Apply & track with Apply EdgeYou'll be making short-form social content for a Mandarin-speaking consumer brand in the baby and parenting space — regular, ongoing volume, not a one-off. It's a small-footprint job: you, an iPhone, and one mom on camera.Casting. You find the talent — mostly moms — through Actors Access and similar platforms. Post the breakdown, sift submissions, pick the right person, sort the rate and the release, lock the location.Shooting. You film it on an iPhone. Product-in-real-life, UGC-style demos, day-in-the-life, street interviews. Natural light, handheld, fast. No crew, no truck, no call sheet.Editing. You cut your own footage into verticals for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Hook in the first second, captions, native pacing, trending audio. Turnaround in days.You'll also be the direct line to the client. Their team works in Mandarin — briefs, feedback and product notes come in Chinese. You run those calls and threads yourself, turn the brief into a shot list, and close the loop when work is delivered.Who you areRequiredFluent Mandarin and English, spoken and written.
