Creative Marketing Strategist & Short-Form Video Editor

Two Robots Studios

Richmond, VA • Remote

Full-time

Re-posted 6 days ago

Job description

Remote | Contract | Marketing & Creative

Build the videos that make people stop scrolling.

Learn more about us at tworobots.com

Two Robots Studios is building Two Robots: Unleashed, a competitive sci-fi multiplayer card game designed to become the next great competitive gaming ecosystem.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just edit videos.

We’re looking for someone obsessed with why videos work.

Someone who studies TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Meta ads, Steam trailers, and viral gaming content, then turns those insights into creative that actually gets people to click, share, and play.

If you’ve ever watched an ad and immediately started thinking “I know how I’d make this perform better,” you’ll probably enjoy this role.

What You’ll Do

Create high-performing short-form videos for:

  • TikTok
  • Instagram Reels
  • YouTube Shorts
  • Meta Ads
  • Steam marketing
  • Discord announcements

Work with our team to:

  • Transform gameplay into compelling stories.
  • Develop multiple creative concepts for the same feature.
  • Find better hooks, pacing, and endings.
  • Continuously improve videos using performance data.

Experiment constantly.

Instead of making one trailer…

…you might make five completely different openings to discover which one captures attention.

What Success Looks Like

You’re constantly asking questions like:

  • Why would someone stop scrolling?
  • What makes this exciting?
  • Can the hook be stronger?
  • Is the payoff worth watching?
  • Would someone who has never heard of this game understand why they should care?

Editing is only half the job.

The other half is creative thinking.

You’ll Receive

We’ll provide:

  • Gameplay footage
  • Access to the game
  • Original artwork
  • UI assets
  • Logos
  • Sound effects
  • Music
  • Design guidance
  • Feedback from our art and marketing team

You bring the creative vision that ties everything together.

Who You Are

You probably have experience with:

  • Premiere Pro
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • After Effects
  • CapCut
  • Final Cut Pro

But software isn’t what we’re hiring for.

We’re hiring someone who understands:

  • Hooks
  • Storytelling
  • Retention
  • Marketing psychology
  • Gaming audiences
  • Viral creative

You know how to structure information so people keep watching.

Bonus Points

Experience creating content for:

  • Mobile games
  • PC games
  • Steam launches
  • TikTok
  • Meta advertising
  • Gaming creators
  • Influencer marketing

Extra bonus if you’ve worked with A/B testing or performance marketing.

Our Hiring Process

Rather than judging portfolios alone, we start with a small paid creative trial.

We’ll provide gameplay footage and access to the game.

Your challenge is simple:

Create a short marketing video that makes people want to play.

We care far more about the idea than flashy editing.

Why Join Two Robots Studios?

  • Fully remote
  • Work directly with the founder
  • Creative freedom
  • Help define the studio’s marketing voice
  • Long-term opportunity as the game grows
  • Real ownership over our creative direction

Ready to Apply?

To be considered, you must complete our candidate survey. We use it to filter applicants who pay attention to detail and genuinely care about the role — applications without it will not be reviewed.
