What is a freelance creative?

A Freelance Creative is a self-employed professional who provides creative services such as graphic design, writing, photography, video editing, or other artistic work on a project-by-project basis. They typically work with multiple clients rather than being employed by a single company. Freelance Creatives have the flexibility to choose their projects, set their own rates, and manage their schedules, but they are also responsible for finding clients and handling business operations like invoicing and marketing.

What are some common challenges freelance creatives face, and how can they be managed?

Freelance Creatives often face challenges such as inconsistent workflow, client communication, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Managing multiple projects for different clients requires effective organization, time management, and clear expectation-setting from the start of each project. Many Freelance Creatives use project management tools and regular client check-ins to stay on track and ensure timely delivery. Building a reliable client base and setting clear contractual terms can also help reduce uncertainties and lead to more stable business growth.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance creative, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Freelance Creative, you need a strong portfolio showcasing expertise in visual design, copywriting, content creation, or multimedia production, often supported by formal education or self-taught proficiency in relevant disciplines. Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or digital marketing platforms is highly valuable. Exceptional communication, self-motivation, adaptability, and time management set top freelancers apart. These skills are crucial for delivering high-quality work, managing multiple projects, and building lasting client relationships in a competitive, independent environment.

Job description

We're looking for a talented, creative individual to join our KBP Communications team and help bring our brand to life through impactful visuals and storytelling.
We're seeking a Creative Content Specialist who can transform ideas into engaging graphics, video, and social media content - capturing stories from across our business. This is a hands-on, multi-disciplinary role for someone early in their career who is a true versatile player, equally comfortable with graphic design, video editing, and social strategy.
What You'll Do:
  • Design graphics for internal communications, social media, presentations, and other visual assets while maintaining KBP brand standards across all materials.
  • Build templates and branded assets that make internal communications and presentations easy to update and consistently on brand.
  • Support creative design needs for company initiatives, including recognition programs, KBP Cares, and other corporate events.
  • Edit and produce engaging short-form video content for internal communications and social media, including executive interviews, recap videos, reels, and behind-the-scenes content.
  • Manage the full video production process, including editing, basic color correction, audio, and final delivery using tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut.
  • Develop and execute content strategies across Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, including managing the content calendar, monitoring performance metrics, and optimizing content based on results.
  • Engage with online audiences by responding to comments and messages while fostering an authentic social media community.
  • Capture photo and video content at company events and provide live event coverage, social media posts, stories, and polished post-event recap content.
  • Write engaging social media captions and other short-form internal communications, including text messages and company announcements, while ensuring content is accurate, on brand, and aligned with KBP's voice.
  • Collaborate across departments to bring company stories to life through compelling visual and written content.
  • Maintain flexibility to support occasional evening or weekend events as business needs require.

What We're Looking For:
  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Communications, Marketing, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 3+ years of professional experience spanning graphic design, video editing, and/or social media (internships and freelance work count).
  • A true multi-hyphenate creative, comfortable moving between design, video, and social platforms, with hands-on experience in at least two of these disciplines.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or InDesign) for design work.
  • Working knowledge of video editing tools such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or similar.
  • Solid writing and copy-editing skills.
  • A portfolio demonstrating range across design and video work is required for consideration.
  • Creative and strategic thinker with the ability to own a plan and execute against it.
  • Strong storytelling instincts across visual, video, and written formats.
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
  • Comfortable with occasional flexible hours around key events.
  • Experience managing a brand's social media presence, especially growing a following from scratch, is preferred.
  • Familiarity with social scheduling and analytics tools is preferred.
  • Restaurant or franchise business experience is preferred.

What KBP Brings to the Table:
KBP is a leading restaurant franchise group with a clear vision: to be a great place to work, a great place to eat, and a great place to own. We're focused on sustainable growth that creates opportunities for our business and our people.
