Free Social Media Content for your business

If you're considering recruiting, or planning to spend on marketing to boost your audience online, we can offer free social media content - provided by a group of professionally mentored content creators.

All you need to do is agree to interview some of our people for that vacancy or freelance project - and the opportunity of a full-time, part-time or project work as a prospect.

Your vacancy doesn't even have to be for a purely social media or marketing role. We often help fill a variety of vacancies where content creation skills are viewed as an added bonus, as part of a wider job description.

The Presentation Day

On this day, any business interested in taking someone on is invited to come and watch all of our candidates' final video showreels and meet the talent. We provide an interview room and also provide refreshments.

If you do choose to hire one of our people they will continue to be mentored by our media industry professionals at BlackRook.
