Hey there creator, I’m Dan, an 100k+ creator on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/imdanthomas/) and founder of Social Boom (https://www.socialboom.club/signup/), a fast growing social media coaching business that helps small business owners grow and monetise fast.

I’m looking for a passionate, driven, creative and FEARLESS creator to join our team and help me create content that’ll impact hundreds of thousands of people – in short, I’m looking for a D-Rock to grow me grow my Gary Vaynerchuck style brand.

So naturally, you NEED TO KNOW SOCIAL MEDIA. If you’re not obsessed with content on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, and don’t know how they work, please don’t apply.

Your job will be to…

MAKE VIRAL CONTENT WITH ME

Come up with crazy ideas with me and film them, the crazier the better. I need some with creative vision, no limints, A LOT of good humour, a can do attitude always and a drive to always push the boundaries of what can be done.

We’ll be editing everywhere from the high street to home so confidence is needed – if you’re shy you need not apply.

YOU DON’T have to be a great videographer already but it helps. It’s about the personality and approach, I’ll teach you on the job.

DOCUMENT ME

In Social Boom we’re always in conversations with passionate creators online and in-person. You’ll be with me every step of the way documenting meetings, meetups and masterclasses (again think GaryVee style content).

You’ll travel with me, both locally and internationally at times (including places such as Orlando) recording the journey and making every day. It’s gonna be a wild ride 🙂

EDITING

You’ll turn all that raw footage into viral content using Final Cut. You’ll need a keen eye for the ‘big aha’ moments and be able to condense long form footage into short, meaningful clips.

You’ll also need a fast and effective editing style for high volume output – if you haven’t edited before we can teach you but you’ll need a can-do PROACTIVE approach at all times.

IN SHORT

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something that’s utterly different than anything you’ve seen before, have a wild time and learn an immense amount as you go.

As we work together I’ll be teaching you content creation, videography, photography, entrepreneurial skills, client management, high performance mindset techniques, marketing skills and more.

You’ll also be immersed in the coaching side of our business, meeting new people every day and seeing real world life-changing results for our hundreds of clients.

So… you have to be great with people. You have to have passion and drive. You have to always be pushing to be your best. And you have to WANT IT.

If you’re that person, we’re looking for you 🙂

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Dan

What is an entertainment career?

An entertainment career encompasses a broad spectrum of roles and activities within the creative industries, including film, television, music, theater, and digital media. These careers involve the creation, production, and distribution of content designed to entertain, inform, and engage audiences. Here’s a closer look at the various aspects of an entertainment career, what it involves, and the opportunities it presents.

Key Sectors in Entertainment

1. Film and Television: This sector includes jobs ranging from acting, directing, and screenwriting to more technical roles like cinematography, sound engineering, and editing. Professionals in this field work on movies, TV shows, commercials, and documentaries.

2. Music: Careers in music are diverse and can range from performing as a singer or instrumentalist to roles behind the scenes such as music production, songwriting, and managing artists.

3. Theater: Theater professionals may work as actors, directors, set designers, or playwrights. This field emphasizes live performances and often requires a strong background in performing arts.

5. Event Management and Promotion: This involves organizing concerts, premieres, sports events, and other entertainment functions. Careers here include event planners, promoters, and logistical support roles.

Educational Paths

Most roles in entertainment require a combination of formal education and hands-on experience. Degrees in film, theater, music, digital arts, or media studies are common among professionals in this field. However, many skills in the entertainment industry are honed through apprenticeships, internships, and on-the-job training.

Skills Required

A successful career in entertainment often demands creativity, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. Technical skills specific to an industry segment—like editing software proficiency for filmmakers or digital audio workstations knowledge for music producers—are also crucial. Soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and networking, are essential, given the collaborative nature of the industry.

Career Opportunities and Challenges

Entertainment careers can be incredibly rewarding, offering the chance to work on creative projects and sometimes gaining public recognition. However, these careers can also be highly competitive and unpredictable. Job stability can be an issue, as work is often project-based and may involve periods of unemployment between gigs. Moreover, the rise of digital technologies continues to reshape career paths in entertainment, creating new opportunities but also challenges for traditional roles.

Conclusion

An entertainment career can be dynamic and exciting, suited for those passionate about creating content that moves and entertains audiences. Whether you’re drawn to the spotlight or interested in the technical and strategic sides of the industry, there’s a wide range of opportunities to explore. As with any field, success in entertainment requires dedication, adaptability, and continual learning.

For anyone considering this path, understanding the scope of the industry, the necessary skills, and the typical career trajectories can provide a solid foundation for making informed decisions about entering and navigating this competitive field.
