Job Title: Generative AI Video Creative (Freelance)

Location: Washington, DC

• Remote

Company: Bully Pulpit International

About The Role

We are building a roster of elite freelance AI video creatives who can rapidly concept, generate, and craft high-quality advertising and social content using emerging generative AI workflows. This is a freelance role, but you will collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Producers, Strategists, and Client teams to bring campaigns to life across social, digital, broadcast, and integrated channels.

This role is not simply about prompting tools — it’s about creative judgment, storytelling, editorial instincts, and understanding how to translate strategic ideas into emotionally resonant visual content at speed.

What You’ll Do

• Translate Briefs: Take strategic briefs, concepts, or scripts and single-handedly translate them into visually compelling concepts and executions using AI-assisted workflows.
• Rapidly Prototype: Generate and iterate creative directions quickly for internal and client review, adapting to feedback on the fly.
• Generate and Edit: Use AI-powered tools to create, edit, color-grade, and sound-design high-quality video content across a variety of formats.
• Seamlessly Integrate: Blend AI-generated assets with live-action, motion graphics, stock footage, VO, music, and sound design when needed to create a unified aesthetic.
• Deliver Polished Outputs: Ensure all edits are broadcast-ready or social-ready, carefully managing AI artifacts and maintaining visual consistency.
• Manage Risk (IP & Licensing): Maintain strict awareness of licensing, IP, likeness usage, and platform-specific considerations related to generative AI content.
• Provide Strategic Guidance: Help establish best practices and realistic expectations around AI-assisted production capabilities, timelines, and outputs.
• Collaborate Effectively: Act as a trusted partner alongside agency creative, strategy, production, and account teams in a fast-moving, integrated environment.

Requirements

• AI Fluency: Deep, hands-on mastery of top-tier generative models (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, Veo, Sora, LTX, ElevenLabs) and upscaling tools (e.g., Topaz Video AI).
• Cinematic Experience: Experience with directing and/or cinematography. Understanding of lighting, framing, and lens selection.
• Elevated Taste Level: High taste level and strong editorial judgment across pacing, performance, composition, sound, and emotional storytelling.
• Versatility: Experience creating both punchy, social-first content and highly polished, nuanced campaign creative.
• Production Reality: Ability to balance speed, experimentation, and production realities while maintaining top-tier quality.
• Temperament & Mindset: Highly organized, reliable, and communicative. Comfortable operating independently while integrating into collaborative agency workflows.

Bonus Points For

• Audio Editing Skills: Exceptional sound design capabilities (SFX and Foley).
• Color Correction/Grading Skills: Ability to match disparate AI shots and live-action footage.
• Advanced AI Workflows: Experience with node-based AI interfaces (like ComfyUI), local model running, or custom model training.
• Motion Graphics Skills: Ability to design and animate custom typography, transitions, and graphic overlays (e.g., in After Effects).

Benefits (U.S.-based employees)

• 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%
• Generous time off for vacation
• $50 monthly phone reimbursement
• Unlimited sick time
• 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents

We encourage all applicants, even if your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification.
