Editing
• Edit photos and short videos so they're ready to publish
• Add captions, music and text overlays where they help
• Keep everything in line with the McQueens look and tone of voice
Community and reporting
• Reply to comments and messages, passing orders and enquiries to the right person
• Track what's working and share simple monthly numbers with the team
• Keep an eye on trends and suggest ideas we could try
Supporting the business
• Supply images for the website, newsletter and sales team
• Help in the studio during busy periods
• Take on other tasks across the business as needed
