Ashburton County, New Zealand Rushton Marketing Full time NZ$45,000 - NZ$60,000 per year

We're on the hunt for a full-time Social Media Content Creator to join our growing team at Rushton Marketing.

We're busier than ever creating content for a bunch of awesome local brands and we need another creative legend to help us keep the magic flowing.

If you're passionate about storytelling through visuals, confident behind the camera, and live and breathe social media trends, this role was made for you.

About Us: We're an established local marketing agency based in Ashburton, celebrating our tenth year in business.

We're a small but mighty team of professionals who genuinely love what we do. We take our work seriously (but not ourselves), we wear activewear on Fridays, and we're partial to a cheeky Pals on a Thursday arvo.

About the Role: As a Content Creator, you'll be responsible for capturing, creating and curating engaging content for a range of clients. Our content management clients are based in Canterbury (Christchurch, Ashburton and Timaru). You will work alongside our current Content Creator. No two days are the same — one day you'll be shooting beauty products, the next you'll be flying a drone over an effluent pond.

You'll work closely with our clients to bring their stories to life through great visuals and clever social content.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Planning, shooting and editing photo and video content for clients.
  • Creating, scheduling and posting content across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
  • Writing engaging captions and copy that align with each brand's tone.
  • Working directly with clients — planning shoots, directing talent, and making them feel comfortable on camera.
  • Collaborating with our team on creative concepts, marketing campaigns, and strategies.
  • Assisting with general marketing tasks and learning new skills along the way.

About You: We're looking for someone who's equal parts creative and organised — someone who can bring ideas to life but also keep projects on track.

You'll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have experience managing social media for a business, brand, or personal profile.
  • Are a confident photographer and/or videographer, able to produce high-quality, on-brand visuals. (bonus points if you can fly a drone)
  • Love coming up with fresh, creative ideas that stop the scroll.
  • Have great people skills — you're comfortable working directly with clients and have natural charisma behind (and in front of) the camera.
  • Have a flair for copywriting and storytelling.
  • Are proactive, reliable, organised, and have a great sense of humour.
  • Have some knowledge of other marketing tools (email marketing, Google Ads, Meta Ads etc.) — not essential, but nice to have
  • This role would suit a professional photographer, current social media content creator, or influencer looking to take their skills to the next level in a creative agency setting.

At Rushton Marketing, you'll:

  • Join a supportive, creative, and fun team environment.
  • Work with a variety of local brands — no two days are the same.
  • Have the freedom to bring your creative ideas to life.
  • Keep learning and growing as our agency continues to expand.
  • Get to celebrate wins with a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
  • We believe in flexibility, creativity, and building careers in a workplace you actually enjoy being part of
