Social Media Videographer and Marketer

About Us

Kaage Homes is a real estate and design-build firm based on Chicago’s North Shore. We help clients buy, design, and build homes that are not only beautiful, but strategic investments.

We’re building a media-driven brand — sharing real projects, real decisions, and behind-the-scenes access to how homes are designed, built, and sold.

The Role

We’re looking for a social media videographer + content marketer who can take ownership of our content from idea → execution → publishing.

This is not just a filming role.
We need someone who can think, shoot, edit, and distribute content that builds our brand and drives business.

What You’ll Do

Content Strategy & Ideation

• Propose weekly content ideas aligned with our projects, listings, and brand
• Identify trends and translate them into our voice (Instagram, YouTube, etc.)

Filming (On-Site)

• Film 1+ day per week on location (homes, showroom, job sites)
• Capture both long-form and short-form footage
• Direct light structure during filming (what to say, how to frame, etc.)

Editing & Production

• Edit long-form YouTube videos (5–15 min range)
• Cut short-form content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
• Add captions, pacing, music, and polish aligned with a luxury brand

Publishing & Distribution

• Upload and optimize content across platforms (YouTube, Instagram, etc.)
• Write captions, titles, and basic descriptions
• Maintain a consistent posting schedule

What We’re Looking For

• Strong video shooting and editing skills (iPhone or camera — both fine)
• Proficiency in tools like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or CapCut
• Understanding of social media content (what performs and why)
• Ability to take initiative and bring ideas — not wait for direction
• Organized, reliable, and able to manage timelines independently
• Interest in real estate, design, or architecture is a plus

Bonus If You Have

• Experience growing or managing a social media account
• YouTube editing experience (storytelling, retention, thumbnails, etc.)
• Eye for design / aesthetics

Compensation

• Hourly or project-based (based on experience)
• Opportunity for long-term role as we scale content and brand

How to Apply

Please include:

• Portfolio or examples of video work (YouTube, Instagram, etc.)
• Any social accounts you’ve worked on
• A short note on how you would approach content for a real estate/design brand

Final Note

We are building something ambitious.
If you’re someone who wants to create content that actually drives a brand and business, not just film clips, this is a great opportunity to get in early and grow with us.
