naturally using product and/or video interviews with talent speaking about the importance of music in their lives, featuring product when appropriate. IRL represents the bulk of Beats’ Instagram grid and can be used to support talent moments or everyday moments that followers can relate to. Ultimately, Beats is looking to identify IRL creators either currently enrolled in a HBCU or recent 2020 HBCU graduates. These creators will produce a curated content piece to be showcased on Beats’ social channels. Creators will be given a monthly brief that speaks to a particular theme, and the IRL creator’s work will then be highlighted and shared with the world.

Customs Creator

The Customs Product team will commission one (1) individual who will develop an idea for Beats 2021 Black History Month custom product. This creator will be responsible for gathering and presenting insights that lead to a final headphone and packaging design for the BHM product. In addition to developing both the custom product and packaging, the individual will also be asked to present recommendations for a product seeding plan.

Sports Editorial Content Creator

Are you interested in being a journalist? Do you love sports, music, and culture? Are you self-motivated and eager to learn?
