Brand Connector & Content Associate.

Volpe Media Co. is looking to bring on a Brand Connector & Content Associate. This is not a hard sales role. Your main responsibility would be starting conversations with local businesses and helping facilitate meetings, calls, or shoot opportunities so I can step in and handle pricing, contracts, and closing.

The focus is simply getting Volpe Media in front of decision-makers and building initial rapport — letting the work and results do the rest.

This role is also hands-on and creative. You’d be involved in shoots when needed, helping with on-site rapport, behind-the-scenes content, modeling when appropriate, and assisting with social media posting or account support. You’d be representing the brand in real-world settings, so professionalism and communication are important.

Role expectations:

• Start conversations with local businesses (DM, email, in-person)

• Clearly explain what Volpe Media does at a high level

• Facilitate meetings or shoot opportunities (not responsible for pricing or closing)

• Attend shoots when needed to assist with content, BTS, or modeling

• Support social media posting or account management when assigned

• Communicate clearly and show up on time

Pay structure:

• Hourly: $15/hr to start for outreach and business development

• Creative/production work: Hourly rate can increase as responsibilities and experience grow

• Commission (facilitation-based):

  • Ongoing social media, photo, or video contracts: $350 per new client you personally introduce that becomes a paying client

  • Commission amount may increase as your hourly rate, responsibilities, and contribution to the business grow

  • One-time photo or video projects: Commission based on the project total

Commission is paid once the client signs and the first payment is received. Commission applies only to clients you personally introduce that result in a paid project. Hourly pay and commission are tracked separately, and it’s possible to earn both from the same client.

This role is meant to be collaborative and flexible, with room to grow into more consistent hourly work, increased pay, higher commissions, or deeper involvement as Volpe Media scales.

How the Role Works:

You’ll have a lot of flexibility in how you approach outreach. I’ll provide an overview of Volpe Media’s services, help you get familiar with our offerings, and be available whenever you have questions or want feedback.

From there, you’ll have the freedom to explore different ways of connecting with local businesses, including:

• Instagram or social media outreach

• Email outreach

• Finding and calling business owners or decision-makers

• Following up with previous contacts

• Identifying businesses that could benefit from our services

• Visiting local businesses in person when appropriate

• Finding other creative ways to start conversations

The goal isn't to "sell" the client yourself. The goal is to get Volpe Media in the room. Once you've created genuine interest and gotten a meeting, call, or shoot opportunity, I’ll take over the pricing, proposals, contracts, and closing.

I’m happy to answer questions, help you refine your approach, and work through anything you run into. At the same time, this role gives you the opportunity to experiment, find what works, and take ownership of your outreach.

Commission: The standard commission for an ongoing client you personally introduce is $350 once the client signs and their first payment is received. If your work directly contributes to securing a larger package or higher-value contract, I’m willing to increase the commission accordingly.
