Do you love creating digital content? Do you live on social media? Apply to become a Digital Media Creator!
Our Digital Media Creators are current Sussex students who create engaging content and share community and research stories on central University channels, working with the Social Media and Student Communications teams.
The Creators help to cover some of the biggest student events, activities and campaigns across campus and Sussex, from One World Week to Graduation, Brighton Pride and more! They've interviewed senior University leadership on camera, introduced students to essential services, published Instagram stories from Brighton Pride and developed content in partnership with Brighton Festival.
Why apply to become a Digital Media Creator?
If you're interested in developing your creative media and video content skills, you can apply to become one of our Digital Media Creators.
It's a casual, paid role with flexible hours, so you can earn extra money while you study. We ask for a commitment of around six hours per month, alongside regular check-ins with staff and your fellow creators.
You'll work closely with the Communications department and have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and students from across the University. We'll provide training and support to identify what you'd like to get out of the scheme. Plus, you'll have opportunities to pitch creative ideas to us and tell us what you'd like to see online, or in student communications.
Since starting the scheme in 2017, many of our Digital Media Creators (formerly Digital Media Gurus) have gone on to work in social and digital media after graduating. You’ll gain transferable skills which are applicable throughout the creative industries and beyond.
