• Capture high-quality behind-the-scenes (BTS) video, raw B-roll, and mobile-first footage for rapid deployment across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and LinkedIn.
• Organize and catalog raw media assets, maintaining a structured digital asset library with standardized naming conventions and tags.

2. Copywriting & Corporate Communications

4. Trend Forecasting & Market Intelligence

• Daily monitoring of TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit to identify viral beauty products, emerging textures, applicator trends, and trending audio.
