About the company:
Content Juice () is a video repurposing agency that specializes in repurposing long-form videos into short-form videos ideal for YouTube Shorts, IG Reels, TikTok, and more. The agency was founded by Evan Shank (@the_evanshank on YT and social media) in late 2023. Evan has been a full-time solopreneur in the marketing world since 2019. After transitioning his business and personal brand to specialize specifically in organic video content creation, the concept of Content Juice was born. Our goal is to help other online brands reach their growth goals through creating and distributing irresistible video content. From small creators, to large online brands we aim to help our clients squeeze the most juice out of their existing videos

Our company culture:
Although the team is fully-remote (North America, Asia, Australia) as of now, our culture as a small brand is incredibly important. For our brand to do great work and attract high quality clients and professionals Content Juice holds virtues such as Honesty, Integrity, Creativity, Kindness, Ambition, and Critical Thinking in very high regard. We aim to do our best in not only the work we specialize in but also to support and inspire each other internally. There’s way too much negativity, hostility, and unhealthy comparison surfacing these days and although we are a video content agency, we can positively impact each other, our clients, and our growing army of supporters. The Content Juice brand as a whole is in it’s very first stage of growth right now – focusing solely on the agency service as a vehicle for generating revenue and building equity of trust and rapport with our target audience globally. With new opportunities on the horizon our aim is to build a fun and unique brand that excites the world with everything we do and create.

5) If selected to interview, there will be a short google meet call between us and your camera will be required – I want to see you and chat face-to-face! ????
